1999 rear window and lock troubles.
hey guys.
i can unlock the drivers door and the other doors and hatch by turning the drivers lock clockwise, but i cannot relock by turning CCW. i can relock the pass. door and all doors by using the pass side door lock, but cannot unlock any of them. i can relock the rear hatch by using the hatch key hole, but i cannot roll the window up or down. all of the key holes only turn CW. is this normal?also, all the windows/locks/wipers/defrosters work from inside the cab. what can i do?

$4 for a brand new cut and programmed transponder key...really?? I went in there and they told me $120 for a new key...I laughed and walked away. Someone else I know on the east coast actually got quoted $150...or $120 just to program if he brought a new, cut transponder key in. I guess some of you have dealers that don't ask you to bend over and grab your ankles as soon as you walk in the door.

(Obviously you have to have a master key (that can turn in the ignition) to program a new blank...otherwise Toyota probably is the only place to have a new one programmed)

not really true about that price. when i bought my 99, the PO only had 1 key and 1 remote. i thought no biggie, i went to at least 4 places to have a spare key cut, NONE of then worked, couldn't turn either door locks or ignition. so i went to the closest dealership, Longo Toyota in El Monte to be exact, here is what i was quoted: $18 for the blank, $28 labor for cutting it. $137 for the remote, $56 labor for programming it. talking about rip off.
yes, at least for the 99 i have, it's very picky about the replacement keys. i took my chances bought the key blank itself, had it cut at a local Ace store for $2, it worked, sort of.... the key will open the 4 doors, but not the tail gate. it can start the engine, but only one way, if insert the key in other way, it won't turn the ignition.
later on, i bought a replacement remote from a shop in Whittier for $30 programed at sight, brand new.
