SUVs Toyota 4Runner Toyota 4Runner Electrical Problems

I have a 97 4runner Limited that I'm having trouble with. The rear wiper , rear defrost, and window for the hatch are all inop. These all happened at pretty much the same time. The wiper was working very slowly but now not at all. Also the license plate light will sometimes stay on all the time after I shut off vehicle. The only way to get it to go out is turn the ignition switch on and then back off, then light will go out. This seems to happen more frequent when I use the key fob to lock doors and set factory alarm. Ihave checked all fuses and they are ok. I also checked the wires where they come through the roof to the rear hatch for rubbing. No problem found there either. It seems like all the problems could be related to maybe a relay? I dont know, anyone have any thoughts or know where I might find the relays related to these items? thanks.

Hi all; I just encountered a problem I hope someone can help me with. My 97 runner doesn't seem to want to start. I have enough power to turn on my head lights, interior light and move the power seat. However, the dash warning lights do not come on when I turn the key, nor does the radio, and the power windows will not close either. The ignition lock turns but there is absolutley no sound from any of the accesories. All the fuses look good is there a "secret fuse block somewhere I am neglecting? |

i bought a 2005 toyota hilux dual cab ute (utility)in November 2006 i am from downunder the car was well looked after ( i examined it before the dealer had time to have it detailed for the lot) i went for the "defence pack" after market protection. ie,paint,upholstry,and electronic RUST PROTECTION. I had some accessories fitted before delivery. towbar,rear step and a heavy duty roof rack. I had an operation that month and the vehicle was rarely driven over the next six months. I had a stainless steel nudge bar and spotties fitted before a 6 week trip to europe. on return i noticed extreme rust on the spotlights and the 2 stainless steel ratchet tie downs on the roof rack. the suppliers had never seen such corrosion on either of these products.they replaced them under warranty. i then had stainless steel side steps fitted. within 2 weeks,all the offending items as well as some painted screws on the sidesteps are rusting out. took the vehicle back to the roof rack supplier and was told he had heard sometimes these electronic systems actually seek out accessories somewhat like a sacrificial anode.he offered to replace the ratchet device again. took the hilux back to the inspection centre for the rust prevention system.got the run around. he eventually just took the fuse out to disconnect it from the vehicle. has anyone out there had any similar experiences. no kidding,the rust that forms looks more like what you would expect after 2 years,not 2 weeks!

I have a 2007 4 runner. After shutting the vehicle off and letting it sit for a few minutes, when I try and start it, it cranks over and over without starting. When I turn it off and start again, it works. I only have 11,000 miles on it and it is still under warantee. Any ideas? |

1994 Toyota 4runner. I connected a jumper battery in reverse polarity. Blew the 80 amp breaker and the fuel injection fuse. I replaced both and started the car, drove two blocks. Truck ran fine for first block as if there was no problems. Then it seemed to have a heavy electrical power shortage, dashboard indicators lit up and truck began to bog down towards a stall. I shut it down and parked it. I checked fuses under the dash and all seemed to be intact. To replace the fuel inj. 15 amp fuse, I pulled the hazard light fuse and used it. I was just going to drive to the parts store and buy the replacement fuse, but now the car sits and I don't want to try to run it until I know what else is wrong. CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE. THOUGHTS, IDEAS, POSSIBILITIES. THANK YOU. gary.schaut  gmail.com
