If the outlets are on a 15 amp fuse, I'm thinking that a switch rated at 20 amps that bypasses the relay might just do the trick. Still skeptical that there will be enough power making it to the rear to overcome the low voltage cutoff of the fridge when the car isn't running... Sent from my...

It looks easy enough that I might try to make it happen myself! Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

Looking at 90-111 a little further, I think that all of those items I noted above (heated seats, etc), just share the same ground with the accessory socket... so jumping the relay or adding a 2nd relay I don't think will provide power to any of those items..... was confused by the dashed line...

Ok... look at 90-11, you'll see that the junction block (marked J/B on 90-111) is the main fuse block under the dash on driver's side. accessory relay is just above the fuse area on the left side. that would make it super easy to add a relay or jumper the pins to always send power...

Take a look at the FSM page 90-111 (page 116 of the PDF that I've got) It looks like both front and rear accessory sockets are are activated by the accessory socket relay..... if you wanted to get crazy, locate the relay, and then jump pins 1 and 3 with heavy wire that will then run power...

I did a DIY fix on my horn, button.... but I forget what I did... I think it involved opening up the part where the two plates are that activate the horn relay and doing something to space them apart a little more. horn isn't as sensitive as it used to be, but it also doesn't go off in the...

I'm guessing that without the Montero pushing more than 12 volts from the alternator, there won't be enough capacity in the small wires running to the rear outlet to power the fridge. There is a lot of power loss in DC. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

the center flashing light is probably a result of the 4wd solenoids...... gen 3 uses the same solenoids as the gen 2/2.5

It is the horn switch in the steering wheel. Common problem on the gen 3. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

Expensive. You don't need to pull the heads or drain the coolant, but you do need some special tools and make sure you have extra keepers, they are easily lost Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

If gen 3 look at the horn button in the steering wheel... Common problem when it gets cooler Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

Something I noticed.... I have a W220 mercedes with the hydraulic suspension... it also has accumulators that go out.... they look VERY similar. Also, in my '03, I had the motor fail in the HBB pump.... I ended up pulling the motor from an HBB out of a 4 runner of similar year.... in my video...

Rebuild joints with fresh grease and replace boots is better than aftermarket joints Sent from my SM-P580 using Tapatalk

yeah... I have the same rant.... temp gauge in the gen 2.5 is very simliar... 199-200 is almost the exact same reading. Gen 3 is known for faulty temp gauge, easy fix with a soldering iron. I dropped ~60 bucks on an ultra gauge. it gives you a bunch of data from the computer, including an...

Yeah... Montero has enough power to get itself, passengers and some gear around.... Not much left over. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

A torque converter and clutch problem? Sounds like a real nightmare! Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

Great to put a few faces with expo names. Wish I could have done the after lunch drive, will have to plan it in advance next year. Was also cool seeing the mods that others have done, some great ideas. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

last minute change of plans..... Will be coming down. I've got Joshua's phone number from the AZ Crew thread.... hoping to get there a little early, but aiming for at least 9am.

You can transfer over the seat back onto the bouncy seat back frame. IIRC the foam is the same, but the power seat has a power back. Not too difficult but you will want a couple pairs of needle nose pliers. Doesn't solve the seat bottom problem, but might save you some $$ at the reupholster...

There just isn't leverage to pull the pulley and bearing without perhaps removing more from the front end (radiator, bumper, etc)... you might get lucky and have it come off easily, so worth a shot. Sent from my SM-P580 using Tapatalk
