Hey! Thank you very much for sharing your video. Even as a mechanic with years of experience, just seeing what is in there is all I need. Years ago you needed to at the least buy the Haynes or Chilton's services manual. Now you just need to find the right channel on TH-cam. Videos like this are the new Alldata. Thanks again and take care!
Okay I'm confused how does removing the bolts in the front allow the seats to be flipped forward from the rear? I'm looking at the front underneath the rear seats and I see the bolts, but since those bolts are in the front how would they prevent the seat from lifting forward if they're not removed? Mine is a 98.
Very nice, I was hoping for an access port. I thought I'd check YT before I subletted it out, now I won't. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Cha'chinng!
HI, did you end up finding the whole fuel pump assembly? i'm getting an error P0171. I also have a 98 and all i see are separated parts as well?? I'm patiently searching for the whole assembly, since I don't know what all parts need to be changed. I'm having a go at replacing it myself. :)
@@LonnieJohnson1 Thank you very much Sir!!!! My 1998 Rav4 has 340,000 miles and I'd like to drive it forever. Sometimes is overwhelming when I spend $800 in timing belt then couple months later something else breaks/goes wrong LOL I understand is an old car and some of the things I never heard of will break at some point. LOL I just want my Rav4 running like a clock
Does this applies also on 2005 Toyota Isis?? I mean my fuel gauge doesn't work. if I full the tank the gauge stuck on half tank. I need to open my fuel pump but I don't know where is the pump located??
I successfully replaced my fuel pump but now I have fuel leaking from the fuel line. The hard line that has the bolt. I made sure to put the little washers back the way they came off but it still leaks. What can I do?
Hey, I have exactly the same car as this one (even same colors he he)...I bought it with 96k on it and now have 215K Do I need to replace fuel pump/filter? I don't really fill any weakness at this point. I did scheduled repairs at 200K and the mechanic i went to told me not to bother with the pump. And do I understand comments correctly - it says that fuel filter is in different location from what you show here in this video? Do I need to replace filter? Thanks in advance! Nice to see same car!
Hi Lonnie my wife drives 2002 rave4 edge and having fuel gauge problem. if I full the tank the gauge stuck on half tank and shows empty while still fuel is nearly quarter tank. any hints to fix this problem, Thanks
+L Naidu Pull the fuel pump out of the tank and it should be connected to your float system. See if the float is stuck; you can also move the float up and down while watching the fuel gauge to see if it is working properly.
My 2002 RAV4 just won't start. I filled up my tank with gas and when I jump back in and tried to start it, it won't start. The engine cranks but won't turn over. I'm thinking it's the fuel pump. Do you have to bring down the tank to do the fuel pump? Or is it the same style as the one in the video.
Not sure, but you shouldn't have to drop the tank. You should be able to get to it from the top. Hopefully Toyota didn't make the newer models more difficult. You can also remove the air filter and spray WD-40 or starting fluid in the intake to see it starts or fires. If it fires or starts, then you're not getting any fuel.
Check the fuses and if that's not the problem then you can check the sending unit at the float by using a meter. The last thing I would look at is the stepper motor that's in the dash cluster.
I have a 2003 Rav4 that started having a fuel gauge problem yesterday. Anyone know if I can get to my sending unit/float this way? I will have to check. Otherwise I'm looking at dropping the exhaust and drive shaft to get the tank out before I can access anything
Thanks. I had to order a sending unit but will have it Monday. It seems my Rav4 has 2 sending units, one on each side, a primary and a secondary. I have the primary ordered. I think the other is available through Toyota only! Did not know about a stepper motor! Process of elimination at this point since I am not sure how to test nor have the tools to do so!
That's a lot for just the fuel gauge. Your right, process of elimination is all you can do. With all the different electrical sensors and parts now days. I think they are trying to make it impossible for a person to be able to work on their own vehicle. Good luck. Stepper motor will be last resort.
Upon further inspection it seems I do have access to it through a hole in the floor so nowhere near what I was expecting, whew! Boy I hate running out of gas. Haven't lately but I have before and it is not any fun! Thanks!
After taking the clamp off my hose just pulled right off. Your hose must have been rusted on. Just twist it with a pair of pliers to break it free and it should pull right off.
Straight and to the point. No extra bs. Did this job today with the help of your video. Thank you!
You're welcome
I love you so much… holy crap. You have no idea how long I’ve been messing with these seats
I hope it shows you everything you need to see to get you back up and running.

You're welcome, and I know what you mean, I still have some of those repair manuals in my book shelf on different vehicles.
Just an outstanding vid, this is how all instructional videos should be. Nice job
Great job with the filming and description. Thanks!

The seats have a latch in the back. Flip the the seat forward and remove the bolts and left it out.

Thanks man i got a denso pump ready to install but the original since 1997 it refuses go die
It will sooner or later.
2000 Toyota rav 4 gas gate shows dead empty tank is tank is pulled to the neck is it the float or the gauge
I would check the fuse r loose wire, then the float. The other thing it could be is the fuel stepper motor.
I know its been some time but where would i find the fuel pump assembly? Im struggling to find that part
Type the link below into the search bar in Amazon (2000 toyota rav4 fuel pump assembly) and let me know if it helps.

How to tested the fuel pump see it works or no ! And how you service the pump if needed to replace it ?
Pull it out and put it in water to be safe and then jump it with a 12v battery to see if it pumps.
Nice video and very useful, thank you!
Awesome video.
Keep up with Great Job Sir!!!
Thanks! and sure will do my best to make jobs easy.

Soon it will be tax exempt, it's already a classic.

+anwar aljabry I have never removed a fuel pump from a 2005.
I successfully replaced my fuel pump but now I have fuel leaking from the fuel line. The hard line that has the bolt. I made sure to put the little washers back the way they came off but it still leaks. What can I do?
Is it tight enough? Did you cross thread it?
@@LonnieJohnson1 I cranked it down pretty tight. No cross threading, it went in real easy and comes out easy once you break the threads.
You might have to change the washer or turn it over.
We are having the same issue, any other advice on how to stop the fuel leak?

@@LonnieJohnson1 do you know where the fuse is for the fuel pump
Under the hood you have a relay R7
I would like to know how the sensor level work in the fuel tank please
It has a float, just make sure it's not stuck. You can move the float by hand and watch the fuel gauge to see if it works.
LonnieJohnson1 the fuel gauge didn't work
Check the fuses and if that's not the problem then you can check the sending unit at the float by using a meter. The last thing I would look at is the stepper motor that's in the dash cluster.
what was wrong with the sending unit gauge ?
It would be nice if you explained what was wrong with it and how to fix it we know how to put it back in You skip the part where your gauge don't work
This is a video on how to get the fuel pump out. There is nothing wrong with my pump or gauge.
I have a 2003 Rav4 that started having a fuel gauge problem yesterday. Anyone know if I can get to my sending unit/float this way? I will have to check. Otherwise I'm looking at dropping the exhaust and drive shaft to get the tank out before I can access anything
The sending unit is in with the fuel pump. I would check that first. It could also be your stepper motor in the dash.

I have 1999 rav4 engine crank but it not start. I will check the pump or replace .... thanks
Glad to help
Thanks
Wait, there are two more screws you forgot to put back in - very important ones!!!
Otherwise a very nice video, I might add.
Where!!!
Exc vídeo
Thanks!
Zoom in!!
Why not show how to pry the hose off. This guy skip so much important stuff.
After taking the clamp off my hose just pulled right off. Your hose must have been rusted on. Just twist it with a pair of pliers to break it free and it should pull right off.
Couldn't see ware the pump fit too dammit waste of my dam time
?
