Mike (Down2theC) was GOING to work on a new circuit for these controls (and windows) a couple summers ago but ever since he got his damn espresso machine, he gave up on that project! :evil:

Guess we'll have to find someone else to beg to figure that one out...

Try searching through the tutorial section (this section) for posts from Down2theC... he has removed the speed limiter, and I thought he did one touch, but can't remember.

He'd be the one to have done it though...


Still haven't done the one-touch yet. I have the gear to get it done, and I wrote the code, but I need to spend some hours messing with wires and whatnot.

Easiest way to get at your fogs is to undo the scres under the front bumper and remove the platic panels that go under the engine, you'll be right there next to the fogs, and these things come out really easy.

The button set-up is twice as wide so getting it from a salvaged Solara may not work. tCs have auto windows on both sides so maybe you can get parts from them and make it work.

request a diy to take out the headlights.
I just bought new headlights but dont know how to replace them.
I took out all the screws on top, but when i try to pull it out, it feels like it's still caught.

You have to pull the bumper off to expose one screw on the bottom side of the headlight that needs to be removed. To pull the bumper take out the screws on the top then the two screws in each wheel well, then the rest of the screws along the bottom.

=( can you get to the screw through the wheel well? or is it towards the middle of the car?

im feeling like i should have researched this before i bought the headlights, looks like a lot more work than i thought......
