Is the compressor the right one for the car?

Probably the reason D previous owner sold the car. Some Nigerians are just wicked Sha

I will check it n get back to you

cluewebhost:

The ac guy said d compressor is quite bigger than d replaced one

afesco:

Does it need to be bigger? I'm sure the one made for the car works well enough.

That might be your problem.

Good morning elders of Nairaland. Pls I need help urgently. I have a 2009 Toyota Highlander, from time to time, when it’s parked, the panic alarm will trigger on its own. At first, I’ll press the “unlock” and “lock” button on the key before it will stop. Subsequently, the panic alarm has now become more frequent and embarrassing, to say the least. At home or even at public places, it blows. I took it to a car key specialist, the specialist told me that he will recalibrate(whatever that means)the key. He did and charged me 15k. On gettin home, the issue persisted. I called him and told him, he asked me to bring the car back with the two remote keys. I went back with both keys and the car, he checked and checked and even used a special scan device to scan the car. He then told me that unfortunately, there’s nothin he could do. But that he can refer me to another person who is “guaranteed” to fix this problem but that it will cost me N40k. Pls elders, I beg for help urgently as this alarm is becoming unbearable and embarrassing to me and my household. The estate I live in have warned me cos of the noise especially in the nights. HELP PLEASE MY BRETHEREN!!! Thanks in advance.

Hi. Same thing happened on my 2010 Camry XLE.

It was really embarrassing. Alarm went off at random times while I was in bed. I took it to a guy and only gave him about 1,000.

This could help you fix the issue, I'm not certain. He only corrected something around the latch and since that time, everything has been perfect. He corrected something that got stuck. That thing stays up after you close your hood when it should go down. It stays up like your hood is opened. Reason why the alarm system gets triggered.

one of the door is not actually locked.Did you have an accident with the vehicle, that affected the doors? please take the vehicle to electrician.

Thank you for the response Sir. As a matter of fact, there was no accident and the doors appear to have locked properly according to the dashboard. And I’ve taken it to an electrician and the electrician referred me to a car door specialist. The specialist was the one who collected some money from me and still couldn’t fix the problem.

Bro, I’m sorry but I’m not quite familiar with how the dm works here in nairaland. If you could help me with your email or maybe you can send you phone or WhatsApp contact to charliedozy@gmail.com. Thanks

Next time, open your own thread for queries, you will get answers faster. Meanwhile the issue most times in that Highlander is around the hood latch switch. It just goes bonkers after a while. Replace the switch and you should be fine. It can be temporarily bypassed in the interim.
