Yes, I had bent one of the metal prongs when I reconnected the switch. I was able to carefully straighten it back out and get the switch working again.

Hi all, my 2004 4Runner Sport V6 has started displaying numerous codes. Over the past two weeks the codes are: p2441, 1201, p0430 and p2238 Each time the check engine light comes on the engine runs a little rough for a few seconds. This always happens when the engine is warm. Twice is has...

BlackWorksInc, Thanks for the advice. I will try the suggestions in the first paragraph first thing tomorrow. The other options are over my head, but I can research them if the first suggestions do not work. Thanks again.

Hi all, I recently removed the radio on my 2004 Sport Edition v6. To do so I had to disconnect the connector to the 4WD selector. I must not have had it completed connected as the next day when my wife drove it the 4WD came on. The selector switch is not responding now. So I disconnected...

I found the PDF at the link below showing fuse #18, under the hood, controls the Radio only. I will try to disconnect that and see if it kills the noise instead of using fuse 44 which turns off a bunch of other systems...

I found this technical service bulletin from Toyota that sounds just like the problem I am having. It is for a 2003 model, but the problem is the same. http://http://www.toyotapart.com/JBL_AUDIO_SYSTEM_STATIC_NOISE_T-AU03-003.pdf Does anyone know if the amplifier has its own fuse? If so, then...

UPDATE: The static noise has now returned after about 5 weeks of everything working correctly. So I removed the radio today. Once I had everything back together I put the AUX fuse back in and the static pulsing noise is still there as soon as I turn the key to Auxiliary position. The pattern of...

Thanks for all the replies. Those are all good thoughts. The pins that run through the caliper and pads are in place. The small clips that keeps the pads away from the disc when not engaged are also in place. I do not recall there being any type of slider clips on the caliper itself. I will...

Hi all, I recently replaced the front brake calipers, disc and pads on my 2004 Sport 4WD. The calipers are rebuilt ones from Autozone. Everything was fine for about 4 months. At that point I started noticing a "clanging" noise of sorts every time I touched the brakes pedal. After some poking...

I believe I have actually solved the problem I was having. I opened up the dashboard to remove the stereo and take it to a local shop to have it diagnosed for problems. During the process I replaced the burned out bulbs in the center display for the AC/Heater, outside temp etc. They had been...

I haven't done that yet. I'm not really familiar with how to remove it. I'll need to do some research. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the offer. I will keep it in mind.

Hi all, I have a 2004 Sport Edition 4WD 4Runner with the V6. For about 3 years now the JBL Toyota Stereo 56836 has worked intermittently. At times there is no sound at all. Other times there is a ton of static over the music that garbles the sound. At other times, when the stereo is off, the...

Hi all, My 2004 4Runner V6 blew the head gasket at 238,000. I am from San Diego and took it to the Truck Shop and got an estimate from James. They had just done another truck the previous week and the bill was $2800. I know they have a great reputation, but I just don't have those funds. My...
