3.0 Engine Grounds
I just installed a body lift on my 4Runner and it's my believe that one (or more) disconnected while lifting the body because now (the first time I use my truck after the install) my running lights don't work. The relay clicks, but no running lights. (And yes, everything else works: brakes, reverse, turn, head lights.)
I need to know all the grounds there are or should be. I've searched for about a day on here, but only come up with answers for the 22RE, I have the 3.0.
Here are grounds I know of:
-Main ground (leaving battery) straight to chassis.
-Small ground (leaving battery) to immediate engine bay wall.
-Small ground from bracket on left side of engine to left fender.
Those are all I can find. I'm sure there has to be more! If someone can please help me in anyway, by telling me or directing me to another thread, that would be great and much appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

There is enough play in the ground wires that you didn't likely pull one apart.
As long as the ones you listed are still bolted tight, then its not a grounding problem.
Btw the main ground should go straight to the block as well as to the inner fender.

I wasn't sure if there were more for the 3.0 or not because I saw Bleeder's thread for the 22RE and there looked to be a bunch! But then this is so coincidental! Because the running lights worked the moment I parked the truck at around 5PM. I install the lift, take it for it's first drive a little after 1AM, and no running lights. All my fuses are good, and the relay even clicks when I turn the switch. (And just incase, I am sure its the running light relay (not the head light relay) that is clicking.)

If the relay pulls in
you either have a problem with the 12V supply or with the ground of the lights. Both lights just died at the same time. Do this lights ground through the mounts or into the wire harness??
Have you checked the 12 V supply coming off the relay with a multimeter at the relay and at the lights.
I would bet you pulled a wire off somewhere.
