I forgot to respon,d my couple month old AutoZone duralast brake caliper was leaking fluid.

So I had an almost poop my pants moment on the way to work this morning. I had to brake a kinda hard for a yellow light and my brake pedal just kept going almost to the floor but at a consistent but less pressure than usual. After I had stopped I was able to basically press the pedal to the...

So a quick update, my battery still hasn't died since I posted this I hope it somehow was my stereo. As soon as I have time I will be fixing the connections and soldering them. Hopefully it stays gone and isn't anything else. If it does come back I will start looking testing each individual...

Quick update, my battery appears to not be dead so it might be my radio, so tomorrow or Sunday I will pull it out and I guess check the connections. But since this has been totally random I would not be surprised if it disappears for months and comes back just like before. I am going to solder...

Awesome thank you, I guess there is no point in driving around with those fuses out now that I think about it. Are the two under the hood radio1 and radio2 the only ones for the stereo? I will pull them out when I park it tonight and see if its dead tomorrow.

I actually just put the powerstop calipers, rotors, and pads on my 08 a couple of months ago and it did not come with any ebrake hardware. It did have everything else to replace the front and rear brakes though.

First things, I had the alternator and battery tested they are both good. They did say my alternator is on the bottom end of voltage output. I cleaned the battery since there was a little liquid in the middle and I guess that can cause a slow discharge if the liquid touches both posts or the...

Thank you very much and a quick reply as well!

Sorry to revive an old post, but I broke that fuse trying to chase down a battery drain (located it to the "short pin") But I was wondering is that fuse a dealer only part? AutoZone over the phone was no help at all.

Hey I just found this thread, I am in American Fork and would love to come to a meetup if anyone is planning anything.

I had my rotors turned and put new pads in earlier this year. I think I got all the air out of the system as it only bounces/shudders when lightly pressing the brakes and usually at high speed. I see some other threads about rebuilding and checking the calipers so I will see if one is seized...

The air in the system is from when I did it wrong earlier this year. I have not checked to see if there is more air. The brake fluid level is not changing though. Ok sounds good, do you know if the rear caliper guide pin is supposed to have flat spots on it? Thank you

Hello Everyone, So I am having issues with my brakes on an 08 sr5 v6 4unner. The steering wheel is shaking when braking mostly at freeway speeds, but it is also shuttering/bouncing the brake pedal like there is air in the system. I bled the brakes the other day and a bunch of air came out. I...

That is awesome, I would like to try that. But I feel my stock daily driver 4runner would get banged up and broken.

OK cool, only reason I do not want them in the door is because I like to put cables in low traffic areas where they are less likely to get pulled or something. If it was not for that I would totally put them in the door. I was changing my oil the other day and was thinking I need an underhood...
