Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [continued 3]

[dr. d]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend where I can get my headrests fixed? The pair in the middle row does not extend anymore. Can it just be replaced by any other headrest, or is there a mechanism that should be repaired by Toyota? Help!

Thanks!

brute force it, sir. but be aware of where the release button is. it has to be pressed. use wd40 to loosen...
unless the ones you have are "not the right ones", there's no reason why they shouldn't be raise-able.

can anyone confirm if the chassis of the 2006-2015 innova are the same? do they have common mounting points for a tow hitch receiver?

Sir/s, We have an Innova 2017 2.8 G, nagpalit ako ng LED bulds (T20 - Umber) sa mga signal light. I was surprise na hindi pa rin kayang accommodate nya mga LEDs (nag Hyper-flashing siya.) So I need to replace yuong flasher. Ano ba itsura ng flasher ng bagong innova, saan banda sa likod ng dashboard makikita? kaya bang makapa at palitan without removing yuong dashboard? Three (3) pins pa rin ba ang packaging ng flasher relay nya or same ng pinost ni sir Philip?

Mas maliit kasi kain ng koryente ng mga LED kaya kala ng sensors pundido yung bulb.

Under the dashboard, nagiisa bandang taas ng brake pedal I think. Hiwalay sya sa fuse/relay box.

Kailangan mong humiga sa driver-side footwell para makita at maabot.

when i brought my old innova to banawe, the guy pulled off the plastic panel under the steering wheel column.. it made inspection so much easier.

I managed to pull up my old pics. Thank you Google Photos.

It's really a PITA to get to it. It's way up deep under and up the dash and I had to crawl under the driver-side footwell to get to it.

When I installed the aftermarket flasher, I just left the OEM flasher where it is, still attached. I simply transferred the wire harness to the new flasher.

Pictures taken before the mod. The OEM flasher is the brown thing I've circled yellow. I also named a few of the parts around it to give you some orientation. The camera is practically pointing up from behind the brake pedal, so keep that in mind.

i had the same spine-crunching experience with my altis's flasher.
is toyota intentionally making its wear-and-tear maintenance, user-unfriendly?
in the olden days, the aluminum flasher was easily reach-able, being held against the wall or bulkhead via a simple push-in-pull-out holder...

If I were to put logic on its placement, I would think that Toyota designed it in such a way so that the indicator 'clicking' you hear when you activate it, would appear to come from behind the gauge cluster instead of the floor. It's clipped-on directly to the car's metal body so I think this is so that it makes the clicking more pronounced and conspicuous. Maybe it reduces the chances of people leaving their blinkers on indefinitely?

well, the blinking instrument cluster lights is warning enough to most, i feel.

but napuna nyo... the flasher is so much more robust now than yesteryear.. my altis's flasher gave up the ghost only after 14 years. my innova's, not yet after 12 years..
