I was trying today and i was on my way to my house and i tried to turn on my lights but my 94 4runner with a 3.0 just shut off. When I was waiting for a friend to come and give me a jump I noticed this fast ticking nosie was going on when the door was shut and the key was off. but when the key was in the on possition it made no nosie. Also when the ticking was going on if u turned the lights on it slowed the ticking down. then I trired to jump it and it started up then died again and it did this about twice. Any Ideas?

 

yeah..... something is wrong

 

i would start with the obvious. try disconnecting the battery. the relay might be stuck. then start with the fuses. try to isolate were the ticking is coming from and the search function on here might help as well good luck

 

Ya well another twist it doesn't tick anymore but i was trying to put it in my gradge and i was backing up then it died and I when i jumped it it started up and nthen after taking the cables off when i stepped on the breaks it cut off. ya ive been searching around on here

 

i would check the wiring with your lights and the fuses. Could have a short or maybe a bad ground somewhere. Probably going to be a pain to troubleshoot but only thing to do unless someone chimes in that had the same issue and knows the solutions

 

Ya, and i put on some fog lights not to long ago and where i tied into my parking lights it might be shorting out right there maby
