#60 of 102 2008 Toyota Sienna Radio Volume Issue by druzilla1977

Aug 21, 2010 (7:06 am)

So over the past year or so, my wife and I have noticed a problem with the radio volume. Occasionally, the volume will increase on its own and can not be turned down using the knob on the radio itself. You must use the volume control on the steering wheel. The dealership can not duplicate the problem and says that they've checked all the wiring and it seems to be hooked up correctly. I've talked to others in the waiting room at the dealership with the same issue and results. Any suggestions on how to go about fixing this problem?

I have a 2000 sienna and the problem started about a year ago, when I would turn my headlights on with the switch ob the column, I got nothing, but if I turned it back one click they would turn on fully, i just did not have any bright lights,but then all of a sudden it stopped working out of the blue.... the headlights do not come on at all......what do I do???

I have a 2004 sienna and the lights in the rear dont go on when opening the power door but only on the passengers side . When I open the doors on the drivers side they work fine .. Any idea what that is all about ??

cassiejane,
 
Thank you so much!!! Your info on the odometer switch saved me a lot of stress and money.
 
I used to wonder a lot of times why people put in so much time and effort in posting on forums. Today, it actually ended up helping me (thanks to you)!

I think my wife left the headlights or door out for hours and the our 1999 Toyota Sienna van would not start. I took the battery out to recharge at Autozone. Put back the battery and the car started but all dashboard lights including the gauges (speed, fuel) are not working. My wife took it to a mechanic and he tried to replace some fuses (10. 30) in the engine fusebox but the kept blowing up. He told us to take it to check wiring? Can have some suggestions on what to do before I get over charges? Thanks and God bless.

Need to add that the AC, power windows, Radio are not working as well. The vehicle also lost power as I was exiting from freeway. I had it in park and it started again. But signal, dashboard lights, AC, radio, power windows etc are not working. Alternator problem?

Can you please detail the steps to remove the fuse block? I am having exactly the same problem with my 99 Sienna. I have removed the knee bolster and can see the fuse block, but am not sure how to remove the fuse block to access the relay integration attached at the back of the fuse block.

In favor of FE newer design batteries are made as light and small as reasonably possible, so 38,000 miles of service might be as expected. Also depends largely on the number and depth of charge/discharge cycles.
 
New battery is ~$80 at Costco.

A couple of weeks ago my dash light went off but headlights etc were on. Now - thanks to a fuse the dash lights are on. Now the headlights won't come on. two relays next to battery were changes, fuses checked - ok headlamps replaced - ok but no lights. Is thre another resistor to check yet
Sincerely
Eileen Rutledge
