    I have a 2004 tundra 4x4. When in 4x4 low and high, there is a clicking that sounds like something trying to engage and at the same time there is a resistance felt. This also happens in 2wd when pulling off a slight incline, after coming to a stop then taking off and also when in reverse. When this happens, the truck will not accelerate even when pushing it to the floor. But if I let off the pedal and push it again it will accelerate and the clicking stops. The resistance almost feels like power braking. This all happens when turning the wheel either way. No warning lights are coming on and no codes showing. The clicking noise sounds like it is coming from inside the dash on derivers side. You cant hear it from outside the truck. The acceleration problem also happens after coming to a stop then taking off again without a clicking noise. Again, if I let off the gas and accelerate it will take off and runs great. Any help would be appreciated.

    First thing to check, click all my links in the couple of replies here to see what you’re looking for under the dash. The symptoms of “accelerator pedal doing nothing” and “noise in dash” reeks of “you have water getting into your dash, and it’s probably corroded a couple of power connectors, and possibly gotten into the fuse box as well”: https://www.tundras.com/threads/02-etcs-actuator-ground-location.99313/#post-3913132

    A lot of people will see “clicking” and “4WD” and go to CV axle. I don’t think that’s the problem here if clicking is in the dash. Clicking is the sound relays make. You have relays in the dash.

    I’m stuck on mobile at the moment so I can’t mark up the picture I want to. May come back and add it later when my internet is back up again.

    When you push the gas and the truck does not move, does the engine rev up? or just nothing is happening at all.
