Yup - I agree with 97BlackAckCL. This is what mine did before it failed and led to my write up. https://www.toyota-4runner.org/2773142-post1.html Not sure if it will be 1:1 with a 2002 since I wrote this for a 2015, but I imagine it is pretty similar overall.

I've been searching, but not pulling up what I am thinking likely given terminology being similar to breather mods, draining oil, etc. My goal is to see if there is any reality to adding a static drain line to the cargo area. Seeing others put their rear diff breather near the gas cap area...

Don't get me wrong, I definitely think there is a clock spring issue, but it is odd that the horn would honk again with the wheel back in the "straight" position. I diagnosed the clock spring issue previously by being able to honk with the wheel turned either direction, but wasn't honking while...

New Wrinkle Team - I haven't done anything yet to try and fix my horn issues I have been having as a result of what seems to be the clock spring. Yesterday, as I was driving, nobody was near me so I just tapped the horn to see if it was still messing up. IT HONKED. Loud and proud, like nothing...

I've had BFG KO2s on my 4Runner since the 2k mile mark on the ODO, and I now sit at 197k+. I'm only on my second set of BFG KO2s as well - the first getting about 93k miles, and these current tires are at end of life around 102k miles and right at 3/32" remain (getting new tires on Friday)...

Can you tell me where you bought it from on eBay...do you have a link, or can you confirm this is the right one? eBay Link: Clock Spring Cable For 2010-2016 Toyota 4Runner Scion 84307-30090 Clockspring | eBay Watched a few YouTube vids and seems pretty easy in reality.

I just started having this issue as well, and I have a 2015 Trail Premium. Dealer quoted me $1,300 to replace the clock spring assembly, but everything else on the steering wheel works just as others have detailed. Cruise, volume, phone buttons, arrows, etc all work flawlessly. Does anyone have...

This sound you describe is common before the motor fully dies. If it makes noise when using the button/key fob but isn't powering the lock/unlock, your motor needs to be replaced. What you're likely hearing is the whine of the motor internals attempting to turn the spindle which in turn moves...

Talk about a thread revival! I frequently drive to hunting and camping trips and have always been able to turn off all of my interior lights (map/dome/cargo) by flipping the switch to "OFF." Yes, the puddle lamps on the bottom of the door turn on when the door is open, but that is helpful to...

Did you get the outdoor handle working again? A couple posts above I had made a note of what to do under the "***EDIT***" segment of the post to make sure you get that physical rod back in the right spot for the ext handle. I had the same issue with interior/electrical locks/door working, but...

Glad my write up helped you out. There was some discussion through the thread about "threading" the physical rod through the handle/lock mech after the fact, so I'm glad you were able to figure it out. May need to go back and update the original post I made with that info to make it more clear...

As I read your comment regarding brake booster/ABS being electric, the lightbulb in my head went off and that makes sense. I guess it is just SUCH a draw that if you have your foot on the brake and tap something else (such as the window switch) it will do that brief dimming. Crazy that it still...

Speaking of alternator going out...do you recall noticing "anything" prior to that failure? I ask because every once in a while I will have headlights on in garage and as I press the brake to shift out of P, my headlights will do a momentary minor dim (re: very minor, probably lasts half a...

I just clocked over 186k on my 2015 Trail Premium and I have a timing gasket cover seal leak. Said it isn't "running," just a slight wet spot to monitor. Quoted me $4,100 to fix it (dealership). Anyone else had this issue? Otherwise it has only been consumables for me and two brake pad...
