Right... found a wiring diagram for the truck and power lock/unlock wires are blue/white and blue/yellow, if this diagram is accurate. But the harness on the alarm looks fine (inserted solidly). It could be some splices have become fnarkled while I pushed wiring around looking for a starter relay! Hopefully disconnecting the battery for 30 min will reset it, as the alarm is acting weird in other ways in ways. When I turn the it on, I get two weird clicks from the dash area, which I have never heard the alarm make before, and then the LED flashes like the alarm is on, but when I opened the door, nothing happened. Then a few minutes later, doing basically the same thing, I opened the door and the alarm DID go off, and the keyfob turned it off, but it's still not controlling the door locks. Not sure if maybe my keyfobs lost their programming or what. In the meantime I am off to read the Viper manual again so see if I can figure out what's happening while the battery sits disconnected... But I am STILL HAPPY. :)

From: Susan on 9 Oct 2009 17:10 From researching bebuilding the starter it became clear the rebuild is simple -- it's removing the starter that's not fun. I found excellent instructions for a 1991 4Runner 3VZE (everything should be the same as my truck for this job) here: http://www.yotatech.com/f128/starter-replacement-2nd-gen-4runner-76358/ ....and I was tempted. After sleeping on it overnight, I decided to call the auto shop to ask what they charge, figuring if it was around $200 bucks, I'd save myself the aggrivation. (I was more worried about getting the starter BACK IN, as those retaining bolts are not easy to get to from the sound/look of it... I pictured myself on my back with a bolt precariously balanced on the end of a 2-foot extension, in a swivel joint, trying to line it up to start the first few threads, and hearing the CLINK as it drops down through the wishbones for the 40th time in a row...) They charge $225, so I dropped it off. I'm not proud, but my truck is probably relieved.
