Hey All, Bob from West Chester, Pennsylvania.
I got some odd electrical issues happening with my 1998 Rav4, 4 door, US Market. I have an issue where I can start my car, but not everything is working. No power windows, No AC, No turning signals, Car wont shift out of park (without manually doing so). I am getting power, as i can start and some systems are working such as horn, power locks, interior cabin lights.
Some work I have done is replaced the alternator with a new one. I have replaced the battery with a new one. I have checked all fuses, and found nothing blown, but replaced the three main ones by the battery with new ones anyway (just in case, but no luck). I have replaced the negative battery cable, and I have no corrosive leads. And I am still having the same issue.
I am seeing on some forums discussion about the ECU and i am wondering if that is a possibility.
Where is the location of the ECU in a 1998 toyota rav4? US market.
I have seen other videos, and forums but the 4 inch X 2inch square box does not seem to be behind or under the glove box passenger side.
I have taken off the panels and removed glove box, and nothing matches that description in those locations.
Can anyone help with the location of the ECU, or provide advice on what else may be causing these issues. They ALL happened at the same time, so i believe they are related. Any actual help would be appreciated.
