    rehabbng a '98 2WD 4R after possible overheating

    The horn will “work’ without the key in the ignition. I would suggest checking the connection in the steering wheel where you press to activate the horn… it’s possible that the contacts are stuck. That’s my guess. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2001 4Runner ABS Issue

    Same thing happened on my Sons 2001. It would prime on and off. Was fine for a while, but over time it did it more and more. We took the whole thing off and found it had a small leak on the underside of the brake booster/master cylinder assembly. We ended up replacing it and has been fine ever...

    Squirrels - How to keep them out of engine bay?

    What works on my tractor that stays in the pole barn is, get a bag of moth balls secure it in a bag under the hood. They don’t like the smell, neither do most people. I also do the same with Irish Spring soap bars. Then I remove them when it’s time to fire up the tractor. Works well for me...

    Heater hose help!

    Thanks buddy. I’m trying to help my Son, he’s in college 400 miles away, so I can’t see the 4Runner in person , and a lot of the diagrams I found were confusing. Thanks again for steering me in the right direction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mysterious brake fluid leak. PLEASE Help

    I have super cleaned the area with brake fluid cleaner. I parked it in the driveway and will not move it. I am on duty at the Fire Department tomorrow for 24 hours, so it will sit there until Tuesday morning when I get home. I will check to see if any drips have happened at that time. Thanks for...

    Mysterious brake fluid leak. PLEASE Help

    This truck has lived in Sputh Florida it’s whole life. No rust issues. What else besides brake fluid would cause the paint to “bubble” up like that? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mysterious brake fluid leak. PLEASE Help

    No not red brake fluid.. I’m ASSUMING it’s brake fluid because of it wrinkling up the paint... and it’s ONLY in that particular area... not sure what else it could possibly be that wrinkles up the paint like that?? This truck has NO other issues or fluid leaks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mysterious brake fluid leak. PLEASE Help

    It is losing a small amount.. I know on this model year you are supposed to pump the brakes 40 times and THEN check fluid level. You hear the ABS pump (or whatever that’s called) turn on and off and cycle. Pedal is solid. It’s my Sons car and he’s going away to college. We just did a COMPLETE...

    Mysterious brake fluid leak. PLEASE Help

    Lol, for what it’s worth that’s my right hand and pointer finger.. but I do feel like giving it the middle finger. Pedal is fine, brakes feel fine, not spongy.. good idea on the brake cleaner. Just seems to me it has to be in that spot and obvious.. but it’s fighting me the whole way..Thanks...

    Mysterious brake fluid leak. PLEASE Help

    2001, 2WD, automatic, 5VZ-FE I thought I fixed the leak when I replaced the rear calipers. One was definitely leaking. No leaks anywhere now, EXCEPT it seems like it’s leaking right in the middle of one of the lines that run from the master cylinder to the rear brakes as you can see in the...

    Starter Green/Black wire location??

    Thanks, the kill switch I’m using will interrupt power to the wire it is connected to until you wave the RFDI over the sensor.. then you have 30 seconds to start the vehicle until it resets and kills power to that wire again unless you started the vehicle, then it remains closed/connected. I...

    Starter Green/Black wire location??

    Trying to install a kill switch on my sons 01. I have the same setup on my F250.. it basically kills the power to the starter until you wave an RFID tag over the sensor. Everything I can find states the wire that sends power to the starter is a G/B or B/G wire.. I have located these color wires...
