2000 toyota tundra ignition switch problems. I have a 2000 toyota tundra that will not engage when I turn the key. Clean the connections and see if that elininates the trouble. A bad ignition switch can cause your Tacoma not to start at all.
I found out this was part of the anti theft system on the truck. Just be prepared to prove ownership to Toyota in some way. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Toyota Tundra based on all problems reported for the Tundra.
And it can keep your Tacoma from starting in a couple of different ways. Slide the cylinder into the lock housing until the stop tab engages the hole in the lock. Draw in RED the B current path from the STOP LIGHT SWITCH.
The way it starts makes me think it is a bad connection or corroded wire. The Tundras ignition lock cylinder itself can go bad over time. Inside the ignition switch several contacts connect vital electrical systems needed to start and run the car.
Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2006 Toyota Tundra based on all problems reported for the 2006 Tundra. The key slides in and out easily but will not turn past the ACC setting. The first is when the starter cranks but the bad ignition switch doesnt turn on the fuel pump or ignition.
Replacing them can be tricky. The second way is when the starter doesnt turn at all. The battery went dead on my 2000 tundra.
