Hard to say without looking at your specific harness, but I would just leave them in. The factory relay is for controlling power to the seats. Some aftermarket seat heaters use relays to control how the heating elements are controlled.

I just did mine. Get the seal. Also note the trick for using the dust cap to seat the seal. I did a little thread on my experience here. This is an easy job. I just used a 1/2 breaker bar and ordered the 35mm socket from Amazon. I also bought the hub from nj636

Do not use metal caps unless you want to replace your tire pressure sensors. If you get any salt slush in there they fuse and will bust off the valve stem. Ask me how I know (and installed the TPMS bypass found on the forum). I suppose if you use anti-seize, and pb blaster before you try to...

I think I paid less than the price the guy is asking for the side view mirrors for a new Toyota OEM heated one when I replaced one from partznet recently.

2004 12/2003 150,800 miles #6 Just started. All the initial signs are there: P0306, miss on startup (intermittently, seldom and seems to be affected by outside temp) for just a second and most recently on one occasion the gurgle, waterfall type sound described by fdbyrne. Despite that, I...

No. I didn't find that it was in the way or a problem at all. I was aware of it and therefore careful but it seemed pretty hardy.

Right at 150K, I started getting some noise that sounded like tire noise. I suspected that it was a wheel bearing since I hadn't changed the tires. I jacked up the 4Runner and the left front wheel moved. Felt like the lugs were loose but they were tight. So I started searching for the best way...

Either 90987-02025 or 90987-02016 will work. I think the 02016 is the original part number. Ebay is the cheapest place to get them.

Glad to hear it. That was a tricky one.

Read carefully. You're about to short something out. To answer your specific question, you cut the green wire from the backside of the IC4 connector and splice that into the hot wire(likely a red wire) for your seat heaters. Remove any inline fuses that came with your seat heaters, mine was...

No adjustment required and I've never been flashed. If you live in the city and want to save a couple of bucks, you could ignore the high beams. I did mine but almost never use them (but they are bright when I do).

When you are checking the blue wire for power, are you using a multi-meter? Check it to chassis ground, find a bolt somewhere and see if it still shows power. The problem is that there may be voltage but no current. It could be a problem with the TR7, and high resistance. It would show voltage...

If the blue is always hot yes but I would double check the programming one more time. I remember it being tricky to get right. They may have also changed the firmware in it so read the directions in case the programming steps have changed. Also make sure you are doing the programming using the...

I bought mine from here when I did the install. Lots of good information on the ever improving design of the HIR bulbs. Incidentally, the ones I installed in 2010 are still going strong with great light output. Philips HIR1(9011) & HIR2(9012) -- ON SALE NOW!!!

The blue while should not always be hot. I'd break it down in to different testing parts. First, roll the down the window, grab 12v somewhere (besides the pac7) and put it to 86 on the relay. Does the window go up? If not, you have relay (or relay wiring issues). If that works then you have...
