Temp/Compass 510 Resistor

[gfiero]

My overhead Temp Compass Console died a couple of days ago, for about an hour I heard a tiny rattle. This afternoon when I pulled it out to resolder the 510 resistor (The historical culprit) I found one missing. That was the tiny rattle.... so to make th repair I need a new one.

Toyota is of not help, they just want to sell me the whole unit for $900.00.

I feel so used.........

Thanks

DON'T BUY ONE FROM THE DEALER!
It's a common problem. I found some excellent info on the subject via Google when mine failed.

Here's one from TRDParts4U (http://www.toyotapartsales.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getJointLocator&siteid=214074&chapter=&Sectionids=0,6551&groupid=2706&subgroupid=20229&componentid=75597&make=34&model=Tacoma&year=2005&graphicID=8512450&callout=7&catalogid=2&displayCatalogid=0) for $106.42.

You have no place to purchase a 510 resistor, a Fry's perhaps?

What year is your truck ?

There is a TSB for that.

Common problem on these newer tacos but you dont need the whole overhead console. Your dealer needs to do their homework.
83290-04030-$147.50 list.

I repaired mine twice and then hit them up for a new one under warranty (replaced at 60,000 or so on a 100K warranty).

No issues since.

Thanks for the info and ammunition, I will be speaking to the dealer this afternoon.:sombrero:

I purchased some 510 resistors (25 to a pack) and did the work, it works fine... Cost $1.99 for the resistors, $106.95 for the module and $900.00 for the whole console. Toyota dealers her in L.A. would only quote me the console. Greed run amok!

Any way I have 23 1/4 w 51 ohm resistors left, any one needs a couple send me a pm.

Anyone who gets that run about parts prices and availability from dealers in the future should contact Jacque at Toyota of Dallas (TRDparts4U dot com), they will not play games with you.

My overhead went out this morning, too. I'll resolder it back when I can borrow the iron and solder from a buddy of mine.

I forgot to mention, I re-soldered mine last week, all is well now. :)
