For a 12 year old truck that's not too long of a list, congratulations on your purchase.

Not to long of a list... when I bought mine a couple of years ago, the list was much longer!

I can speak for the rear wiper problem. Mine sometimes doesn't work, but if I leave the key on, and the rear wiper switch on all the way, I can go to the back of the truck and try to jiggle the wiper arm. Most of the time, this does the trick. If not, try again another day, and hopefully it will work. Also, if either the door or the glass are open (or the door switch things they're open) the rear wiper won't work.

The other issue is that is starts and then gets stuck in the crack between the door and the glass. I lowered the glass all the way down (there's to star headed bolts on the inside) and then I actually put a couple of clips on the bottom of the glass to bridge the gap! Not exactly pretty, but it works and isn't too noticeable.

When I was having wiper problems, the front would wipe but not wash, and the back would squirt fluid, and not wipe! Eventually both seemed to fix themselves.

1: check fuses, and connectors
2: the pop could be the inner tierods, or the steering intermediate shaft, have somebody turn the wheel while you are looking for what moves.
3: Take off door panel, and check connectios
4:Mine does that oo, not sure why yet
5: All wipers are horrible, pain in the butt to fix to.
6: there is a splice that goes bad, there are threads about it.
7: where does it seem to come from, maybe a heat sheild for the exhause, or a cat has failed.
8: no clue.

• Power side mirrors don’t work
Fuse, switch, connector in that order
• When steering I feel a ‘pop’
• Window button on passenger side doesn’t work
Switch itself; broken wire in door bundle.
• Entire car vibrates at high speeds and when slowing down
• Rear window wiper doesn’t work
• Cant unlock driver door from passenger side
If unlock works from rear switch and remote, look for broken wire in door bundle. May be related to pass window switch problem.
