my repair parts list (not the OEM repair manual) for the 2003 4runner shows the part number for the left hand side (the audio buttons as) part number 84247-35010...show's a rough replacement value of $85.17. it shows a part number for the right side, but I'm betting it's the plastic we've already got. part number 84244-35010...replacement value $0.00 (which is odd, 'cause plastic costs too...) Then there's a description called 'harness, switch' part number 84204-58010 value $32.58, must be the wiring up from the radio to the steering wheel.
ok, so that's just for the statement of those facts. looking in my 2003 oem repair manual...in vol 2, page 67-23 it says this for step 5:
Remove steering pad switch LH (W/O steering pad switch RH)
(a) disconnect the connector.
(b) disconnect the connector of cruise control main switch
(c) remove screw
(d) disengage the meshing of 2 pins and remove the steering pad switch LH
the thing that caught my eye was the "w/o steering pad switch rh" I would have thought they would have called what we have on the standard 4Rs that came w/o the nav, the "steering pad blank RH" or "steering pad cover RH"
Anyone got any lists for the 04? I went by the dealer about a week ago to look at mounts for the backup camera on the 4R, but our local dealer here didn't have any 4Rs w/ the nav system left, I ended up looking at the Land Cruiser. Maybe I'll go back and look again and see if I can track one down...
