If the dash light is not coming on when you push the button on the stalk, I am pretty sure it is the spiral cable running down the steering column. There is a Techbical Service Bulletin on this piece. Some are being replaced because they affect the air bags. Check with your dealer to se if your VIN is covered.

Depends if it is vacuum actuated or electronic. Vacuum actuated, check the hose that runs from the manifold to the controller, make sure there is vacuum, electronic: replace the control module on the actuator.

do you have acell phone or other charger plugged in or multiple chargers?? i seen so many that draw way to much and keep blowing fuses. we've run several hot sockets direct from the battery to provide power for such dont forget to fuse it !

• Engine oil and filter have not been changed in a while
• Engine oil is of insufficient quantity
• Engine oil specification not suitable for climate condition.
• Poor quality fuel
• Diesel fuel filter is clogged, fuel pressure is inadequate.
• Injectors are worn out or clogged
• Injectors are tainted with carbon deposits
• Injector compensation codes have not been registered on the ECU
• Fuel rails are leaking
• Timing belt has stretched, crankshaft and camshaft are out of sync
• Camshaft sprocket is not aligned according to its peripheral stamp line
• Alternator is not proving the car with enough electric power.
• Rocker cover is not sealed perfectly, engine can't reach necessary vacuum (or pressure), manifold air pressure sensor isn't providing an accurate measurement
• Air intake manifold, cylinder head and exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly are severely clogged up with thick coated oily carbon deposits. Air intake is impeded, exhaust recirculation valve is stuck closed
• Injector washers are of the rubber variety and not of the highly recommended copper variety, resulting in engine "blow by" that leads to the next problem
• Oil pickup mesh screen inside sump is clogged with carbon deposits, oil circulation within the engine is impeded. Injectors require washer replacement with the certified copper washer.This action will prevent "blow by" within the cylinder head.
• Exhaust gas recirculation valve is not functioning properly. Check vacuum controller
• Exhaust gas recirculation heat exchanger is clogged, it's preventing the passage of exchaust or preventing the passage of coolant
• The engine has just been started, usually on a cold morning. The ECU is running a warm up cycle. Usually the engine runs fairly rough, though using SAE 40 instead of SAE 30 makes this warming up process less noisy

Crankshaft position sensor This may be a common cause of misfiring. It may have been removed at some stage, the magnetic sensor will attract any metal filings or particles. A mechanic may have removed the sensor, reinstalling with small particles attached to its sensor head (the end that reads the sprocket location). The ECU then receives a less than perfect crankshaft position. Metal particles found clinging to this sensor should be removed, though its likely that the sensor would have lost some degree of magnetism to the filings (giving a false reading) and be in need of replacement. Reinstalling a new crankshaft position sensor Make sure the hole that the sensor goes into is clean and free of dirt and it presses properly between the surfaces. Sometimes a new sensor has a slight imperfection on the moulded plastic, this prevents it from pressing up against its surface. Its easy to remove - just a thin bit of excess plastic.

First Check the fuses. There are two (or three) that run the radio 1 - holds the settings when truck is off (7.5A Acc) - probably not this one, cuz if it fails, lotsa stuff won't work. 2 - turns radio on when key comes on (10A Radio No1) - Check it with a meter, not your eye, the filaments are very fine. (If you have the JBL system) (30A Radio No2 runs the amp/ subwoofer) If these are both OK, and you're still having trouble, post back, you may need to remove the radio.......

Yes,will need to check back of radio.

-You need to do drain check to find out what circuit that still using power when the car is off. If you know how, it's sample. Good Luck Mai Lor

The air conditioning fan motor is located under the glove box. Three bolts, forget the size, but about an 5 or 6mm (7/32 i rumored to work well). Pull the plug out after you drop the motor. Picture of 2 of the three screws here. http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/61-2nd-generation-2005/246763-hvac-blower-motor-resistor-replacement.html The connector is shown here http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/61-2nd-generation-2005/361736-ac-heater-blower-motor-failure.html

Is it just in third gear or does it vibrate at different speeds in other gears?

Something in the drive line is loose or has lost a bolt etc and it takes a certain amount of torque to get it vibrating, hence it appears above 35. Closely inspec the driveline to find it.

Read you owners manual & reset those features

There is a driveshaft recall on several years of the 2nd generation Tacomas. Contact your dealer and arrange for a mechanic to test drive it.

Do a Google search and you'll see it on there, images too.

-Find in its manual. Good luck Mai

hi there. you will usually find the fan resistor very close. attached to the back . or anywhere around it. hope this helps.
