I don't mean to start another thread on this,but....
...I'm having a hard time accepting. That out of all the guru's here on this web site forum...not "1" person,can help me locate this starter relay!!!!???

Is this the only thing that absoloutly no one knows anything about?

Please read this part very carefully: 1990 TOYOTA 4RUNNER 3VZE
I need some serious,and knowledgable help locating the "STARTER RELAY". If you read my other two threads,you'll know that pretty much the entire truck was completely torn apart and put back together,trying to locate this "STARTER RELAY".
I have the part number (28300-16010) from the stealership. ALL...ALL manuals and stealership insist this thing is on the driver side,under the hood. It's not!!! trust me...it's not!!!

READ THIS PART EVEN CLOSER: IF YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF A "1990" 4RUNNER AND THIS ISSUE,please don't bother chiming in.
I don't wanna know where the relay is on a 94 Yota, or and 86 Yota,your mothers caddy, your grandpas ol chevy pickup,or your boss's Benz relay location. Everyone is giving me locations on every yr,make n model, EXCEPT...the one Im workin on.

I...NEED...HELP!!!

 

If you are asking people to help you, I think you should be a tad nicer in your post. I understand your frustration but when someone is taking time out of their day to help you, you should be a little more grateful.

 

As far as I know, an automatic doesn't have a starter relay, which might explain why he's having trouble finding it.

 

In the fuse box, left kick panel, you have a IGN fuse...IGN=IGNITION and it's 7.5 amp fuse. It's under the 10 amp ENGINE fuse and above the 15 amp TAIL fuse.

In the relay box, (R/B No.2), engine compartment, right, your STARTER RELAY is between your DIMMER RELAY and your main HEADLIGHT RELAY. It is directly under your HEAD (LH-LO,RH-LO) RELAY and HEAD (LH-HI,RH-HI) RELAY.

I took this from my Factory Shop Manuals. Verified on my 91 3.0 V6 automatic, and my buddies 90 3.0 V6 automatic. The 90 is a California 4Runner, my 91 is from here in Washington. The canadian 4runners are the same.

If you pics of each exact location, I will post them. I don't think I can put it into any simpler layman's terms than that......

 

My moms old caddilac had one underneath the dash. Maybe you should look there?

My grampa also had this old chevy pickup....I think that starter relay was somewhere near the left front.

 

LOL

 

I have one also. Changed it out today. Take out the glove box, and it's on the right side. There are two relays and a couple of fuses on a plastic bracket screwed to the body. The starter relay is in the hole behind and underneath them. I know this because I have an occasional "clicker" and you can hear it and feel it click when you hold the relay in your hand.

As it turns out, the relay change didn't make a diff. I've bought a new battery, changed out all the cables, new starter, the works. But boy does it start right up with a jump. I may have to rewire the whole thing. There must be a short somewhere...all I can figure...

 

didn't we learn elsewhere that the auto-trans doesn't have this alleged relay?

 

on the manuals its up on the drivers kick panel by the clutch.dont know about the autos though

 

My is under the hood, behind the battery, in the fusebox labled starter relay.

 

to find the starter relay, one must think like a starter relay....

im curious as to why an auto trans would not have this so called starter relay?
