I think it's the sockets. I just pulled them off, and the contacts inside are rattling all over the place. One of 'em is missing a plastic 'retainer'. Guess we'll start there! Thanks, Jeremy

Jeremy, Thanks for the quick reply. So, here are the symptoms... Got the "fast blinker" on the left turn signal, discovered it was the left front turn signal. Replaced the bulb. It worked for a day then went back to the fast blinker. Swapped bulbs with the passenger side turn signal, both...

'03 Blinkers Still Not Working Jhelms, Fantastic write-up. Completed all, re-installed and still have the "quick-blinker" problem for both sides. '03 4Runner Limited with DRL's. As of now, DRL's are off, front blinkers are not functional, and front blinkers are not working. Any idea? Thanks!

Gents, Thanks for the prompt responses. The '03 bottom boot looks like a condom (apologize for the crass comparison!). I was able to put it back in with the eraser end of a #2 pencil. Then I got to the other side and noticed that that one was ripped. SO, had to buy new ones, and put them in...

Hey all, Tearing down my rear brakes for new pads and rotors. One of the guide pins was so dry inside the dust boot that it pulled the dust boot out of the pad cradle. What's the best way to get it back in? I don't want to tear it as it looks like it's still in usable shape. Thanks!!!!

Bump

Hey all, My '03 Limited with autodim mirror and compass started cycling and/or clicking. The compass goes from showing the correct direction, to showing all characters on the compass display lit up. At the same time it does this, the green light dims/brightens (don't remember which one is...

Hey all, 4Runner status: 2003 Limited V8, 160,000 miles Just changed the oil and noticed that the passenger side inner CV boot is torn, 360º, on the shaft side. It obviously sprayed grease all over. Unfortunately, no idea how long it's been like that, but my guess would be <5,000 miles. Would...

BlackWorksInc, thanks! You're most likely correct as I just asked for the 30,000 trans fluid service. Listed on the receipt: QTY FP-Number Description 1 PKTF-T Trans Flush Type T 13 ATF-T Type T/WS ATF Because the pause has...

Folks, Thanks for the feedback; greatly appreciated. I do agree that the temperature would have some type of affect on the fluid moving through the trans on initial startup, however, I've had the vehicle for 7 years, and it's not its first Wisconsin winter. If the issue wasn't significantly...

Hello all and happy new year! I have a '03 4Runner Limited V8 with 149,000 miles. When I back out of the driveway, enter the street, brake to a stop, and shift into drive, the duration of time for the transmission to fully (note: FULLY) engage drive continues to increase. I stressed the word...

Gents, you're right... Should've posted in 4th Gen page... Brain fart.
