My horn in my 2015 Toyota tundra TRD Crewmax PRO only works if the wheel is turned to a certain point and then if you're lucky enough to find it's "sweet spot" on the first try then that would be an amazing site to see but normally the only time I can get the horn to work is when I accidentally hit it when I am trying to back up into a parking spot or something along those lines.

This has randomly happened. Sometimes cleaning the windshield over the camera and the emblem (radar is behind that) will help. Any other lights on?

Hit pothole, something electrical happened

2007 Toyota Tundra SR5 Crew Cab 174000 miles
While driving my 2007 Tundra today I notice that the radio receiver display was dimmed (it's never done that before). I had to dash into a store and as my brother was in the truck I left it running for the air conditioner (it's almost 100 degrees here today). Coming back, I saw that the front running lights were on (that's never happened) and the instrument panel lights were on. My truck does NOT have automatic headlights but the is some kind of optical receptor on the dash in front of me. As we continued with our errands I noticed that when I restarted the truck all was normal for a minute an… Read complete

The only thing I know to do is always use genuine Toyota Parts. Other ball joints don’t last.

Intermittent starting issue SolvedSolved

2020 Toyota Tundra Tundra 63000 miles
The engine does not catch when starting. Battery good, starter good. It is clear the starter is engaging and engine tries, long as key is in start. This happens every so often. If I keep trying, with allowing some time in between starts, it eventually starts but cuts off if u do not pump gas as soon as it catches. Fuel issue is my guess. I think fuel pump. But would like some guidance or info on other checks before dropping tank and replacing fuel pump.

Believe it or not, the intermittent starts were caused by Anew Key I purchased from a third party. They screwed up the programming. Since the key is part of the theft deferent system, the incorrect programming (actually screwed up Original key also) the car shuts down when trying to start. The shutdown had all the symptoms of a bad fuel pump. The OEM Dealer did awesome job diagnosing this

Dark no start

2018 Toyota Tundra Tundra 99000 miles
Truck will start and run but after you turn it off and it sets, maybe overnight when you come back out to start it there are nothing no idiot lights no nothing nothing starts no dumb lights no idiot lights no electric to the front seat. Nothing electronic or electric works. You could after a while open the door and let it sit and the truck would show up on the screen with the front door open. And then if you waited for the idiot lights to come on then they would come on. And you could start the truck. This time nothing is working not even what I described to you. I have checked all the fuses except for the blue boxes. The battery all the electronics check out fine all the electrical. When it’s running that is.

I’ve narrowed it down to a short period. It started happening after I got my truck back from an accident. So now I’m waiting on a company to call me back that they look for shorts and cars other vehicles. I’m kind of leaning towards. The ignition.

You should be fine, I service my transmission at 130k. Just drain it replace the strainer (don’t forget the O ring) and fill until fluid starts coming out of the check drain. Go through all the gears R, D, S, 1-2-3-4-5-6 and then I would take a drive for a few miles and check the fluid again. Do it again at 10k miles. Just drain and refill. Repeat all the steps. I wouldn’t worry about the strainer.
