I've just tried and tried. I can't get it right. I'll get at it again tommorrow, I'd be thankfull if you could help me out, stepby step! I'll get up with you, bro! :cry:

Eagle, you're right. about fixing it right the first time, I just don't know how. I've gotten the fuse panel pulled out, and, just about fainted when I saw everything that was behind it! I have some contact spray, but, what is the best way to clean everything? I mean, someone else told me not to take any wires out, or off. Id never get them back where they all go. Right now, I'm trying to find where the wires to the bad terminals are, and see how they look. not trying to be stupid or anything, but, that spray/cleaner only works if you spray it on, and brush it clean, right? I mean, it won't do no good to just spray it into the connectors back there, without putting some elbow greese into there also, would it? I just don't want to bite off more than I can chew with this, and end up with a major problem, cause I was just trying to get the blinkers, and wipers working, know what I mean? I'm sure, If you could see the burnt terminals, compared to the clean, shiny brass one's, you would agree that the problem might lie in there, somewhere. Please tell me what I can do to get this connect. fixed, cleaned, or, bypassed. Please take it to mind, that I DO want to do it right the first time, not jerry rig it! thanks, John

ok, here's a picture of the "burnt" terminals, in my fuse box, I want to bypass this terminal, with this piece(single fuseable link) I bought the other day, should'nt this work? If I take out the fuse box, find the right wire's, splice this part in, and put it back together. here's the burnt terminals, look at it, and compare it to the "shiny" good one, to the left of the bad one, http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL1861/8 ... 121463.jpg ok, here's the part, or piece, I want to wire in; http://pic70.picturetrail.com/VOL1861/8 ... 734763.jpg think it'll work?

So, You did'nt figure out your "blinker/brake/dash lights" problem before you junked it? I been trying to figure this one out, and needless to say, I'm getting frustrated with it!

I meant, that they haven't somehow crossed your hazard circuit into the mix at the rear. How do I check this?

OK, now I'm supposd to check these at the fuse panel, or, up front at the head light/blinker sockets?

Hello, I've got a problem, that's got me pulling all my hair out, trying to figure out and fix. On mine, the PO , well, I don't know WHAT the PO did. Now, my blinkers don't work, windshield wipers, horn, lighter, either. when I put on the brakes, the blinker indicator lights, on the dash light up. Interior lights don't work at all, unless you turn the headlight knob all the way to the left. Anyone have any Ideas about this "Gem" of a problem? I'm fixing to take the fuse panel out, clean it(with a wire brush, and contact cleaner), check to see what the wires look like behind there, put it back in. I know this won't fix the wireing mix up, but, maybe it will help my wiper/blinker problem...................... John

I have the same problems. On mine, the PO , well, I don't know WHAT the PO did.

Ok, bless her heart, she was about to cry, thinking she might have messed something up. anyway, I was out side, using the turkey bastering suckering thing-ah-mah-jig, then ran back in to check to see if you had answered me yet, and we both had the same solution. She actually did'nt even pour enuf in to worry about, so ... Thanks my friend John

anyone, My Neice just accidently poured about a half an cup of oil, into the powersteering pump before I could stop her. It's on (in) toyota 4runner What if anything do i need to do? Please answer in a hurry.

ok my friends, I replaced the inner tie rod end, and I will have to say, it now drives like a caddy! I did end up getting a new one from Auto Zone, for about 20 bucks. Glad I went ahead and did it!!!!

ok, here's a pict. not a good one, see if you can tell anything from it, if not. I'll run out there, and take a better one Thanks, John

hmmm, sounds like a good idea. thanks

Eagle, ok, thanks. That's what I get for trying to save a dollar, the knowledge to know not to do that crap again! I'm just enjoying learning all these things from yall, and at the same time, it's become a project/hobby! Thanks again !( I really don't see a whole lot of thanks :bowdown: , for help given, in these forums, what's up with that people? :headpop: )

ok. I'll try it in a day or two. Right now, I gotta concentrate on getting the Tie Rod end, put in, before I end up in a ditch! Thanks for ya help. I'll get back to you Bro!
