    Alternator B+ Cable Meltdown

    Absolutely. When ever I came to a stop the battery light on the dash would flicker rapidly rather than a constant on. Almost sure that was the arcing going on as it would ground then short very quickly probably due to the vibration of the engine ( I think).

    Alternator B+ Cable Meltdown

    Per your suggestion, I threw a DVOM on the battery under load and it was well within the recommended voltage range. Also because of the insulation damage to the pos terminal cable hanging off the battery harness I re-wrapped it after making sure no damage was done to the actual wires inside...

    HELP! stuck in park!

    You might also want to verify that your trailer wiring harness is compatible with that on your 4Runner.

    What's up with my alarm sytem

    No Problem. Glad I could help. To answer the lock button question, It behaves exactly as if you locked it with the key. In other words it has no direct affect on the alarm system itself other than after the door is unlocked and opened (with a key or lock button) the alarm is going to sound...

    What's up with my alarm sytem

    All's Well. Rest assured Recoil. I have the exact same year, make and model Toy as well the same alarm system and key fob and I'll tell you it's normal for the alarm to sound off under that condition. However let me clarify. If you previously had set the alarm with the "REMOTE" and then...
