Denny -

You are more than capable - why not just bite the bullet and install an isolator relay? They are readily available and easy to install. Probably would take less time than all the go-arounds you had with Toyota.

My Explorer has an isolator relay as part of the factory towing package. I think it is great - I never have to worry. I don't think I would want a diode isolator. I've never understood why they don't result in an undercharged battery, although I'd like to be educated.

If you have questions, e-mail me privately.
