So after talking with a good friend who use to do car alarm installs, he thought it might be the shock sensor going out. It was pointed out by someone else here on the forum that could be the culprit as well. So today I started at the red led and traced the wire directly to the shock sensor. It...

Thanks for the response guys! Im going to get into the dash this afternoon and see if I can find the brain/box of the alarm. Anyone know where they typically mount these?

could anyone confirm if this is the rs3200 alarm? thanks

Okayso the battery was not the cuprit!!!! If anyone else has had the horn chirp a few times repeatedly quickly please let me know. Ive been pushing the mysterious red button to the left to see if that helps resolve the problem. Any info on this "dealer" installed alarm, Im guessing in addition...

Okay, so it doesnt look like anyone else has had this problem. The horn "chirping" seems to have been caused from a almost dead battery. Battery was dead when I went to crank her... Went and had it checked and it was time to replace. Since I had the battery replaced no more horn chirping...

Thanks! That gets me something to go on. It was not outside it was in the garage. Anyone know where this shock sensor is and is it easy to replace?

I have a 2003 toyota 4runner V8. It came with a factory/dealer installed alarm with a red (about 1/4" in diameter) button that is on the lower left dash (about 7:00 from the steering wheel). I've looked in my owners manual but couldn't find anything about it. Here are my questions/problems...

Thanks for the info guys! Id like to go with the 285/75/16's ... But I was wondering if there would be a big difference in the ride? and how much trimming would I have to do?

Alright so here is the deal. I have a 03 2wd SR5 with the stock 16" rims. I have decided to go with the daystar 2.5/1.5 lift and spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers. After looking for hours on the lift pics and setup thread this was the setup that I could afford and got the look i wanted. I gotta...

Forgot to ask Ive been checking the transmission fluid with the car running and in neutral is this correct? These were the instructions to check the tranny fluid for our old tahoe. Ima assuming this is the universal way to check tranny fluid for those with a dipstick. Thanks in advance again...

thanks for the confirmation cj3flyr! It was beginning to drive me a little crazy... Also, for anyone doing a drain and fill on a 03 v8 2wd 4runner, the refill volume is 3.2qts. I initially put 4.5 qts back into my 4runner because I had read 4-5 qts will come out on a thread someone had done...

okay so from doing numerous searches I have come to the conclusion that I have the 5 speed transmission in my 03 4runner v8 2wd. I recently did a drain and fill on my transmission and used toyota atf type IV. It said to use type IV on the tranny dipstick. After doing some reading (on this...
