Where is the transmission relay on a Toyota 4Runner?
On the 1st gen 4Runner, its behind the side panel next to the rear seat on the driver’s side (photo A, below). Pull the tabs and shoulder belt trim to gain access to the panel and relay behind it. In the 2nd gen 4Runner, the relay is in the rear corner of the bed, behind the side panel (see photo B below).
Where are the drawers in the back of a Toyota 4Runner?
Currently attempting to build drawers to fit under the cargo tray in the back. Need recommendations for bottom mount slides. I didn’t build them. Bought them used from a 5th gen owner and just painted them to clean them up, they ended up fitting perfectly under my rear deck lid.
How can I check the ground on my 4Runner?
A handy way to check for a good ground is to use a 12V test light (make one out of two wires and a 12V light bulb). Place one wire of the test light on a 12V power source. Then place the other wire on a connection that you want to check for ground on. If the light bulb lights, you have a complete circuit and a good ground connection.
How big is a sliding pantry in a Toyota 4Runner?
Strongest I know of off the top are Heavy duty slides used for a Sliding Pantry, IIRC they are about $120 a pair and are rated for up to 130lbs. You’ll lose about 1.5″ of drawer depth though. You might look at Ryadon out of California. If you can stay within the the lower load rating these would only cost 3/4″ of depth when mounted undermount.
How do you bypass a Toyota 4Runner rear window?
To perform a bypass, wire a DPDT polarity reversing switch in the relay’s place and get rid of the box entirely (unless you use the windshield wiper). The switch is ON-OFF-ON and momentary, so when you let go of the switch, it turns back off. This will help you avoid leaving the window in the going up position and burning it out.
How does a window relay work on a 4Runner?
Fundamentally, the window relay module (pictured above) has two main relays that provide the proper polarity power to the window motor to raise or lower the glass. Basically they swap +12V and Ground to the two motor terminals. If you can’t measure the voltage at the motor, then something is wrong at the relay module.
