smithn05 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Sounds like block matrix to me, loads of threads on here for it. If its only just started doing it, its possible you might be able to clean it through with some of the drain cleaning acid stuff you get a B&Q but be careful its nasty stuff. As for the lights on the temp control, Im assuming you mean the backlighting at night, as the temp control doesnt have any leds. Thats a simple replacement bulb issue (although Toyota want to charge a fortune for the lil blighters), there is a thread on here somewhere with a link to a web site that sells them although I cant find the it, maybe someone else knows it.

carl0s Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 If the heater controls are not working then it's unlikely to be a blocked matrix. First thing I would do is get the heater controls out, take it apart and re-melt the solder. It's easy enough to do, not much chance of anything going wrong.

Fifty Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 :d try bleeding air out of your coolant - assuming you eliminate the possible electrical problem work safely warm up car with rad cap off rev gently and carefully and you should see air bubble out - fill her up and see if it now works worked for me and no problems since Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
