Just wanted to post a PSA about replacing the clock spring. Don't let it intimidate you! A while ago, my horn stopped working. Like others, at first, I could have the horn sound briefly if turning, but then it went out completely. However, I knew it wasn't the horn because the panic button...

MtnMike, what PID did you put in for Elevation?

Hi all. I've got a 2010 Limited. Originally came with JBL sound, but basic stereo package (6 CD changer, no Nav). I do have steering wheel controls (not sure if that makes a difference). I have recently lost use of my horn. All other functions on the steering wheel still work properly. From...

Thanks so much for this fix. Mine would only close if I got it close, about 3 in away from being closed, and then give it little bumps and nudges with the button until it was all the way closed. I opened the moonroof to 100%, followed the directions above by holding the button for 10 seconds...

For those of you with Android phones and Android Auto, there's a pretty cool thread going on Reddit (in the AndroidAuto sub). A user (u/Psychological-War795) has created a way to get Torque Pro to work on your display. He's got full directions on his github site... and if I can get it to work...

I know the last post here was from 2013, but I wanted to add in something I just discovered, in case anyone has an issue like this come up. I am installing the Kicker speaker upgrade from Trail Grid Pro. I was in the process of replacing the driver's door speaker, which meant I had the full...

WTB: Left Dash Speaker, Perhaps Headunit for 2010 4Runner I've got some audio issues in my 2010 5th Gen. Looking to possibly buy used if some of y'all have upgraded. I've got a rattle/buzz in my left (driver's side) dash speaker. Anyone upgrade their speakers and have an OEM speaker to sell...

A couple weeks ago, I had a really odd thing happen at the start of a drive. The whole center console went black. The MPG / Compass / Time at the top of the console, the stereo, and the A/C control were all completely dark. Not just faded, but 100% unlit. I could still control the A/C even while...

My wife has been using our 4R (Limited) for the past five years because we had a kiddo five years ago, and the 4R was the safest vehicle we had. Money was tight, so we weren't able to upgrade our other vehicle until now. We're getting a newer truck that will become her truck, so I'm getting my...

Thanks to harper7 for posting info about the alternator swap in the service manual in the stickies section. I was able to download everything and am ready to go tomorrow. After our daughter was born (she's almost 4 years old), our 4Runner quickly changed from an offroad-wannabe to a daily...

Thanks, all! I appreciate the help.

Good morning, all. I have a question I'm hoping you can help with. We've been having problems starting our 4R. Clicks over and sometimes catches to start, sometimes doesn't. I got it running and took it to O'Reilly Auto (nearest place that could test). They ran a test on the battery and the...

Old Red, thanks for that post. Page 2 showed exactly what I'm looking at... and what I need to replace. Here's a copy of the post that shows the module I need to replace. This isn't an image of the one from my Runner, but it's exactly the part that is having problems. And I don't want to blame...

Sorry... that used to be in my signature, but I guess I deleted it out. It's a 2010 Limited. I'll go put that info back in.

Thanks rigtec and Old Red. I appreciate the help. I was the one that removed the plastic covering by the foot well. When I heard the loud hum, I tried to see if I could get to where the hum was. The plastic covering comes off fairly easily with three little snap pins at the front...
