2000 limited, dash lights don't work after accident

found the relay under the hood but before i buy a new one, could an accident caused one to go bad? and, is there a way to test it first before buying new one? thanks

sounds like a fuse. Check em all under the hood and under the dash. And make sure no wiring is damaged, thats a common occurance.

the corner light is missing as you saw in the pics, do you think that is causing it? i really don't want to deal with this, ugh! this is why i opted for a new truck and payments, so i would not have to waste my time fixing pos rigs daily. i'll check the fuses when the rain stops and its light out.

to test the relay, you'd just have to set up a system where a relay would be used... from my understanding in dealing with relays recently... if i suspected it was a relay that was the problem though, i'd just replace it. they're $6 at radio shack (30amp) and i'm sure toyota wouldn't charge you too much for a denso relay. josh may have an extra laying around in his garage too?...

I dont think its the relay. More likely, when the light was ripped off and the bumper all smashed up, a wire was prolly grounded.

What about the doors, looks like they are dented in pretty heavy? You will need the side markers too...cops dont like when you dont have them on lol.

I would also stay away from Maaco....unless you dont like quality. Me, if I spent $10,000 on a new 4Runner, i would have it painted right heh.
