My brother hooked up my Sequoia to his new computer software and no faulty codes showed up. Weather conditions have changed, it has not rained around here in 24 which is a first since I noticed the problem. This is the third new battery, and last time they replaced an alternater also. Thanks Obviously figuring out the draw would be best, but since you've done all that and still weren't able to find it and can't afford to take it to a mechanic right now, you may consider installing a battery cut-off switch in the meantime. Yeah I got bought the cutoff switch this morning. You'd think though that after driving it on the fishing trip the battery wouldn't be dead 2 weeks later though.
As long as the truck is not running and the battery isn't charging he will be ok. I am not an auto mechanic guy but I'll try my best. Also, don't rely on the alternator to recharge it for you. I did a little homework on toyotanation. It said my car had no problems a … nd that everything was running fine.
You then remove the door lock wire harness loops, and remove the lock from the door. I have had it in less than a week. Pentofrost A1 does not contain any silicate, borate, nitrite or amine containing additives since these may harm your Asian vehicle. I stared the engine and tested the accelerator pedal and it seemed to be fine , I checked for the logical things like the heavy rubber floor mat, had it got pushed up on the pedal but this was not the case as it was 4 inches away and it has rubber knobs or studs that push into the carpet and will not slide also my left foot was firmly planted on the mat at all times. I have a 2004 4Runner with the exact same issue. How did you accomplish that.
I had to replace my battery a couple of months ago and my daytime running lights started working all the time. If the bulb continues to glow brightly, then start removing fuses or connections to the positive battery post one-at-a-time until the offending electrical component is identified by the bulb dimming. My concern is my warrenty will be up and I will find I have a serious electrical problem. Pulled the alternator and had it tested twice at different shops - good. I think it should be made a lemon and replaced. I had to jump my truck a couple of times, because I left the inside light on and I found when I did this my daytime running lights worked briefly.
Connect Test Light Between Negetive Cable And Negative Battery Terminal: If Light Comes On You Have Something On Or Grounded. As the truck still had its original battery and that was nearly five years old, I bought a new one at the next reasonable opportunity. Later my wife had problem starting the car but succeeded after one more try. If it glows brightly, then remove the negative battery cable and connect the bulb in series between the negative battery cable terminal clamp and the negative battery terminal. Clean intake, clean factory settings of the sensors.
Remove the soot, and everything is back to normal. Also, make sure the battery that was put into your vehicle has the correct cold cranking amperage and Reserve Capacity for the vehicle. Then one removes the door lock protector, the door handle protector, and detatch the control cable from the outside door handle. But something is wrong with my 4Runner and I think this is an issue with many 4Runners. I hope my experience helps you out and keeps you from spending a fortune at the dealer. Start going throught fuse box again looking for voltage and what the amps were if there was power. All I want is the problem fixed but I am not spending a fortune to have multiple mechanics inspect it and scratch their heads in confusion.
Time will tell how durable it is but so far, I am happy with my purchase. For most Toyotas, you can wrap an old belt around the oil filter and unscrew it by hand. Dealer said bad battery and replaced it. I love my Sequoia but lately it has been doing some strange things. . I was pushing hard on the brake and trying to move from the left lane in traffic at night to the right lane to try and stop the truck. However, this did not turn of the lights.
The ignition switch could be faulty. The dealer is not capable of providing this service, so they will often tell you that it can't be done and that the computer has to be replaced. Do you mean you replaced the battery or are you referring to the battery cables? It will eventually learn on it's own if you do not follow this procedure , it just takes a little longer. Rermove The Negetive Cable From Battery, Leaving The Positive Cable Attached To The Battery. And a tire sensor problem. I usually go to an auto parts store and get the filter very easy to replace.
