#2047 of 2067 Brake Solenoid by jimmyg4 Sep 12, 2006 (2:56 am)
I have a '01 tacoma. The brake solenoid went out that allows you to push the shift button on the shifter, I now have to use the small manual release button next to the shifter to shift gears (of course I found this out the hard way, at the worst time, while trying to pull my boat out of the water on the launch ramp!).   Question - My brake lights do not work now. Is the problem related? All fuses are fine, parking lights work, running lights, back up lights, all are fine, just no lights when I hit the brakes. I can live with the manual shifting, but can I get my brake lights back??   Thanks!   jimmyg4 Replies to this message: tacoman05 (Sep 12, 2006 2:56 pm)
#2048 of 2067 Heat shield on catalytic converter by mikefm58 Sep 12, 2006 (10:45 am)
I've got an 04 Tacoma with 25K miles and the heat shield started rattling. Dealer says the weld is coming apart and that it's all part of the catalytic converter, but is covered on warranty. So much for Toyota quality. Replies to this message: mikefm58 (Sep 20, 2006 6:02 pm)

Replying to: jimmyg4 (Sep 12, 2006 2:56 am) It's probably the switch for the brake lights themselves, should be under the dash near the pedal. The shifter is wired in such a way that if it doesn't sense the brake lights on, it won't allow you to shift out of park.   I haven't had this problem on my Taco, but I had a Ford a few years back with the same problem and that's what it ended up being.

Replying to: marc20 (Sep 13, 2006 12:46 pm) My advice is to get a new mechanic. Getting brakes to bleed is not rocket science. There are a few things that can cause squishy pedal if that is the problem, but a week is even excessive.

Replying to: mfrancko (Aug 28, 2006 7:33 pm) I have a 2006 tacoma access cab 4X4 TRD and mine does the same thing. They too tried the drive line switch but it didn't do a lick. Their solution: LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT.... Let me know if you find a better solution.

"   I took the truck in yesterday to have the catalytic converter put on and the problem turned out to be a simple clamp on the exhaust. My dealer is an idiot.

Replying to: seaweedsteve (Aug 27, 2005 6:00 pm) I had the same problem with my 96 2.4 tacoma. It was worse in the summer, started and ran fine in the winter, no codes. I unplugged the air intake temperature sensor (sensor in the side of the air filter) and no more problems. I went to get a new one but toyota wants $70.00. I told them to keep it. It pulls a code now but runs great.
#2055 of 2067 05 -06 tacoma dip sticks by Oct 12, 2006 (2:34 pm)
Is it me or is the V-6 tacoma dip sticks hard to read. I check the oil on a regular bassis and have a hard time getting an accurate oil reading. I even thought the dealer over filled my oil, took it back, they showed the level as being right on. Went home checked it again. Looked to full or couldnt read it???

#2056 of 2067 Clunk feeling after stopping. by bgrove Oct 12, 2006 (2:50 pm)
I had requested some help earlier about this unusual feeling after stopping in my 2003 Double Cab Tacoma. My truck felt like it hopped after releasing the brake at an intersection light. I finally had to take it in to the dealer for a recall and I mentioned this to them so that they could check it. What I found out is that there's a grease zert on the very back of the drive line past the tranny. I had it filled with grease and it cured the problem for about a month. I'm now starting to feel it again, and I'll have to get under there and re-fill it. Other posters have mentioned this before and this is just to reinforce this issue.
