Hey y'all, I've had a few electrical problems and posted another thread re: blowing a fuse for my door locks/power windows.. Still haven't figured that one out because time isn't my friend right now. Work is good but no time off isn't... Keep on truckin, eh? My new electrical gremlin is that my...

So I finally have a day off and instead of sitting by a campfire with a beer I'm dismantling my Yota... I unplugged all of the power door locks and window regulator switches and it's still shorting out. Here's a weird one, I jerry rigged a couple of wires with spade connectors so I don't have...

Thanks, that's where I have to start poking around then...

I honestly have no idea what is causing it. All I know is that my door locks and windows are kaput. As for specifics, the only thing I did was move it on the property one afternoon and they haven't worked since.

Greets... I haven't posted anything for a few years because Toyota makes good stuff! But the other day the power windows and door locks on my 2000 4Runner blew the big expensive 30A fuse. At $7.50 a pop, I really don't want to keep buying fuses. The question is, has anyone else had this problem...

OK, beer... After letting it sit outside and think about how bad it's been, I went out there to finally get it fixed. One simple little trick and it was done. I really didn't want to take the window regulator assembly out so with dexterity and cursing, I found out that the bent end of the rod...

Well, what an exercise in frustration... Are there no diagrams anywhere on the internet? Since I have no idea what I'm supposed to be seeing when I poke around in there, and I really don't want to f*** with the window mechanism if i can help it, it looks like there's a broken spring perhaps...

Dogtail, Blaze17, Brad... thanks for the replies. This thing is my mobile toolbox, so access is kinda important. Thankfully it's Christmas so no big need to use it for work, but it would be nice if it still worked. Dogtail, The latch mechanism is fine. If I push on the little arm it...

Well, it seems that just hooking up the little rod to the clip doesn't fix it. Something else is fooked in there. Are there any diagrams, or how-to's that anyone knows of? I've searched and can't seem to find any...

I tried looking up my problem in the search, but as usual, I seem t be the only one in the universe with this problem..... So far I've managed to get the rear panel off and I found the little linkage to the cable, pushed it and got the hatch open. Yay! :party: Looking inside, I could see the...

Greetings from West Canuckistan, aka BC. I just bought a 2000 4Runner and am pretty stoked about it! I have been wanting one for a while now and biding my time, searching the classifieds when I came across a rare one. I don't know about down in the US but up here in Canada 2.7L 4 bangers...
