thank you all the instructions worked great
i really appreciate it!!!!

This might be to late.. But you shouldn't need to 'cut' any wires. I'm sure most the toyota's are the same. On my Dad's '01 Runner and his new Sequoia there is a box which is about the size of a pack of cigerettes (From memory) which you can just unplug. The box is located in the engine compartment on the drivers side inner quarter pannel towards the front. What we've had to do is move the batter (slide it) in order to reach this item. The box will sort of look like a small amplifier with maybe 7 heat sync's on it. For each of his vehicles we just unplugged this and the DRL's are disabled.

I am sorry have a '97 4runner otherwise I would try and get teh measurements of this little device..

Hope this is able to help anyone else if you have already decided to 'cut' wires..

Edit to above information 1/12/04 I spoke to dad and how he described it there are two wires that come off the battery to an automotive electrical plug by the fender. On his sequioa he disconnected this to disable the DRL's the 4runner was VERY similiar. If someone needs a picture of this feel free to email me at thumpper_73@yahoo.com

Ok I know this thread is OLD but was looking around and came across a site that shows how to do this on a 2003 Sequoia. You will/would need to do the same thing on a 2001 4runner for the location of the plug/gizmo is in the same spot.

Rob,

Apparently, not all 2001 4Runners are the same. My '01 definitely does not have the plug that you are referring to. Unfortunately, I had to cut the wire to the relay assembly under the dash. This works, but causes the high-beam indicator on the dash to flicker intermittently, which is annoying.

I wish my runner had this plug, it would have been so much simpler.

Thanks.

ya, and on at least 3 2000's disconnecting that box does abolutely nothing. I dont' know why it works on some models but not others.
