    An alternative way to "fix" the climate control panel lighting

    Haha, Fonz.. Thanks for sharing your experience! I did the same thing before, as I noticed at one time that one of the light bulbs went out, but I knew it was on before I left the car. So I taped the knob with my finger, the light came back on! I thought that would be bad contact caused. But at...

    An alternative way to "fix" the climate control panel lighting

    My runner climate control panel lights went out several times during my ownership, and they are quite pricey to buy from the dealership (from $4 to $6 a piece). Unfortunately, two of them went out again this time. I took the blown bulb out and looked at them, and thought maybe I can try to...

    Help needed on 06 4Runner V6 176k with oil residue around the intake manifold

    Thanks for your reply, this is my first post in our forum, I was thinking maybe no one has seen this post yet... Now I know, thanks! I checked my valve cover gaskets while I was cleaning the throttle body, looks like it is dry on both side. But since I have owned this car for less than a year...

    4th Gen No Codes No Start & Battery Light On, It's not the battery!

    feels like the ECU issue, since you have to use a scanner to erase the code every time to start the engine. What if you lose the both side battery terminals and hold them together to hard reset the ECU?(can drain the capacitors). Hopefully, it will be a simple fix. Good luck! Keep us posted.

    I would suggest you check the Power/Ground wire from the battery terminal. And about the Zero point calibration, I had done that before, some more expensive scan tool can do the job. If your scan tool doesn't come with this function, if I remember correctly, you can use two metal pins to short...

    Can 5th gen wheels work on my 4th gen 4 runner

    Awesome place to ask a same question Hi, my 4th gen TPMS light just begins to flash. I am thinking it might be time to change the sensors. I run into a deal for a set of 5th gen rims for $200. I am thinking to swap my tires to the new rims. Does anyone know if the 5th TPMS sensor will be...
