    Yeah i called my credit company. they've already credited the money back on my card. i didnt wanna go too deep into it cause i figured it wouldn't be interesting to people since it didn't have to do with the issue. thanks for the good advice. i was really bummed at first but then i figured i would see if the credit company could do something and they did, so im not bummed now. i definitely would not recommend ToyotaPartsDeal to anyone. they told me they couldn't give me a refund since the part i bought wasn't compatible with my car. i told them their website brought the part up when i put in the year make and model but they wouldn't make it right.

    That's good!
    The Toyota Dealership in Sarasota have been very good to me.
    I get the 10% veterans discount and they've always worked with me to find the
    parts I've needed. The one in Vero Beach has also been good.

    Now the new/used cars sales people, they just suck! Which is likely the same for all dealerships
    for all brands....

    Do you think its safe to bleed the brakes manually (without a scan tool) or bleed the brakes with a scanner tool under "regular brake bleeding" instead of the brake bleeding procedure "after replacing actuator" cause i cant do the brake bleeding "after replacing actuator" cause of C1451. i got a new actuator assembly brand new from toyota today but the code c1451 is still poppling up. i guess im just trying to figure out the best way to clear that code.

    Is it safe to drive? If so, consider having dealership do the bleed? Doesn't hurt to phone them, explain where you're at, get a quote.
    See I've asked this before (post #14). Did you try that, too expensive?

    That sounds a bit backwards, because completing the "after replacing actuator" bleed is the only way C1451 goes away.

    If you can't get through that bleeding procedure (for some other reason), then it seems you're going to be stuck with C1451, which locks out the pressure pump from operating, and you will be stuck with nothing but the last level of fail-safe front-wheels-only braking.

    I would concentrate on solving whatever really is preventing the full bleed from completing, and get through that process so the C1451 goes away.
