#1 of 7 4Runner - door lock motor problems by jokokomo9 Dec 27, 2006 (10:11 am)
Has anyone had any issues with having to replace the locking motor(s) in their doors? I have a 2003 4Runner and had to replace a motor back in May ($400) and I have another motor that is now out in my passenger door. Wondering if this is a common problem or just bad luck for me.
#2 of 7 Dead Battery by gaile1105 Jun 07, 2007 (12:36 pm)
I purchased my 1998 4Runner a couple of months ago. Last week I could not get my doors to unlock by pushing on my unlock button. I finally opened the door by using my key. When the AAA person came to help me, he said that the my suv had a powerful sound system that was draining the battery and that I should drive it more than I do. Again, today, I am unable to get my doors to unlock just pushing the button. I will call AAA again, but how to I solve my problem? Thanks, Gaile Replies to this message: jokokomo9 (Jun 08, 2007 4:12 am)

Replying to: gaile1105 (Jun 07, 2007 12:36 pm) It sounds like the same problem I had. The lock actuators go bad. One the 2nd and 3rd locks that went out (about a week a part from each other) it took a couple days before the motor quit working. Toyota did cover the cost of the locks but they did make me pay labor - which was about $200 a lock - $400 total.   Good luck.

This kinda of sounds like the same problem I am having. I can not unlock my car using my alarm remote. The alarm is factory I bought it with my 4runner. I have 1999 Toyota 4Runner. The remote will lock the car but it will not unlock the car doors. I changed the battery in the remote today but no avail. I called Toyota but got the run around. Is there away to reset the alarm or disarm it??

The motor for most of these locks is an FC 280PT-22125 (with a brass tab) or a FC 280PC-22125 (without brass tab) Both are on ebay now for $9.99.
