How is everyone getting to the sensors on the top of the Transfer Case? It is an automatic so there is not enough room to get to it from the top, I removed the brace from underneath, and lowered the transfer case with a jack as low as it would go, still not enough room to get anything on there...

Yeah that is what I thought, will try the brake cleaner, I have went all around this thing, squeezing anything that resembles something protruding, sticking a small screwdriver inside the holes, nothing, they may just be aggravatingly stuck and the brake cleaner may loosen, I cannot imagine them...

So I am having the blinking light issue on my 2001 4 Runner, after reading this thread as well 99SC's thread over at YotoTech, I was excited to pull the switches off the actuator and test those fully expecting to find my problem there, only issue is after a hour of trying to manipulate the...

Tablet Holder Bought a tablet to specifically run Gaia while roaming the FS roads. What are some proven setups out there that can handle mounting? I imagine all the suction cup setups I am finding would not be adequate. Thanks,

Alright, got it figured out. Running through all the things that were brought up above, while getting ready to pull my bulbs I noticed a wire coming out of the right rear housing. This wire is what use to power the license plate light (which also included a three light brake light) on my tire...

Oh this is great, I hope I don't have to use, but will be perfect to reference if chasing. Shifter release is permanently stuck in contact due to the VSC/ABS being disabled. Will test cruise control tonight when I get home. They are bright as can be when the headlights are on, no dimness, no...

All other lights work, I ran it through the car wash yesterday and wife brought it up when she was behind me on the way home, it was already late so I have not pulled any fuses yet but would think it odd if a fuse was blown. I would think they would either work or not, not work when the...

Looking for some insight on a slight issue I am having, my brake lights are no longer working, the odd thing is I can turn on my headlights and they will all illuminate, including the 3rd brake light, when the brake pedal is not even being used. I know there can be brake light issues when...

Perfect, I already have the safety solenoid taped closed, so that's fixed. Thanks for the insight, will be hitting the gravel heavy this weekend, hope I jar all these little issues away real quick. I hate not fully being able to trust a vehicle, although expected when buying someone else's project.

Just for reference, in the case that someone stumbles across this same issue, it appears the previous owner did do the AndyMod, or something similar, backtracking wires I can see where they led a switch, turns out a lead had come undone. Still considering leaving it permanently on, will look for...

Main CEL has yet to come on. Currently waiting on an order to get a code breaker as recommended by so many here, if I do not get it by the weekend I will run it by the local parts store and use theirs real quick, will report what I find.

Confirmed the fuses are good, now it is the concern if disregarding the ABS VSC TC warnings will impact something else down the line and if having the safety switch taped up long term on the gear lever solenoid will cause issue.

I have been reading where the ECU/IG fuse blows, but I would think that would kill my speedo and door locks as well based on others symptoms. Will check these as well, thanks for the insight.

Hoping to get some different perspectives on an issue I am having with a new 3rd Gen I bought over the holiday. Runner is a 2001, bought it because it was already heavily built up, problem with that is I quickly ran into an issue I am having trouble fixing. Vehicle drove fine one minute, parked...

Nice, I have two 3rd Gens nearly at 200k, looking forward to getting the high mileage out of them.
