It is fixed. It was super simple but hard to locate. It ended up being a plug to the ignition switch. It wasn't fully seated into the female plug end and was apparently just making enough contact to work fine, but when I ran the alarm sensor wire I must have bumped it. It's probably been like...

I'm getting closer. I went back at it today and it's something to do with the wiring harness and loom that runs under the steering wheel. I'm not sure what's bad yet, and there are a few splice connectors that I doubt are factory, they may be the culprit. It's nothing I did yesterday, just...

Maybe. I didn't see any frayed or bent wires, I ziptied them all into their respective places. The only things I moved was the ECT and Window button onto the radio bezel. Everything else stayed in the same place. I am going to try putting everything back again one at a time and see if anything...

Even though I just fixed it, I have no idea what fixed it. So in an effort to help me understand what may be the issue, I did have a horn, headlights, and dome lights.

Well, I spent 4 hours today trying to get everything to work. Took apart the console multiple times, and saw nothing wrong. Took it all apart, left it apart, starts up fine and everything works again. I wish I could say what the issue or the fix was, but currently, no center console and no...

Also, I forgot to mention, when I put the key in and start it up. There is no check engine light, abs, or anything that will cycle on and then back off again. Just the ABS light comes on and then goes off.

No, the battery has plenty of juice in it. It starts just fine.

I believe this is my first post on here since I bought my 98' Limited 4x4 4Runner 2 years ago. I am in a bit of a situation and not sure where else to turn. I grabbed a 2000 4Runner center console and cup holders to upgrade from my floppy radio bezel, climate control blocking ones. I installed...

I am in need for an ECU out of a preferably 1998 Toyota 4Runner with a 3.4L. I found a few online, but they are upwards of $500 which is ridiculous. I am willing to spend about $200 for one if someone is parting out a car. I have a transmission and all the other parts for a manual swap, but I...

I still feel comfortable picking some of these up when I lift my 3rd gen even with the couple of issues. I have read this thread through all the pages and have only seen two failures and one was caused by operator error. That's hella good stats. Granted not everyone who has bought these when on...

Then I must be thinking of the wrong seal. I come from the world of Jeeps, where a rear axle seal is right at the bearing. Must be different on the Toyota Axles...

If you are putting new seals in, why not spend that extra $ to replace those as well. If the seals went bad, no telling on what kind of dirt and such has been in those and everything will be apart anyways. Preventative maintenance will make your Yota happy! :dance:
