1995 Trying to engage 4 wheel drive by sasolis

1995 4 runner seems to keep trying to kick into 4 wheel drive automatically. Had it in the shop, they cleaned something, said it was fine, took it home and it still is doing it? Told it was a brake booster, actuator, not sure what to do or check. Any suggestions?

A relay clicks and it is trying to go into 4 wheel drive without being engaged in 4 wheel drive. Have reset the computer, checked/cleaned actuator. Not sure what else to do, any ideas? THanks

Will it "click" with the truck just sitting idling or does it only happen from road vibrations?
 
Check the relay itself. Sometimes they get weak over time and will often stick or click like you are saying.
 
Let us know what you find.

Stupid question but which relay do I need to check? I ask my husband and he said there is 3 or four? Sorry to be so ignorant about a vehicle. I appreciate you writing back.

Not a stupid question at all but sorry to say I'm not sure which one you need to check.
It should be marked on the underside of the cover (if it's located in the engine comp.) or possibly the owners manual can shed some light.

Do you know the name of the relays?

It maybe called a shift interlock relay but I'm not 100% positive.
And it maybe located in the center console...again not 100%, sorry.
You could call your local dealer and they might direct you to where the relay is exactly located.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

4 runner 4high + low mystery. by chrisdrives

The 4 high and 4 low on my '93 4 runner are not working anymore. They worked great and one day i put it in 4 high it worked for a few yards and than "popped out".Note that their were no funny noices or what so ever when that happend. All thats working now is the neutral and the 2 high. Now before i start taking things apart i think its better to post this message, it might be a simple thing and easy to repair. I HOPE.....
Thanks
