    Re: Relay And Circuit Breaker Layout

    I've never touched them, but believe they are right in front of the drivers right knee directly behind an immovable part of the dashboard. You can find the relays with your fingertips by reaching...

    Re: Sliding door fix

    My door was a bit different (maybe because the initial instructions were for a Previa). On my '87 LE no interior trim removal was required. The end piece of the middle slider track was held on by a...
