You need to remove the instrument cluster assembly. You have to remove the cover on the steering column, and then the fascia, in front of the cluster. Next, remove the 4 screws that holds the cluster to the dash. Pull the cluster out, and remove the witing connectors. The bulbs are accessible from the back of the cluster. The bulb replacement can not be done 'from under the dash'.

If there is no "clicking noises" at all first you have to bypass the Clutch Start Switch. To do so remove two wires from the Start Switch and connect them together.
If it doesn't work trouble shoot starter and solenoid. With a wire connected to (+) terminal of the battery power up the solenoid, at the thin wire contact of the starter. You need another person to help you, in the cabin turning the ignition key in ON and start position. If starter and solenoid are O.K this will start your car. If not you have to replace the starter + solenoid assembly. Good Luck.

Hello. Welcome to FixYa. Please allow me to assist you.

The best service you can give your transmission is as follows: Drain and refill the transmission at 30,000 miles. Flush the transmission at 60,000 miles, drain and refill at 90,000, and flush it again at 120,000 miles. That is the same recommendation that I give my customers in our Toyota service department. Following that maintenance schedule, we do not have any transmission failures.

Thanks for choosing FixYa today. I hope that my assistance proves truly useful to you. If so, a 4 thumbs rating for my input would be very nice of you.

The slave cylinder in these trucks makes the clutch non adjustable. If you have a soft clutch pedal which goes to the floor and can not shift as easy as it used to the slave cylinder is low on fluid or weak. Check the reservoir of the slave cylinder to see if its full. If low fill it with the recommended Power Steering fluid which is DOT3 approved I do beleive and pump the clutch pedal about 25 times with the engine off. The clutch should operate correctly. If it tends to get worse the slave cylinder needs to be replaced

change o2 sensor. Be careful, sometimes they seize at the threads.

If the motor has a moulded plastic cover over the top of the engine try removing it and looking underneath, a lot of the cars spark plugs are covered by these covers just for looks.
The spark plugs will most probably be under rubber weather caps which have the leads running to them, you have to remove them to gain access to the plugs
Hope this helps
