Got mine at the Toyota dealer when I was a mechanic there. Guy ended up trading in for something newer. Very well kept ~150,000 when bought. ~215,000 now. Fresh bushings, plugs, wires, timing belt, water pump, pulleys, fluids seals. Runs great!

Ideally one would like to have a DVOM handy. Or in the very least a test light. You could then test to make sure you are getting power to the switch itself, and if so, see if that power is making it's way through the switch and on toward the back in the rest of the circuit. I've seen some...

That's cool man, I support rescues and the people involved in making them happen 100%. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for your 4Runner. I'll need to start a build thread at some point, just don't feel like I have near enough done yet to justify one after reading through a lot...

I used to be a mechanic at a Toyota dealership here in town for a number of years. We had a customer come in one day with a white 1997 SR5 with a busted upper ball joint in the left front. The customer, for whatever reason, decided to sell the dealership the 4Runner and buy a new car from them...
