Mine did the exact same thing. I disconnected the battery and reinitialized the windows....this completely solved the problem. I think the connection was loose, which caused the intermittent radio and wiper issues. Hopefully this fixes your issue...

I'm really particular about the minor scratches and chips that occur on my cars, so I was actually pleasantly surprised how well it covered the front bumper chips and road rash. I can't say it was 100% but there were a few chips that really did blend in so well that I couldn't spot them anymore...

I've had good results with dr. color chip. Dr.ColorChip Custom Automotive Touch-Up Paint Kit - Dr. ColorChip: Automotive Paint Chip Repair Systems

update here's an update...I disconnected my battery and reinitialized the windows. My rear window wiper is no longer turning on when I start my truck. I'm hoping this fixed it!

not good news for me. that sucks...but thanks guys.

Thanks for the suggestions. Stupid question, but does anyone know where the relay for the rear wiper is? what about the fuse that controls it? I checked the manual out and pulled several different ones but couldn't find the right one. :shrug:

Everytime I start my truck (2006 v6 limited 4wd) the rear wiper turns on and wipes once. I don't remember it or my previous 2003 4runner doing this before. Does anyone else's do this? I don't wanna take a trip to the stealership for something that seems minor but annoying. Any ideas?? Btw, the...

No, I haven't changed my battery recently but I've also started noticing my radio and the compass on my rear view mirror momentarily go off while driving. This is all really strange. I've checked my fuses and they are okay. I'm going to disconnect my battery and hope this will fix the electrical...

anyone?

For the past few days, I have noticed that my rear wiper will wipe one time immediately after starting my truck...but not all the time. This isn't normal is it? I've made sure that my wiper is in the off position on the control stalk, yet it still happens. Otherwise, the wiper works fine when I...

http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/tsb/tsbsearch.cfm Just fill out the vehicle year, model, etc. It will give you a listing of the TSBs and the texts for some of them. I had the same problem as you. Thankfully, all that was needed was some grease to the seat rails.

I think the dealer can give you a better price. How much was the sticker price? I was able to get my 03 V8 LTD 4WD with everything except nav and air suspension for 35K (sticker was 40K), and I think others were able to get their 4R's even cheaper (relative to their sticker prices). Good Luck...

BK20, The 4Runners with the i-force badges you've been seeing in the forum were done by the owners. They bought the emblems from dealerships, online, etc and and placed them on the rigs...nice touch, huh? I think you were supposed to receive a trailer plug...mine was included in the glove...

Glad you found one...I didn't expect it to be so cheap considering you bought it from the dealership. davisc23 posted a pic in the gallery section under "Sticky: 03/04 4runners picture thread " with his i-force v8 emblem. I think that looks good too :bigok:

Sorry to hear about your leaky moonroof...luckily for me, I haven't had that problem, even when I left my rig out during hurricane Isabel's visit...man, did it pour! the only probs have been minor so far, like the rattling moonroof and squeaky driver seat, both of which have been addressed (so...
