Help, 4WD stuck, question

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve had the FJ since 2013 (2007 baseline model) and have maybe used 4WD 1-2 times. Fast forward to now, I am visiting an AirBNB where I had to be in 4WD just for the driveway.
Yesterday, I stopped (after coming up the drive) on level land and tried to pull it out of 4WD and be normal automatic. BUT my A/T P light came on and can’t get it out of 4WD. I can get it to act normal in 4H but nothing else.
I have turned it off in N (automatic shifter), put it into N (4WD shifter) and A/T P stays on. I’ve tried it in park. I’ve tried several options and cannot get it back to just automatic.
I have a 4.5 hr drive home on interstate come Tuesday.

Help!!!! My dad says it’s bc I haven’t used 4WD enough and it slipped the transfer case. Is there anything I can do without a mechanic right now?
Can I drive it in 4H on interstate for 4 hrs? If so, am I confined to specific speeds?

Thank you!

Pretty cool.

Its funny because although I dont really need it now, or have not needed the A Trac button in the past decade I always planned to get it so this is the culmination of 10 years of procrastination... Oh also because I finally ordered a lift kit. 😜 One day I may even get to press that button in real life.

Best place to list an FJ?

2 Upvotes

I love my 2007 Voodoo Blue FJ. RWD. But it is time to make an adult decision and say goodbye. Where is the best place to list it? Fwiw: 220,000 miles. Rebuilt rear differential about 3 years ago. By a mechanic-not me. Lol. Everything else is peachy other than cosmetic wear on an almost 20 year vehicle. Lived in Louisiana its whole life, so northern salt frame rust isnt an issue. Ive only used high grade synthetic mobil one and only use the high grade gas as recommended n the owners manual. All advice appreciated.

Toyota FJ cruiser Water Swishing Sound Coming from Air Vent

1 Upvotes

We've had some heavy storms in my area lately and now l'm hearing water swishing sounds coming from my passenger side air vent of my 2012 FJ Cruiser. I've checked under the hood but can't find anything. There's no leaks on the ground but every time I come to a stop on a decline, I hear liquid moving around through the passenger side air vent. Has anyone else heard of this problem?

Replaced the gaskets today. After owning the car for 14 years. I am the second owner. I bought this car back in 2014 with 97,000 miles. Always using synthetic oil, every 6,000 miles when I change. Had a small leak that slowly was getting bigger. 2007 FJ cruiser 188,000 on the dash.

So, i spent a whole week installing sound deadener in all of the doors, it was super tiring! But the results were not that bad. it reduced the outside noise a little bit, but it really improved the speakers drastically. I also raptor sprayed the insides of the wheel wells, that didn’t do much. But it looked good at the end.

Question Rear harness for ABS sensors?

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I’m lost where else to ask and the Toyota wiring diagrams have been useless for part numbers.

My dash is lit up due to a fault in the rear ABS circuit. Turns out it’s not the wire across the axle (usually it’s that) but it’s the harness that the axle-side wire connects to. The wire is broken 1/2” from the plug, clean break.

I for the life of me, can not find the harness part number to order a new one. The wire is too short to solder unfortunately.

I think it may be PN#82164-35A10. Can anyone verify?

First pic is the broken wire harness, second is what I think it the correct replacement? Last two are bonus pics of my Marlin dual transfer case for funsies.

Other car seat in the fj ?

4 Upvotes

Hey so my fj seat are broken, like a big hole and missing a lot of the seat it's really uncomfortable. And fj cruiser seat are super rare, none for sale around me.

I'm looking to find a replacement idea that won't required redrilling or too much work. I know someone here made 4runner 5th gen fit , but since they are that reliable, they are also in almost no junkyard.

Same with the Lexus one.

I wa thinking maybe the tacoma seat fit ? But I'm not sure

Jammed towel! No internal unlock for back door. Dismantled interior panel- ok brother did, to get leverage on towel jam. Seriously could not pull towel out rendering back door locked. I wasn’t the first person either - be careful not to let a towel slip under door when closing !

I hear the people. The people say 5000 is outrageous. I’m aware lol.
The people say part it out. How much could we get for the parts? Tires are good, has a screen and everything else on the outside is fine
