Phaeton :: What Is The Function Of Button In Sunroof Dial
I have quick question that probably has an equally quick answer. When I press up on one end of the sunroof control dial, it makes a click. I can only push it up when the dial is in the 'roof closed' position. I've read somewhere that this 'button' should do something, but when I press it nothing happens. Do pushing up the sunroof control dial is supposed to do anything?
View 11 RepliesPhaeton :: Cooling Function Not Working On Seats?
I'm curious whether something is wrong with the cooling function on my seats. While a +3 on the control seems to heat the entire seat rapidly and at a high temp, a -3 only gives me a moderate airflow out of the area under my thighs. Is the air supposed to flow out of the entire perforated region of the leather (upper back and inner-side sections) or is what I am experiencing normal?
Was thinking maybe I need to replace a component to get a stronger airflow out of the seat.

Is there anything I can do to have the rear doors unlock using the keyless entry function? I can only unlock the driver door as of now. Once that is open, I still need to use the unlock button on the keyfolb to unlock the rear door.
The keyless entry function does lock the doors when the small black button is pushed on the rear doors?
Avalon 2005-12 :: AC Didn't Work In Auto Function
When AC is on "Auto" the fan runs at slowest speed unless outside temp is over 100 degrees or setting is below 64 degrees. With setting left at 70 or 71 degrees, and outside temp is 80 or higher, cabin temp will slowly rise when driving in traffic and will slowly fall at speeds over 60, but not reach set temp until driving over an hour plus.
If fan is manually adjusted to higher speed, "Auto" system shuts off and AC becomes totally manual control. If the "Auto" button is touched, fan goes off again and the system will not do any of the automatic functions spelled out in manual.
Two different dealers have advised that ALL 2014 Avalons are like this and so it is considered "normal" regardless of what manual says and they and Toyota Customer Service refuse to do anything about it. What is the experience of other 2014 owners.
Phaeton :: Easy Entry Function, Cause The Steering Wheel To Move Up And Down?
Does the 'easy entry' function on your Phaeton only cause the steering wheel to move up and down, or, does it cause the steering wheel to move up and down and the driver seat to slide back and forward? My understanding is that both actions should take place - wheel up and seat back (or vice-versa), but I can only ever recall seeing the steering wheel of my car move up.

View 17 RepliesCamry :: 2004 SE Doors Will Unlock But Lock Function Does Not Work From Any Source
Got an 04 Camry SE that will not lock the doors. I can unlock the doors from the switches inside the car, drivers and passenger side doors, and also with the fob. The LOCK function does not work from any source, door switches or fob. The problem relates to all 4 doors. I've been having to manually lock the doors when I park the car. I've read people having issues in hot weather and also when it's wet, but my problem is all the time. Hot, cold, wet, dry it doesn't matter. Also I don't hear any noises when trying to lock the doors telling me that it's even trying to lock.
View 1 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Multi-Function Display Is Starting To Work Intermittently
I have a 2004 Prius with 108,000 miles on it. The MFD is starting to spaz out and work intermittently. It just started to stop working, would be listening to some music and all the sudden would die, no temp, no climate control, no avg mpg, no miles driven, no battery info, the base screen would be there without any data. So its sometimes there when I start the car and sometimes not, sometimes it dies and others it cames back. I called my local Toyota dealer they suggested I needed to replace the Multi-Function-Display with a refurb. I am wondering if there might even be a way to fix the glitch in my current unit...

How the seatback comes off of the 3rd row seat on an '02? There is a spring or something protruding from the seatback on the right side towards the bottom. I'm afraid it's going to stretch or poke a hole in the leather. I think if I can get the back cover thing off I can reach up under and fix it. I don't know if it's a spring our of place or what.
View 2 RepliesFord Super Duty (1999-2016) :: How To Keep CC Seat Belts From Sliding Between Seatback
See my sig for truck.
I have 3 kids in the crewcab. 2 are in booster seats, and 1 still riding in a Britax. The 2 in booster seats can buckle their own seat belts in the wife's Odyssey. But they cannot buckle their own in the truck because as they try to push the 2 pieces together, the short 'female' end slides down between the seat and seatback. So I have to buckle them. Every time.
Anything to prevent the female end from sliding down? I'm thinking maybe putting a ~4" long 1-2" diameter piece of tubing around the belts. Something like that.
Phaeton :: AC Recirculation Does Not Work
So after driving my new phaeton for 3 months i realized that my AC re-circulation does not work. When i press the re-circle button , it shows up in the screen. but i don't hear the sounds of the fan any different from deactivating the re-circle. i can smell the bad air from outside even though re-circle is activated.
I believe that the re-circle should function like in other cars. more strong air flow and more colder. Just wondering if it's just the switch that needs to be changed or if there is a valve/door under the dash that I need to look into.

View 5 RepliesPhaeton :: 2004 W12 Trunk Doesn't Work
I am facing a discouraging situation here w/ my Phaeton: the trunk does not work, the mechanic called it quits and VW Dealership wants $32k and 3-6months in order to replace the car's electrical harness.
So here are some details regarding the problem:
1. It started by not opening the trunk when using the door switch. only the remote key.
2. Then, it wouldn't lock the trunk (it would open all the way and close)
3. After a few more days, it wouldn't open/close the trunk or lock it. (it would work once in a while, and sometimes the trunk would open/close just half way)
4. As or right now, the trunk opens and closes most of the time, but it doesn't lock.
I replaced the trunk hatch(lock), the hydraulic pump that opens and closes it, new battery and fuses. The mechanic worked on it on several occasions doing all the replacements and calibration, computer reset and all that.
I'm guessing it might be an electrical problem, a loose contact or interrupted wire given the nature of the problem (intermittent operation). But I don't know where to start looking...
Phaeton :: Power Trunk Refused To Work
Basically, my power trunk (boot lid) refused to work this morning and continues to do so.
The key fob unlocks/locks the doors just fine, but the trunk button doesn't make anything happen at all. No noise or movement......nothing.
The dashboard display is showing the trunk is open, and the locking mech on the lid is fixed in the lock position i.e., it isn't retracted.
What this could be? Wiring springs to mind as the fabric covering on the loom that passes from bodyshell to lid is already frayed so it's definitely seen some use.
