2003 4runner, the rear tailgate will not open. I haven't driven this for a while, but when I did, I had to pull a relay under the hood, and re install it. the latch would then work until I started the engine, then stop working again. 2 questions, first, why? and which relay did I have to...

I have a 2003 4runner that mainly serves as a back up vehicle and sits in the garage. A couple years ago a pack rat got under the hood and ate the anti lock wires. I didn't worry about it for a few different reasons. I just put new rear tires on and see that the brake rotors on both sides...

I just replaced the lower steering shaft {not that hard} and then found that the problem was under the dash. the bolts had fallen out of the plate that ties the steering wheel to the lower splined shaft. Anyway, on the test drive it won't go over 25. I checked for codes and only found p1782...

Thanks, one last question, Is the switch as bad as it looks, or not too hard?

Last winter some of you pointed out that my I'm steering shaft was bad. I know it's been a while but i,m ready to replace it. The catch is pics I,ve seen show the u joint at the top, but on my car it's at the bottom. Is either way ok, or is there a reason mines upside down, other than a dpo...

Thanks, what am I looking for, or will it be obvious when I see it?
