Back Windshild Wiper

[4RUN07]

Couple things...

#1 - I've noticed that lately when I start my car... My rear windshield wiper turns on, swipes the window once, an turns back off. The switch on my steering wheel is off. I AM out of windshield wiper fluid. Is this an automatic function when fluid is out or do I have a short somewhere?

#2 - Where can I buy a new wiper blade for the back? Awkward size and walmart doesn't sell it... Auto zone? Expensive?

Like I said Before

That is not normal

about $30 at Toyota if i recall correctly.. not really any other good options. I think the OEM part number is on here someplace as well as an online supplier that may save you a few bucks.

Just responed to your battery thread. They are the same problem.

#1. Replace your battery and this will go away. I just had this happen to me. I replaced my battery and its gone. Every time I started my 4runner the rear wiper would make one swipe. I searched on here to see if this happened to anyone else and it has. When your battery gets a low charge for some reason the rear wiper turns on once. Members on here don't know if its a warning Toyota did or if its just one of those things. Also after you replace the battery you will have to reset your automatic window sensors on the drivers side and rear. That and my rear defrost and recirc. button took a minute for the computer to "reread", but all works good now. Good luck!

#2. Any auto parts store should have one. Probably around $15.
