My 2003 4Runner - Intermittent Wiper Switch Repair...

Here's a link that still seems to work to the latest relay JJMI-12V that should work, this same link was posted above in post #55 by [MENTION=65557]VH2001[/MENTION] the OP of this topic, all credit goes to him and also to [MENTION=55475]jmelan[/MENTION] who found the updated relay part number!!

Thanks. I read that and assumed that last link was the one updated in the PDF, so my mistake.

I did end up ordering a CQ1 relay on eBay. Just had to travel here from Hong Kong now.

Thanks for the updates, AuSeeker!!
 
Awesome thread and fix! Bought the relay off eBay for $12 for two, a soldering kit from Amazon for $20 and spent an hour on this fix. Super easy and it totally worked!!! :clap2: :reddance::reddance::reddance:


Next to connect the front dome lights to the open door relay for a quick mod!
 
Link Dead

Hello All,
I just purchased a 2004 4Runner Limited with the V8, and the intermittent setting on the wipers does not work, the wipers also stop on the wind-shield and do not 'return to home'

Looks like the link to the replacement PDF is dead again, if someone has a copy would they be able to get that over to me. Looking to repair this myself!

Thanks.

EDIT: Looks like this is back up! Thank You!

Here is a link to a PDF I made up, explaining how I repaired the wiper switch on my 2003 4Runner, when the intermittent wiper mode stopped working. This cost me about $20 total, saving me over $100. Check it out...hopefully it helps someone out!

4Runner Wiper Switch Fix

Just updated (05/11/2017)...with new links to parts & tools.

>>> UPDATE 05/14/2018...Instead of me updating the document with new links (as they tend to change frequently),
please read through the thread and see new updated links for the relay and parts. Thanks!!
Could you please re-post the link for some reason it’s not working for me or send it directly for the intermittent wipers fixed thanks in advance
 
Hi! It’s been over a year since I fixed mine, but yes, all you should need is a Phillips head for the steering wheel shroud and to pull the windshield stick off.
 
My daughter now in Denver, snow packed failure, her intermittent stopped working, and they won’t return to park from low or high when turned off. I’m just going to get the whole switch from eBay (NEW GENUINE OEM TOYOTA 4RUNNER FJ CRUISER WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCH 84652-14642 | eBay) and swap when visiting her in a few weeks.

Does the steering column cover and switch come off easily? I won’t have any tools with me...

Easy, 5 screws in total, 3 for the cover and 2 for the switch and one electrical connector.
 
There is a link, in the PDF, to Mouser Electronics for purchasing the relays.
Here is the link... CQ1-12V Panasonic Electric Works General Purpose / Industrial Relays

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to help you, as I'm on the other side of the state, in Western NY. GO BILLS!! :)

Also, to everyone else that has been able to successfully change the relay...CONGRATS!!!
I'm glad I was able to help you guys out...that was my whole mission in throwing the PDF together!!
I just got the idea from other threads and searches (on here and elsewhere)...then did it...and figured I could throw together a PDF.
It's awesome to hear the feedback and that others saved a lot of money too!

Good Luck to All!! :)
I can’t open the URL you gave me, but I found a different URL Jotrin Electronics Limited - Global Electronic Components Distributor
