Hi all, Hope you alignment and control arm experts can help! Replaced LCA bushings with whiteline and a bunch of other parts and my caster is terrible. 1.5" lift with Bilstein 5100 and OME springs. Replaced LCA bushings using Timmy Toolman heat and bottle jack method. Also replaced rack...

In the end you were right and the actuator turned out to be the problem. Even though transfer indicator switches both tested bad over the last year, replacing them didn't fix the issue. I carefully pulled off the actuator cover and sure enough there was some water and corrosion: As you...

The only thing I can find that even resembles an indicator switch location is this plug on the fork assembly. There's nothing else on the actuator and fork assembly other than the 6-pin connector and a breather hose. All the 01/02 photos I've found online w/ electric actuator don't seem to...

Hi all, Trying to diagnose 4wd issues and I can't for the life of me find the A.D.D position indicator switch to test it. My '01 has the electronic A.D.D. actuator and I've looked all over the place for the indicator switch. I'm starting to believe I don't have one, is that possible with the...

Since my 4WD was still working I didn't prioritize fixing my center diff lock issue over the last 6 months, but now my predicament has worsened. Now I can't go from 2WD -> 4WD at all. I click the 4WD button on the TC shifter and I don't hear any sounds on the TC or ADD actuators, 4WD indicator...

I have not checked the front ADD position switch. Does the '01 electric actuated ADD have one? I made a video of the actuator sounds when 4WD and Center Diff Lock buttons are pressed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpLPIrMVYYc In summary: Pressing 4WD button on TC shifter, I hear at least...

Unfortunately replacing Transfer Indicator NO. 1 didn't seem to make any difference. I got excited because it tested bad (no resistance), so thought for sure this was the culprit. Transfer Indicator NO. 2 tests okay. I've been studying the transfer case diagrams in the TSM and it looks like...

Thanks for your help. Finally got back to this. With the lights blinking and car on jack stands the front and rear drive shafts are locked, they turn together. Front differential is also engaged, front wheels turn. I pulled the two transfer case switches that are easy to access on the...

So if I go from 2WD to 4WD by pressing 4WD button on transfer case shifter my lights go into blinky mode, I believe it's all 4 green and center orange continue blinking. I can also tell from heavy steering that the center diff is locked. If I then press the center diff lock button on the dash...

Revisiting this issue as my 4Runner is still suck with center diff lock on when I shift into 4WD. I'm trying to identify the part numbers for these transfer case switches so that I can just replace them. The linked youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1ZbLxFTrH4) replaced the two...

My 3rd gen center diff lock appears to be stuck on/engaged, I can't seem to switch it off. I was in 4HI in the snow/gravel with 4 green lights, pressed the center diff lock button and after 4 green lights and center orange light blinking for 10 seconds or so they all went solid. Upon exiting...

Thanks! Bummer, with the dedicated antenna control wire on yours I would have assumed it would just work!

Looks nice! Is that a 3" lift? Do you get rubbing and did you have to do any trimming?

Yes, plugged directly into the USB cable on the back of the unit, so it charges the phone and connects the CarPlay (and Android auto I assume). I preferred that over having a cable dangling around in the glove or center console. I chose 1 of the 2 power accessories instead of the cigarette...

Awesome! This gives me hope, was wondering if I should stop doing upgrades at 220K but I guess I should keep on going! I have an '01 Sport with 220K, replaced O2 sensor and rear axle seals/bearings. Otherwise no problems.
