... my door electrics go through a weird sequence too even when door is open.
.. but that is'nt all.... please read on...I got my car in dec 07, drove it for about 6 weeks and decided to have a look at driver side window mechanisim, It didnt work when i bought it.
. anyway after looking inside i decided it was a new window/arm/structure needed, i put all back together and left it at that.
... some days later going to work.
.. it shut itself down... all electrics went off...and wouldnt start again...dash never lit up....got towed home.... recharged battery, installed battery night before work
.. again broke down ... same problem... friend suggested starter replacement because on getting the car home 2nd time, tried ignition, dash lit up but starter making clicking noise.
......found out later that clicking noise is not enough power to drive the starter.... replacement starter installed!.
... after leaving car some weeks, i charged battery and she fired up, but now ive got this electrical locking sequence going on now am scared to use her in case she breaks again.
.. my ideas are.
... 1.
bad earth somwhere maybe when i looked at window mechanisim?
maybe my foot knocked wire hanging in footwell?
immobiliser earth.
..(heard that one the other day) also when i got car last year, the battery light was on.
... guy told me it was always on, didnt notice it when i bought her.... if i took the car to a toyota for a diagnostic report
.... will this tell me anything about the problem i'm having?I'm not a mechanic but have a m8 100 miles away who would bend over backwards, do i dare chance taking it to him?
can i do any tests myself?
where would i look for bad earth connections??
i've got just over 1 week to try get this sorted, i dont want to get rid of her, i've pined for this car for years.
.... please guys.
... any input at all will be greatly appreciatedsteve
ps.
its a jap import on a j plate non turbo
