Hello. everyone. I have a 2000 toy. 4 runner SR5 that has a broken window switch on the passenger side. I'm getting ready to sell this runner and I want to fix that. It's that the plastic cover for the button broke off, and my local stealer told me he can only sell me the whole switch and...

lol...good story. I think the planets lined up just right for you on that day.

Well, there may be something to that. As I mentioned my old landcruiser took a lot of abuse and just kept coming back for more. I guess I'll just start testing this thing and see what happens. Whats the worse that can happen, it breaks? LOL Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it.

MY ANSWERS ARE IN ALL CAPS. OTHER THAN NOT USE THIS VERY OFTEN, NO. I'VE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO THIS VEHICLE TO CREATE THESE PROBLEMS BUT I SENSE IT WILL BE HARD FOR YOU TO ACCEPT THAT. I DO SEE IT IS EASIER TO BLAME ME THAT THE VEHICLE. IT IS ALMOST ALL STOCK AS FAR AS VEHICLES GO. I...

Well first off I was afraid that my post would get this sort of reply as with your following one. I know it's hard to imagine that it could be the truck and not the owner, but I guess you aren't willing to see that possibility. Stop being so sensitive to your precious toyota being critizized...

Just so it's clear, I do realize that every brand of vehicle will have maintenance issues, and I know things will break from time to time, but this seems very excessive. I'm wondering if I should keep dumping time and money into this or just cut my losses.

well...lets see. I have been doing a lot of maintenance on it lately, but 1)I have a never ending CEL that is some sort of sensor but can't seem to get that diagnosed exactly to change it out. 2 mechanics can't seem to get it right. 2) The brakes are making some sort of popping noise...

used with around 45 000 miles on it.

I swear to you, at 125,000 miles, this 4 runner seems like it is just about to totally fall apart. It's not been abused, and in fact I try to take care of it and while I'm not perfect at it, the things I am doing to it should make it run better not worse. If it's not one thing it's another and...

well as much as I love toyotas, I own what vehicle you are talking about and at 125K it's starting to have all kinds of expensive problems. I wish I would of never sold my landcruiser. It had almost 300K on it and never had any problems.

OK, so when I'm actually driving down the road, they seem to work fine and don't make any noise. About a week ago, it was really cold here and I noticed that when I would start to slowly back out of my driveway in the morning, and for the first 10 minutes or so, the brakes (in the rear I think)...

do you have a link for these? Are you referring to the little concave mirrors you stick on the side view mirrors?

Thanks for the reply. I'm not at all comfortable with working on my own breaks. The fluid is dark. If it's as simple as using a little pump andpulling out the old fluid and then refilling the system I can do that, but bleeding the brakes is something I don't care to mess with. A car that...

where EXACTLY is this? I was going to do this changeover tomorrow but if I have to take my dadgum dash off forget it. Do you have any pics or anything ? I assume I still take the wheel well cover off to see up into the antenna motor and then what? Thanks for the help!

this is odd because I just logged on to post about this very topic and found this thread. Last week I changed my front and rear diff fluid and my transfer case and have a slight buzzing in the floorboard on the drivers side. I can't figure it out. I have no leaks, the fluid level is up to the...
