Dandeman, thanks for the reply. I have had this 4runner since 1986. It has 326,000+ miles. I used it as a daily driver and hunting truck until 2002. I use it for hunting now and it gets a lot of time in the woods. It is in the mud and goes through some creeks from time to time but I do not that it out just to go mudding. It has never been in a flood but I have had water get inside when I go through some creeks to get to my hunting spots. I have had one bad crash and it was up in the front. It is bone stock except for 3ö taller springs and shocks. I run 31/10.50 BFGs on it. I have never had a problem with the battery getting drawn down until I had to replace the starter about a month ago. I knew I should have just put some new brushes it the original starter but I went ahead and bought a rebuilt starter from the local parts store. I do not know how to test the starter but it seems to work properly. I had my son pull the fuses one at a time while I had the amp meter hooked up in between the negative battery cable and the negative post of the battery. The key was off and the doors were closed. Nothing was on when my son started to pull the fuses. I had a reading of 10.95amps before the first fuse was pulled. The only fuse inside the truck that dropped the amps was the dome fuse. When my son pulled it the meter dropped to 10.87. Next, I started pulling the fuses under the hood and when I pulled the (10amp) HAZ/HORN fuse the meter dropped to 0.14. This made me think that my problem is some where in this system. I have gone over the wires but have not found a broken or bare wire. I unplugged the front blinkers and put the fuse back in place. The amp meter went back up to 10.87amps. I never did unplug the back blinkers so I will do that tomorrow. Maybe it has something going on in the tail lights If that does not help I think my next step is to remove the fuse block and see if something is going on under it. I am just learning about finding electrical problems so I really do not know how to use the amp meter to its fullest potential and that is making it hard to do some real trouble shooting. If you could give me some advise on checking the starter it might be a big help. Common sense tells me it is a bad starter because I never had this problem until I changed it, but it is working well and the battery did not go dead for 3 weeks after I replaced the starter. The amp meter says it is something to do with the hazard lights or the horn and I have not been able to find a bad wire. I love this old truck and need to get it back to being reliable. It had been such a great truck that I bought a 2000 4runner in 2002. I bought a 2002 4runner for my son back in September. My wife drives a 2005 4runner. They are all 4 wheel drive and I have never had a problem out of any of my Toyotas until this happened to the 84. My girl wanted a car so I bought her a 2005 Camry SE and it seems like it is going to be a good car. I would appreciate any suggestions you have that might help me find this problem. Thanks
