    I need help. My 4runner power windows are not working. It also will not shift out of park. I keep blowing the first 10 amp fuse. I took it to the garage and they said they thought it had to do with the antenna motor not working. They unhooked the antenna motor and the fuse did not blow while they were working on it at the garage. I took it out today for work and the same problem happened, fuse blew, windows not working and could not shift out of park. Has anyone had this problem before? How can it be fixed?

    There is a solenoid that changes position electrically when you put your foot on the brake pedal. That solenoid is what prevents a child from moving the shifter out of park (safety system).
    That solenoid isn't going to last forever. For troubleshooting purposes, I would unplug the solenoid and drive it for a few days and see if your problem goes away.

    Remember, a fuse doesn't blow for no reason.

    When you unplug the solenoid, check it for a short and check the wiring for a short.
