Based on the title of this thread, I thought for sure the first post would be full of typos and virtual slurring. I was mistaken. Thanks for the photos! :)

When two or more devices are connected to a common ground through different paths, a ground loop occurs. Currents flow through these multiple paths and develop voltages which can cause damage, noise or 50Hz/60Hz hum in audio or video equipment. To prevent ground loops, all signal grounds need to...

Stop listening to emo bands. In all seriousness though, you have a ground loop. I would try the warranty first, if its the factory auxiliary in it should be covered.

I forget what they are called. When I went in for mine I told them it was the bulbs for the backlighting on the clock/trip computer. They pulled up a diagram and I pointed them out on the diagram. Since you've had it apart that should probably work for you too.

There are replaceable bulbs you can buy at the dealer. They are a couple bucks each. Sometimes the bulb that is in there can vibrate loose and not make contact so you may want to check and make sure before replacing. It's been a while since I had mine apart but I believe you just open the...

It fits the OEM button cutouts in the 4Runner just fine. Many have used them with no problem.

All I know is ball...and good...and RAPE. lol Already done lol!

Back from the dealer. Balancing is corrected. And.. They are ordering FOUR new wheels for me. :bigok:

Thank you for everyone's input. I go in today to have the balancing corrected and to inquire about the wheels. While I expected some amount of corrosion on the wheels K.C., my photos show freshly marred metal beneath the finish in photo 1, and cleanly scraped paint on the other two. Photos 2...
