Anybody know what would cause both the rear wiper/washer and rear power window to stop working at the same time? I've checked all the fuses I can find that have to do with either one of those and can't find anything wrong. I don't think they even have anything in common unless the window isn't...

Does the bottle opener work better than a screwdriver and if so, where do you pry at with it without breaking anything?

What's a paint can opener look like?

Do the clips stick down along the bottom or are they arranged horizontally across the back inside? I can pry the front out a little but it's stuck solid about 2" back.

Mine won't budge!

Do you have to pry under it somewhere to release the clips? The front one is on solid, the rear one will move a little bit but I don't see any way to get it off without breaking it.

So the caps just pop off without breaking?

Are you sure that you are turning them on properly? They will only come on with the high beams unless you install a mod to bypass the HL switch. Otherwise there isn't much to go wrong besides the switch on the stalk and the bulbs themselves.

Does anyone know how to remove the cross bars from the roof rack? If I loosen the clamp screws I can slide them forward and back but I don't see an easy way to get them out without taking the whole thing apart.

The Ham Nation show on Twit.tv has done several segments on antenna installations in different vehicles. None of them were 4Runners but the procedure should be about the same. The last one was so neat that it left no visible wires or equipment anywhere and you can't even tell by looking that...

Mine is also too easy to steer and bumps in the road tend to make it veer off a straight line. Getting the front end aligned helped it a little but I think it needs a steering stabilizer.

Cracked PCV hose?

There's already a blinking alarm light on the dash. Isn't that one big enough?

You can take the coil off and test the windings with an ohmmeter to get a rough idea of it's condition. You'd need to hook it up to a tester and try it out to make sure though. Only way to test something like an ICM is replace it with a known good one or try it on another vehicle that is...

Assuming you aren't stomping on the gas then you have an air leak somewhere you need to fix, probably a cracked rubber hose.
