Okay, I've resized the images and am adding more.

Hello everyone. I'm selling my 2006 V6 Toyota 4Runner SR5. Current mileage is just under 145,500. I am the second owner. I purchased it from my local Toyota dealer in March 2016 with 105,000 miles on it. Truck has been used as a household third vehicle. In 2017 at 109,891 miles, I had an...

Update Turns out it was the neutral safety switch. Mechanic said there was a lot of corrosion on the contacts of the old neutral safety switch and that it was difficult to remove. New OEM switch is installed and the truck has started every time since I've had it back, which has been three...

Every 5,000 miles since I bought my '06 V6 used with 110,000 miles. Mobil 1, Pennzoil or Valvoline, OEM filter. I have 140,000 miles on mine at the moment.

Was checking my fuses today and see that I don't have an ignition relay. Should be right above the Fog relay in the upper corner. Any ideas why it might not be there?

I did, thank you. Cables and battery posts look good. No corrosion. My battery is new from January 2022 when I had a new ECU installed.

This makes sense. I will start to do this. In the meantime, I called the mechanic on Friday. We are next going to install a new OEM neutral safety switch. When I brought the truck to him in late December, the shifter had been stiffening up. He lubricated the shifter cable thoroughly when...

Does anyone think it would be a waste of time for me to change out all the fuses in the truck? Or at least the ones that could potentially be tied to the ignition/starter parts? They are at least 17 years old.

The ignition switch is definitely a possibility. When I spoke with the mechanic prior to him installing the new starter and relay, he said an intermittent starting issue could be caused by four separate things: 1. Starter 2. Starter relay 3. Ignition switch 4. Neutral safety switch I don't...

Thanks Ripper for mentioning this. I have ruled the starter out and am resurrecting this thread from when I started it. After still having this issue after my original post, I finally brought the truck to my mechanic in late December. I explained to him that each day has been a 50/50 chance...
