#100 of 139 Re: 2000 Toyota Avalon Alternator [tjc78] by 2ktoy Jan 11, 2007 (2:27 pm)
Replying to: tjc78 (Jan 06, 2007 1:14 pm) It continues to flicker, however as the car warms up and is driven it becomes a little less noticable, last night I disconected the positive cable from the battery while the car was running it didn't shut off, but the dash board lights started to flash."> Replies to this message: wwest (Feb 28, 2008 9:58 am)

Replying to: tjc78 (Jan 07, 2007 8:34 am) Tjc78...       First of all, thank you very much for those instructions. I appreciate it enormously.. my only question to you is "does disabling the seat belt chime also disable the drivers side or any other air bag in the car? Thanks again.   Roland Replies to this message: tjc78 (Jan 12, 2007 1:49 pm) denistd (Jan 13, 2007 9:18 am) tomstuff8 (Sep 23, 2008 4:15 am) tjc78 (Sep 23, 2008 5:55 am)

Replying to: rpfingsten (Jan 12, 2007 5:14 am) I can not imagine that disabling the seat belt chime would shut off the airbags. That would be totally insane. I seem to remember reading on another forum, that someone had a dealer perform the procedure (after a lot of arguing) so that alone leads me to believe that the airbags are not affected.   Also, when someone sits in my passenger seat the light on the dash says "airbag on." You are welcome for the instructions, but I can't take credit I copied it from another posting.   Replies to this message: denistd (Jan 13, 2007 9:18 am) tomstuff8 (Sep 23, 2008 4:15 am) tjc78 (Sep 23, 2008 5:55 am)

Replying to: wseattle78 (Jun 14, 2006 8:15 pm) Did you ever get a good answer to this question. I have a 96 Avalon that I can not get the lights to turn off. It is now draining the battery and the mechanic cannot give me a good answer. I have heard it is a short somewhere in the ectrical, but it is still not fixed.   thanks
#105 of 139 Harness Wires and Starter burned by linusva Feb 15, 2007 (12:20 pm)
My 97 Avalon with 150K miles, started “smoking” within 5 minutes of driving and the engine cut off.   The dealer said the starter and the harness wires were burned out, and, the computer (ECU) may have fried too. They said the cause could be the new battery I bought at a Shell Gas Station two months back in December, but he could not confirm it.   The dealer quoted $3,200 to replace the starter and the harness wire, and, another $1,600 if the ECU has to be replaced.

Replying to: linusva (Feb 15, 2007 12:20 pm) two months ago? Sounds hardly plausible.   What is DOES sound like is that your starter shorted out or "hung" after you started the car....it then overheated from being constantly engaged or "motoring", and this fried the wiring harness.   If you have comprehensive insurance this might be covered, I'm not sure.
#107 of 139 I can't find the flasher by tonymtz May 22, 2007 (7:36 pm)
The turn singal on my '96 avalon does not work. The fuses are OK. I'm thinking that is the flasher, but I can't find it.Also, I don't have the ownwer manual.
#108 of 139 Cannot get tag light out for replacement by bbburson Jan 02, 2008 (11:07 am)
'01 Avalon: one of the two lights that shine down on my tag is burned out. I removed the liner in the trunk and see where the light is mounted but I cannot figure out how to remove it to replace the bulb! It *looks* like I should be able to squeeze the plastic tabs at either end of the housing and pop it out. Any suggestions how to do this -- should be -- minor repair?
#109 of 139 VSC ABS light comes on, Gauges move up and down by intlprestige Jan 11, 2008 (7:19 am)
PLEASE HELP!!! I went out to start my 2000 XLS Avalon. Battery seemed to be dead, clock needed to be reset. Tried several times to start without jumping, after about the 3rd or 4th time the car started. The very next day, I was on my way to work when my VSC light and the ABS light came on , while idling at a light. I shut down my wipers (due to rainy day) turned off my heat and radio and successfully drove to work with no other problems. I tried restarting tihe car, no luck. All of my gauges such as temperature, speedometer, gas, VSC,ABS etc. were going on and off, up and down. Car still did not start. Alarm was clicking as if to faint to come on. Couldn't move shift into neutral with key turned -on. Alarm finally sounded. Waited approx 10 mins and tried to start again (without jumping) Car started! What is going on? I had an aftermarket automatic starter with alarm installed but that was several years ago and I had no problem until now... I am at work and don't know what to expct when I get off...Please Help...
