    Wipers Don't Work On High/Fast

    My wipers work on low/slow but not on high/fast. Is there a fix or do I have to replace something? I just fixed the pass door electric window up problem by just cleaning off the contacts, they were carboned over.

    No AC System Low?

    The ac doesn't work well when it get in the 90's+ range. It could of been that last year the R134a was low and that was the problem. I read that R12 is cooler in a R12 system than a R134a in a R12 system but the info could be wrong. I think this...

    No AC System Low?

    Ordered and got 2 cans of R12, can of oil and set of used gauges. Went to check pressure and :cry: the last owner converted to R134a. Threw a can of R134a and a can of oil and it works. Can I go convert back to R12? How do I get the oil out? What do I change?

    No AC System Low?

    Went to a shop and they want $350+ just to start just looking at it. Took it to a nondealer Toyota shop and he said it leaks out over time and most likely it will only need just ounces of R12. He said I might need oil too. I found some R12 gauges and a place that sell R12 (its not illegal to...

    No AC System Low?

    Last year the ac worked but was not as cold as it should of been. I just tried it now and it doesn't work, compressor doesn't kick on. I checked to see if there was still R12 in the system and there is still pressure at the valve. I assume if there was a leak, there would be no pressure. Is...

    My stock radio just started to work on the driver side. Thought it was the speaker but the LED lights on the EQ only light up on the driver side. Is there a fix or is it toast?

    Coolant Change...Stuck Drain Plug

    Got the cock assembly off. The brass plug head is chewed up but will still hold water. What do I use to seal the cock ass.? I have the liquid thread sealant that is used in place of Teflon tape. It says its for steam, are natural gas, so it should be ok for the cock ass, right?

    Coolant Change...Stuck Drain Plug

    The drain plug will not turn but the drain cock does. Do I just remove the drain cock assembly and remove the plug off the vehicle? What do I seal the cock assembly with? OR should I just tighten up the cock and leave well enough alone?

    Coolant Change...Stuck Drain Plug

    I tried to remove the block drain plug but its tight/stuck? How much pressure do I put on it before it breaks? If I can't get it off, can I just drain and fill coolant via the rad until it comes out clear then just add the correct amount of coolant to make it a 50/50 mix?

    Sun Visor Repair

    I called a Toyota parts guru who is a parts manager at a Toyota dealer. He told me that the part has been discontinued for so long that it doesn't even have a part number any more (he may of meant an updated parts number). If the part can be ordered I am sure he would like to know how to do it...
