Good news and Bad News about the "MIST" feature on the Wipers
I finally got around to trying to retrofit a wiper switch from another Toyota. the one I got was out of a 06-07 Highlander. the wiper switch is very slightly different in size. even the wiper stalk is exactly the same.
BAD NEWS: after taking my 4runner column apart I found that it will not bolt up as most Toyotas have separate switches from the housing, the 4runners have the switches built into a bolt on bracket. they unbolt from the bracket.
GOOD NEWS: after plugging in the highlander switch the "mist" feature worked along with everything else: delay, rear wiper, washers, low and high. I tried to possibly switch out the guts of the 4runner to the highlander switch and it will not work.
im still determined to make this work somehow. I have no pics as I was loosing sunlight.
I will keep all updated.
