No to rain on the wireless charging parade, but I don't use or recommend wireless charging due to its inefficiency based on what's I've read here and elsewhere: Wireless Charging Is a Disaster Waiting to Happen
Qi Wireless Charger Not Working
I've had the Qi WIreless Charger turned off for a while. Tried to turn it on today and the button didn't seem responsive. Has anyone else had a problem with the Qi Wireless Charger? Does anyone know which of the fuse boxes had the fuse for the Qi charger? I've looked through the manuals and couldn't find anything.
At my age crawling around under the dash to try to see what's in the under-dash fuse box is almost an impossible job. I haven't looked in the fuse box in the engine compartment yet because it has been very wet rainy and wet outside.
Thanks

Does the Qi switch light up when pressed? Does the switch spring feel effective ? Have you added any newer accessories? Testing the inside fuse panel. Fuse # 3. 5 amp. ECU -ACC would be my first guessed, on my Gen 4. The Gen 5 could or should be similar?

-The Qi switch no longer lights up when pressed.
-The switch spring doesn't have much feel to it.
-My Limited model only seems to have the fuse box in the engine compartment. I can't find anything under the driver's side dash that looks like what is shown on page 410 of the user's manual.
-None of the fuses in the engine compartment appeared to be blown.
I need to pull the car out of the garage and into the warm sunshine to check things better, but I can stand to be without the Qi charger. It was kind of handy to use, but not a big necessity.
OK...I went out and pulled the Avalon out of the garage and into the sunshine. There definitely doesn't seem to be an under dash fuse box. I closely checked the fuses in the engine compartment and couldn't even find one that was marked for ACC. I was going to bring the fuse box cover inside and list all the markings for the various fuses, but decided to try one more thing first.
I took a very small thin bladed pen knife and used it to move and push the switch away from the side of its access hole. I thought maybe the switch had gotten hung up under the setting hole or caught somehow on the sides of the hole. It didn't feel like I was having any luck moving it around, but when I next tried the ignition in the accessory and run positions the green light on the switch was on. So all is working for now. I guess I'll just leave it in the on position.

The Gen 4 is the same No wireless charging in the off position.
I have a 2020 Avalon Limited & the wireless phone charger is not turning on. The On/Off push button has practically no up/down movement and the indicator light does not light. I tried turning it on with the car start button in the accessory & on modes. Stuck all around the push button there is some kind of crud like cookie or cracker crumbs. I will try to remove the crud with a toothbrush to see if the button will loosen up & function. I have like 15 days remaining on the Toyota OEM 36,000 mi warranty. Can I possibly have a Toyota dealership check & repair the wireless charger? Does the charger light only come on when you place a phone on the pad? Or should the charger light illuminate when you press the on/off button with out a phone resting on the wireless charger pad? The owner manual does not specify. Thanks
I also read in the Toyota owner manual that if a car door is open the wireless charger will not turn on.

With the ignition on, when you push the on/off button and there is no phone sitting on the charger you should get a green light when the switch is in the on position.
The charger on/off button has junk surrounding it & it feels like it’s stuck when you press form on it. And as you try to press it down, it doesn’t seem like it’s doing anything. There is no click and the power indicator light does not turn on.
Thanks for your help!

I called Toyota service and made an appointment to bring the car in to check/repair the no power phone wireless charge issue. Maybe there is a fuse somewhere that cut off power?
or the charger is broken/defective?
Thanks guys!

Your switch seems to be exhibiting the same symptoms that mine had. I couldn't see well enough to tell if there was "crud" all around it, but it wouldn't surprise me.I called Toyota service and made an appointment to bring the car in to check/repair the no power phone wireless charge issue.

Since mine was almost two years out of warranty I went ahead and used a small pen knife with very thin small blade and gently pried around the perimeter of the switch. That seemed to loosen up the switch enough for it to come on. When it came on I decided to leave it on and never turn it of again.
It will be interesting to see what the service department finds wrong with yours. I never did find which fuse goes to the QI charger.
Does anyone know if there are there any consequences to leave the QI charger on and never turn it of again?
Sounds like if the switch was located on the side versus bottom, it would not get dirty therefore not get stuck.
