Rheostat troubles

Post by Caretaker »

My 2003's rheostat is giving me trouble. You can wiggle the dial left and right just a bit, causing the lights to flicker. My mechanic wanted $110 to put one in. It was too simple to take it out and unplug it, so I did it myself. $31 for a new one on-line delivered. Thanks to all of you who directed me to the GM Wholesale Parts website. http://www.gmpartsdistributor....13761I probably should have looked at a similar Toyota website, since you've all been stating for sometime that Toyota part suppliers can often be cheaper than GM part supliers. Anyone out there know of a good one?

In this case you made out better, $93 for the rheostat through Toyota World
