4Runner4Leon According to this survey, of those who installed the 231 calipers, most did not experience this issue. Toyota 4Runner Forum - Largest 4Runner Forum - View Poll Results gamefreakgc That intuitively makes sense. More braking "power" = less likely for ABS to kick in. I'm not...

Just read about the ABS malfunctions, so I'm thinking twice now.

No I haven't, I'll take a look at that list. Thanks for the tip!

gamefreakgc I have these rims. I believe they're from a FJ cruiser (previous owner put them on).

I'm planning to do the TBU on my '99 SR5 with 16" rims. Is this kit compatible? I wanted to buy off eBay since they have 15% today :becky...

Update: I tried some of the recommendations from 19963.4lsr5 and spartacus and it still didn't start. After spending two weeks troubleshooting it, I finally decided to have it towed to a good local mechanic. After many hours of investigation, they found this device under the steering column...

spartacus thanks for the steps. Luckily ignition wasn't on. To confirm, here's what I'm doing: 1st test: Connect red jumper to battery (+) terminal. Carefully touch other end of red jumper to starter (+) terminal. What position should the key be in? Isn't this the same as the current config...

Update: I realized the clicking happens when the key is in "on", not "start". Sounds like it's the relays opening/closing. Nothing happens when turned to start. No clicking, no sounds. spartacus, how do I test the AM1 40A fuse? I'm not sure how to remove it and it doesn't have exposed...

Forgot to tag IBallEngineer as a big help in the above thread as well.

You know what, I just thought of something else whilst reading your post and this thread (http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/91825-please-help-me-loss-all-accessory-power-engine-dont-turn-over-my-4runner-2.html) that TheDurk was on. Right before the car wouldn't start, I disconnected...

Also, thanks for correcting me on the starter ground! That makes a lot more sense.

I checked all the fuses already, I forgot to mention that. They all have continuity so they're good. I'll give these a shot tomorrow. Thanks.

Not sure what you mean. Can you elaborate? Just tried jumping the negative battery terminal to the engine block, no luck. Granted my valve cover gaskets are seeping a little but I still found a few spots with pretty solid connections.

I'm slightly stumped. I bought a 99 3.4L V6 auto from a forum member a few weeks ago, it started and drove well, then last Sunday the car suddenly wouldn't start. Dash lights turn on, but when I turn the key I hear 3 distinct clicks coming from the starter area. Here's what I've tried (in order)...

Thanks for the input, Trojan4x4. How do you recommend checking the diff + trans fluids? And should I be checking for qty, color, viscosity, smell, all the above?
