Hi, Have a 1999 runner, base model 2.7L 315k miles. Everything is original except some vac hoses. Power steering fluid is leaking quite a bit from cap. From top down sides of reservoir. What is nuts is that reservoir level of fluid is where it should be on dip stick/cap indicator. Zero...

I just completed a rebuild of all the ASC components. Condensor, Drier/receiver, compressor, pressure switch, evaparator core, thermister, AC amplifier (manual a/c as Auto a/c uses a relay), even replaced the 10A fuse in fuise box under the hood. Thought I would post these pictures to help...

Yes, I did replace thermistor Is the dual sensor switch the high pressure switch attached to smaller diameter AC line? Switch is near the ac line coupler (the coupler that requires a SST to remove) - if that is the dual sensor switch you referenced than Yes, I replaced it. Ac amplifier is...

Thanks to Skulking for the wiring diagram - Tested the various segments and isolated to the AC amplifier Interesting fact -by chance I disconnected and reconnected the ac amplifier while running AC / and twsting if it would take a charge (hope endure:”s against all Odds) Each time I...

Compressor Connector - Is it Broken? Update on findings while checking connectors 1/ Attached photos are the wire harness connector that snaps onto compressor connector 2/ does it appear that the connector is missing a piece? specifically is the "top half" of plastic connector broken off...

I've attached the wiring diagram for the manual AC for a 2000. I can't promise the wiring is the same for the 1999, but the function should be. Based on your description, it sounds to me like this section is going to be pointing you to your problem "The A/C operation is shut off when a signal...

Hey fellow 4runners - greetings from North Texas - (Dallas Ft Worth). Appreciate your help catching where I may have missed the obvious needed repair. Followed many of the recommendation here on T4R.org as well as Timmy The Toolman videos (love those 3rd gen videos of his). Vehicle: 1999...

yeah, or 75 bucks I got new webbing and the vendor cleaned the retractor mechanism. I was going to pull from a pick a part yard but after thinking it through, who knows what stress those belts were put under or the webbing rotting from the UV?weather exposure. Talking about a seat belt that is...

Thanks for the heads up on the vendor. I sent in driver side belt from my '02 4runner. great job and quick turn around.

Just tried this on my '99 Limited and it worked. Took a while as all 4 doors had similar issue in same location. One door at a time, and work the strip. I used a small amount of the 3m Super Adhesive - seems to be holding up. 4 weeks since I did the work.

Phattyduck Makes a great call out on the 2wd version In that driveshaft has an insulator which wears I was fortunate in that at 284k miles the driveshaft on ‘02 SR5 2wd is in great shape. Given unique construction of 2wd shaft with insulator - pulling one from wrecking yard carries a lot of...

I Concur with 02SE - My 2002 SR5 2wd developed vibrations at 55 mph and up vibrations werent ‘that bad’ but noise was significant. This is daily driver for my 2x week runs between ft worth and odessa texas so miles roll up fast 284k) As original owner know the history and wuirks well Simple...
