#4484 of 4692 '05 Highlander: map light drained battery by sde Jan 18, 2009 (5:21 pm)
Oy. My wife left one of the two map lights on in our '05 Highlander Limited, and the battery drained. It jump-started successfully.   Is there no automatic protection for this? Don't the lights go off automatically after some period of time if the engine is off?   We also have an '05 Corolla; I have the same question regarding that car and its map light (in case anyone in this forum knows).   Thanks,   SDE
#4485 of 4692 Serpentine Belt by byumgr Jan 20, 2009 (6:48 am)
I have a 2005 Highlander Limited 6cyl. with 59,200 miles. I was told that the serpentine drive belt should be replaced. My question is, has anyone had theirs replaced this soon and if so, what was the total cost including labor. Replies to this message: mikefm58 (Jan 20, 2009 3:35 pm)

Replying to: byumgr (Jan 20, 2009 6:48 am) I've got an 04 HL 4 cyl with 44K miles, no problems so far. Sounds like your service advisor has a boat payment due.
#4487 of 4692 Whistle noise from front heater by krb1 Jan 22, 2009 (4:50 am)
I have purchased a certified 2008 HL 3 months ago with 25,000 miles on it. Since I started using the front heater, a high pitch whistle like sound comes on and lasts anywhere from 30 to 60 seconds. I don't turn the heater on till the engine is warm, but it does not make difference. I even tried to drive with the heater on and then turned off. About ten minutes later I turned it back on and the noise started all over again. I just took the car for 30,000 mile service and asked them to fix the problem. They told me that they changed the air filter which had some debris in it. However, yesterday I tried again and the noise is still there lasting even longer and sounding even louder. Did anybody experience similar issue? What could be the problem? I am going to call the service this morning again. Thanks in advance. Karolina Replies to this message: tsotsi (Jan 23, 2009 7:38 am)

Replying to: krb1 (Jan 22, 2009 4:50 am) Just a wild guess. Could it be a fan bearing?
#4489 of 4692 One more question - noise heard while in reverse by krb1 Jan 23, 2009 (4:46 pm)
I have posted message #4487 and just wanted to add that I have one more issue. Only when in reverse and only sometimes I hear noise from underneath like something is loose, esp. when I break to slow down. I asked the dealership to check it out along with the heater noise. They checked and said that everything is O.K. and nothing is loose, yet the noise is still there. Perhaps it's time to change the dealership/service. I am starting to wonder if they know what they are doing. The only reason I would hate to do that is services included with the purchase (free oil change, batteries, and tires as long as I own the vehicle). Also, free 30,000 - 60,000 - and 70,000 mile service. Replies to this message: bluenose2 (Mar 02, 2009 1:49 pm)

Replying to: sitiakab (Jun 08, 2006 11:59 am) Thanks for the info, just what I wanted to know. Even what tools to use, excellent! Now that I know it can be done without removing the intake manifold I will attempt it. Probably not for a few months though. I will let you know how I make out.
#4492 of 4692 Steering by rugby65 Mar 02, 2009 (12:48 pm)
I have a 2003 HL limited front wheel drive purchased it new. it has 66253 trouble free miles except for one minor glitch and that is the steering. From day one the ease of steering it in a parking situation changes one day it will steer without any effort at all and may be like that for several days. then it goes back to taking both hands while steering in a shopping parking lot. On the high way at high speeds I don't notice it that much--there isn't any pulling to the left or right and no balance problem.   New tires did improve the ride and noise drastically over the crappy goodyear intregity tires that it came with.   Now to the point does this model have an electrical component that malfunctions now and then or what?

Replying to: krb1 (Jan 23, 2009 4:46 pm) I have exactly the same situation with my 2006 HL. Same response from my dealer.
