Where is the button for e-locker?
I just had a quick question. I feel bad making a whole thread for it, but couldnt find any information about it anywhere. I am searching to buy a 3rd gen 4runner and some of them are second or third owner vehicles so the current owners dont know if they have the rear locker or not.
I was wondering if there is a specific location that i could tell by the pictures whether it had it or not. I have seen a couple with black buttons to the left of the steering wheel. Thats where the center lock is located on my parents 2004, but is there another possibility of what that button is?
any info would hlep. If you dont have a locker and you still have a button there, please let me know or the other way around.
Thanks for the help

Some 4Runners also have some sort of security light/button? in the same spot as the RR DIFF LOCK button. So keep an eye out on that.
Also another sign that it may have a locker is the "warning 5mph" sticker on the driver's side door.

I hate to get off topic, but yeah, I use mine a good bit. Like when I need to warm it up or have changed the oil and need to fire it up to check for leaks and I am too dirty to get in. I don't use it all the time, but it is useful when I need it. Some others have used it for emergency purposes too. You might want to look for those threads, because I really don't understand it.

Alarm ---- Clutch Start Cancel ----- RR Diff Lock
So essentially, every switch blank is filled from the factory. (Not that I'm complaining or anything.)

Thanks again guys for all your help. I am planning on holding out for a 5 speed and the diff locker. I would also like the sport edition on top of that, but if i can find a 5 speed with locker, thats good enough for me and i can just get a new hood for it later on.

Oh wow, so if I could find a canadian one, that would solve all my problems. Anyone know any canadian auto listing web pages? and I may end up just getting a normal SR5 and put the hood scoop on it, but i would rather have the true highlander or sport edition. Oh well, cant win em all I guess
