    **How To Change 5th Gen Factory Wiper Blade Inserts - Pictorial

    Just got the OEM Toyota insert for my rear wiper and it took about a couple of minutes to change. Just turn the rear wiper on and turn the key off when the wiper is pointing down. Then just pull arm back a little and slide the old insert out. Take the two metal slides off the old insert and put...

    **How To Change 5th Gen Factory Wiper Blade Inserts - Pictorial

    Excellent write up! My factory wiper blades started streaking after about 38,000 miles, so I started looking at replacing the front wiper blades. I read all the reviews on different brands and all the posts I could find on this forum. I decided to just replace the factory inserts since the...

    Rear wiper/washer suddenly not working

    My back wiper stopped working a while back and I had just forgotten about it when I took it to the dealer for an oil change. Well after I got it back after the oil change, I tried the wiper a few days later and it was working. I was thinking how great it was the dealer had fixed it for free. So...

    I used a solder station set around 520 degrees and used .032" rosin core solder. I didn't use flux either. Have you checked the ribbon cable going to the control? I would try reseating it and see what happens.

    There is an led under the ignition ring. If you pull off the lower dash, you will see it. I had some black tape I had to pull off to see it. Be careful as there is some very thin wire going around the ring where the key goes. I am going to do mine once I figure out how to get to the led.

    I used 3mm but I would think 5mm should work also. I recommend using the 3mm instead of the 5mm because even with the 3mm it is really bright. What I did was use a 9volt battery with a couple wires taped to the positive and negative terminals. I then soldered a 50 ohm resister to the positive...

    DIY: Interior LED swap (cluster, HVAC, switches, window, *steering wheel)

    I did my HVAC controls, rear window and 4x4 switch this weekend. I did the arrows for High and Auto in Red and the AC in blue. The rest of the arrows are white. I also did red for the rear defrost and recirc buttons. If you look close, you can see I did the air bag ON light in blue. I am going...
