Thanks for the link. Mine is installed in a similar location but looks like a different manufacturer. Have not had time to pull out the wiring but bet it is a similar hack job. Don’t have the time to deal with disconnecting it myself. Think it would be better to have a dealer remove it or a...

I am now wondering if I have a third party alarm system that is causing all the problems. I have a tiny black box next to the hood release with a little blue light that turns on when I lock the door with the remote or the door lock button. A really stupid setup since I can turn the alarm off by...

Hello all, Just joined the 5th gen club, upgrading my 96 Limited to a 2015 Trail. Liking it so far except for the obnoxious horn beep when locking and unlocking. Just got back from the dealer and they said there was no way for them to disable the horn. They were able to turn of the little...

Had the plugs and wires changed this winter. Also had a mechanically inclined coworker check out the fan clutch and he said it seems to be working normally. It is trying to stall more often the higher I am running the AC fan. Though I can keep it from stalling if I run it in a lower gear at...

My 96 4runner has the Evap charcoal canister buzz issue that I have learned to live with. But last week I was out in the desert and the every second buzz turned into a constant loud buzz and gas could be smelled under the hood. Opening the gas cap resulted in a large wushing release of pressure...

Been reading up on the ABS issue with older 3rd Gen 4runners and came across this thread. I have a recently purchased 96 limited with the E-locker and just went out to see if using the button would disengage the ABS. First thing I discovered is that my e locker is not working. Second was that...

I am interested in hearing more on what other causes of this problem might be. I just got a new to me 96 4runner with 120k and have been having this same recuring issue except with cyl # 5. I had a tune-up and the plugs replaced, then had to bring it back and had the ignition wires replaced. I...
