I had that problem with 2006 XLS. I got one from the Solara around the same year and that fixed it. Not to mention much cheaper. But my car had the keys. It was not keyless push button start.

When I check on ebay it says not compatible with solara,camry. I wonder if it is the fob is not compatible, in that case I can get a toyota Camry receiver door control for camry and new fobs. My local Toytoa quoted a price fot the 89741-AC070 of almost $900.00.

 

The fob is the same. The connector is the same. I had zero issues putting it in. It was the 04-08 Solara. I had to a bit of homework. It’s a pain to find an inexpensive replacement for the Avalon. You can check online with scrapyards or pick and pull places. That’s the only advice I’d be able to offer. I got my door unit for less than 20 from eBay. So it was an inexpensive gamble for me.

Do you remember the part number on the bracket?
Thanks

If I’m not mistaken it’s
89741-AA030.

Ebay search led no where.

 

Terry1996 is right, The AC070 suffix only refers to the attachment bracket, not the receiver box, but Toyota sells it as a unit. The receiver box has one circuit board that probably couldn't cost more than $25 to manufacturer. Why they jack the price so high is beyond me. The different Toyota's have different attachment brackets that attach to the receiver unit and that is the 89741-AC070 number. No way Toyota was going to have to stock individual door receivers for each car. Terry1996 research showed that the Solara 04-08 receiver is the same as the Avalon 2005-2007 that has a key start ignition. For all we know there may be other receivers that would work too. Search eBay for the Solara receiver and give it a try with the instructions on reprogramming. If you search around this forum there are instructions on how to access the receiver behind the rear seat.

 

Has anyone found compatible replacements for the Avalon? Or is there a simple way to repair the old board it does not seem complicated or broken?

 

Are you sure it is the receiver part that is broken and not something else?

 

I found mine on eBay. It was listed as 04-08 Solara. I think you can find the Solara or Avalon on eBay for around $200 now. Price has increased as I'm guessing supply has diminished. And yes, it fixed my problem.

 

Does anyone know where this control board is installed in the Avalon?

 

Behind panel on C pillar, passenger side if I remember correctly

 

 

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

 

I'm also trying to replace the keyless entry receiver in my 2007 Avalon. The location shown in the diagram above is a panel that seems quite well attached, with no obvious way to remove it. I've tried prying lightly around the edges, but I'm afraid I'll break something. Does anyone know, do I just need to pry harder? Or is this not the right location? Thanks greatly for any help! Very best, Nancy

Both remote key fobs stopped working on 2005 Avalon

Both key fobs for opening doors on my 2005 Avalon stopped working at the same time. Trunk lid opener and alarm also do not work. Replaced the battery on one--still doesn't work. Tried to reprogram key fobs following instructions printed on several websites, including this one. The car does...

Thanks for this exceedingly helpful tip which showed me how to move forward!!!

 

Progress! I've located the receiver by prying at the panel until a couple of attachment points released. I can now see the receiver, but that pesky panel refuses to release further. Do I need to remove the seat or rear shelf in order to remove the paneL? What kind of attachment is holding it in place?
Thanks again for any help!
