It was the battery. Thanks for all the help.

I believe I saw that thread when I was researching. Checked the fuses, specifically the EFI fuses & they looked good. Unfortunately don't have meter. Road side that helped me yesterday said battery was good. Battery check on my battery charger also said it was good. Battery is a little over...

Thanks for your help. Seems like this issue has exceeded my limited knowledge. Looks like it will need to be towed.

Oil light & charging system light are on. All others blink.

Thanks. Already read some of them. Doesn't seem like anything like that under there. Won't even click now when I try to start & it kills the power. Close the door, open back up & power is restored in the interior. Click anything power related (seats, doors, windows) & power goes away. Checked...

Just checked battery & cleaned battery terminals. Hooked back up & nothing. Tried that, nothing so far. I have had the vehicle almost 5 years. Do not think there is an after market system on it. How would I verify if there was/is one?

Went to grocery store last night came back out & 4Runner would not start. Tried to get a jump, but would not turn over. Just clicking. Had a road side service meet me. He attached a battery charger to it, tried to jump, same outcome. He said my battery was fully charged. He asked for my keys &...

Replacing the stop light switch seemed to work. No lights after 2 trips since the swap.

After 2 O'Reilly's later was able to get 2 codes: C1223: Malfunction in antilock brake system control system C1249: Open circuit in stop light switch circuit Was able to find thread: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/160845-help-vsc-trac-abs-skid-pic-lights-2.html Last poster had...

Thanks for the link. Apparently they did not have a capable scan tool to get the code. They could only tell that it was an ABS issue. Actually drove down the street to Autozone to see if they could do it, but they cold only pull MIL codes. I'm going to try another O'Reilly's to see if I have...

So these same lights came on for me last week. After reading this & other threads about the cause, I bought a new gas cap from the dealer. I have unplugged the battery & had the light come back on. Before that I drove around waiting for it to turn off by itself. Finally went to O'Reilly's to...

Black wheel crew checking in.

I don't feel any difference in steering effort. Maybe it's from not driving in 2WD for so long.

Thanks for all the replies. Some really good sensible information in here. Mpg is averaging 16-17 currently in mostly city driving. In the winter it drops to 13-15. I check my mpg every time I fill up & have been doing so for years (I'm either quirky or anal, maybe both). I don't really plan on...
