I need someong who is familiar with the wiring on a 2nd Gen 4Runner (95).

After crushing the driver's side fender at 7mph on a telephone pole in a parking lot (yeah, yeah, it was pitch black, raining and the darn pole was unmarked in the middle of a parking spot), I got my bumper replaced with an ARB. Since I've had it back from the shop (about seven months) the power mirrors don't work. The accident crushed the driver's side fender back to the tire, thus why I replaced the stock bumper with the ARB. Damn those things are flimsy. Either way my main interior light has worked intermitently since i got the truck. Now it's not working at all. The bulb is fine. Do the main compartment light and power mirrors run off the same harness? Does the wiring for the power mirrors run through the driver's side fender? Could they be completely unrealated and the relay for the mirrors just be blown (I know I should have this info before asking)?

In that vain can anyone tell me a good way to check the relay? i.e. if I pull it and do a simple circuit test, should it work? or does it need 12v power to switch on normally? Any help you guys can offer is much appreciated.

 

Stand by, I have the 2nd gen manual on CD in PDF form.
It use to be on the web from a members site, but he took it down.

It's 25 MB, so it's to big for me to host, but I will grab you a few of them.

I'll get back to you in a bit.

 

Hope this helps, 2.70 MB Zipped PDFs.

 

That is a huge help. Not sure when I'll have time to check it out, but thank you very much.

 

So i finally had time to take a look at the mirror problem, and switch is done for. But the strange thing is the harness doesn't appear to be right for the mirror switch anyway...it's kind of jamed in there. The pins line up but the ridge and catch on harness don't line up with anything. Has anyone else notice this on their second gen. (if you haven't can you take a look) It's really easy to pop the plate that houses the windows, lock and power window switches out, just pull up on the side that has the mirror switch. Thanks.

 

Some dumbarse at the body shop last year must have reconnected the harness wrong. The whole time I didn't notice until I'd ordered a new switch b/c my old one didn't test right. Long story short...finally after a closer look the harness was just in wrong and the old switch worked just fine. So needles to say, I have a brand new switch for sale posted in the for sale section if anyone is interested. I got it at a discount so, so will you.
