it happens to many people, but say, with teh power mirrors, or teh windows, or the fans, or the heater.

sorry, all i can tell you is that yoru not alone, dont have a clue what causes it or how to fix it, not willing to take a stab in the dark for it, even if i think i got a pretty good guess.

we are still trying to decide whats best for my buddies 4runner, which has alternator whine and noise with the power mirrors.

EMI, (electromagnetic interferiance) or however it's spelled.
Just use shielded wire when going by stuff like thatt and you'll be good, It's usually better to avid it all together if you can,
Oterwise I think you can use filters (u can get em at radio shack, or some audio places)

Good Luck![IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

I would think it has something to do with the cact that our mesh antenna is attached to same back window as the defroster.

I like the look of a real antenna, but I love to listen to sports talk readio...and there are so many resons not to have the antenna as part of the back window!
