    Hi, Boricua, Soy de Puerto Rico tambien. Tengo una 2013 Highlander Base v6, No me salen los mismos colores de cables, entiendo que mi guagua es diferente, el módulo es diferente y en la cantidad de plugs que tienen. Tengo una 2013 Toyota Highlander Modelo Base "económica" V6, 3.5Lt Me interesa que me indiques cuales son los cables que debo conectar al el Relay. Si es tan amable, se lo agradezco. Le envie Fotos por email del modulo. Gracias

  • @smartliketruck
    @smartliketruck6 ай бұрын

    @@efgarcia7354 On my Grand Cherokee the signal from the horn switch is actually routed through the CANBUS which then fires the relay to sound the horn. If the switch is stuck the system is smart enough to stop sounding the horn but the constant signal keeps the computer system awake. I just fixed my switch problem by giving a little more clearance between the airbag/switch and the outer cover, the switch itself wasn't the problem. The point of my reply was that simply pulling the fuse or relay may stop the horn from sounding but the problem can continue to manifest itself as a parasitic drain if your horn signal is actually routed through the computer system like in my 2007 GCherokee.
