Questions & Answers

Ex-One was just working, now it doesn't, and won't program.

Bought a 2015 Tacoma where the Ex-one didn't work. I diagnosed as a split wire, repaired the wire, programmed the fobs, and got it to work. On and Off, Door Lock and everything worked. Then I unplugged it to run it through my dash, and once everything was back together, now nothing works. I can't even press the valet/programming button to enter programming mode. When I turn the key in the ignition, the yellow light comes on, but that's it. I have tried touching a paperclip to both valet switch terminals to check if it's the button that is malfunctioning but the red light still never goes on.

What would cause the whole box to suddenly stop working??

Again, I try to press the valet button, and the red light never comes on to progress through programming mode. Is there a button combination on the fobs? Or a factory reset on the receiver that I can push with a pin? Have I accidentally put it into "valet mode" with a button combination?

I do not have the manual because I bought the truck used, and there is no support on this website, and the Fortin troubleshooting app seems to be an incomplete app, where most buttons don't work, and on one screen where it asks me to choose a diagram, the only options are "yes" and "no"...

Hello,

 

"What would cause the whole box to suddenly stop working??"

 

- I would go back over your wire harness routing, the only variable from it working to not working was, "Then I unplugged it to run it through my dash, and once everything was back together, now nothing works."

 

Installation guides can be found on the fortin website: https://fortin.ca/en/vehicles/toyota/tacoma/2015-g-key/compatibility/

 

This would be the guide for your module using the t-harness: https://fortin.ca/download/78271/EVO-ONE_IG_THR_BI_TOY2-TACOMA_GKEY_2010-2015_A_78271.pdf

 

Best regards.
