Expert Reply:
I spoke with my contact at Tekonsha, and the problem is most likely a bad connection from your Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 to your 2008 Toyota 4Runner.
If you have the Plug-In Wiring Adapter, then you should start by replacing that. It is listed on our site as part # 3040-P.
The other option is if the P3 was hardwired in using a pigtail like part # 20127. If the connector was hardwired in then you will want to replace that instead. You can use Butt Connectors # DW05745-5 to help accomplish that.
If you are still experiencing trouble after getting a new connector let me know and I can help you troubleshoot further.
