    Lo light blinking, Actually in Lo Gear (can tell from experience of being in low), locker won't engage and ATRAC won't come on....

    Turned out to be this... Time for some Silly Cone and solder!!!

    I think taking that sucker out, solder and silly cone may be a bit easier... certainly not as good as your solution but about 40 hours easier! :)

    two part glue (3m) its been known that silicone atracts water and breaks down ..... they used to use silicone on 60's an older car windsheilds ,thus rust from atraction of water and break down of product... now they use urathane based for glass....... electrical and silicone ????? , look for a urathane based two part epoxy 3m .... I been a body and frame tech for 23 yrs .... (or just get a new pigtail from toyoyta ) ... good luck my friend ...... silicone will work but it breaks down .........

    Yes water can not penatrate the silicone but it breaks down and yes it attracts water .........after breakdown , no worky worky !!!! and are you going to check it every few months or just use the right stuff ???? good luck WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO !!!!! :D
