1998 Toyota RAV4 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Fix the leak first. Under pressure that will spray everywhere and douse the electrics.

The cheapest solution is to replace the a/c clutch without servicing the a/c. Just leave the a/c off. Even with a bad compressor the clutch will still serve as the idler.

Check on the differential housing. If it's "by wire", it's most likely there. There would be a wiring harness or wire on the sensor that just snaps on.

There is a ground wire on the back of the dash cluster that may be broken, you'll have to remove the dash cluster (phillips screwdriver and tabs) and check it with a multimeter. ( 0 ohms from a known good ground is perfect).

try the owner manual.

check the ignition itself

check EGR

You have the condition diagnosed to find out what part is malfunctioning. It could be a simple sensor unplugged or failed. Either way, it is not functioning and should you need it someone may get hurt. Have it looked at. It's worth the price, no matter what anyone says. My friend let his new wife drive his car with a failed Air bag light on, got in a wreck and was killed. Get it fixed. Please. My friend is living in a different world of mental pain knowing he should have fixed it.

a rav 4 is a toyota product of small to medium size range many parts are interchangeable between toyota vehicles of the same size the best idea is to work the wreckers for toyota with a list of parts required and see the parts for yourself

The tract or cables are broken. High dollar fix. Remove the fuse and forget about it. If it does engage and opens partially, you have water mess in the vehicle.

How long has the clutch been in the vehicle the do wear out and that can cause these kinds of problems

If it's hydraulic clutch, meaning there is a small oil reservoir in the engine compartment, then no as those clutches are self adjusting. Given the year of the vehicle, I do believe that it is hydraulic. What do you mean by the clutch is not shifting easily, is the pedal stiff or is the clutch not engaging smoothly?

Under the hood

Hi. The Rav is all time 4x4 it cannot be changed.

ok you can try cleaning it up and if that dont work replace it and what you could do too is check your fuel pressure and i would replace the coolant temp/sensor as well that may be your problem

ok if you can do it yourself remove the door panel and take a look at whats happening in the door by hooking back up the window switch and press up or down and try see what the problem is then put the glass in a position to remove the two ten millimeter screws,you may have to change the regulator,if not put the glass back in the track and check to see if it works properly,what you can do to is put some cup grease if you dont have cup grease you can use hair grease so it slides up and down freely ok
