Take the whole stalk off, disassemble and clean.

If it's functional and responds to a bit of a flick it's probably just gungey.

Thanks for the tip Rynex.  Would need someone else to do it for me tho.  .

 Thanks Mike, I'll keep that in mind 

We got to 300k a couple of days ago.  She was at almost 200k when I bought her in September 2012.
 

It's great to see that you have been driving it a lot. There are so many cars that are rarely driven...

Silly wiper/washer finally gave up today.  She was at mechanic for servicing & they called to let me know the wipers wouldn't stop.  I laughed & said yeah she does that sometimes.  When I get there to pick her up, he put the fuse back in so I could use my "special flick".  Nope they wouldn't stop.
 
So I guess I need the washer/wiper stalk.  

It's been a while since I updated...................
Got a replacement wiper/washer stalk & had it replaced.  Yay, works properly now.
No problems in the last 12 months.  
Getting ready for re-spray next month for our 10 year anniversary. 
Purchased new seals, new door belt mouldings, S/S anniversary sill trims, reproduction mud flaps & Engine lid gas strut.  Have had a gen 3 lip sitting under the bed for about 4 years.
 
 

Looking forward to see the new paint job. 

Some progress pics.

Getting closer.
 
Unfortunately not ready for the Christmast break.  But I told them I prefer them not to rush just to get her out the door.
 
 

Looks great Shazza! 

Soooonnn. They said I could have brought her home this weekend & then taken back, but the weather forecast isn't very good, so decided to wait.
 
Just a few little bits to do & small parts to source, most of which they could have told me about weeks ago, but ah well..............  They forgot that I said I would be happy to go badgless on the rear because those badges are out of production from Toyota.  Too late to fill the holes.  Found 2 new (old stock) in pack on e-bay.  1 for $500USD, lol & one for $14GBP from UK .  Drivers side triangle vent behind quarter window.  Josh Burton came through with one that still has all tabs 
 
She is looking very pretty.  Clear lights look good.  I wasn't sure if the lip would look like it belonged there, but it looks great.  The new seals went on easier than they expected & they made sure she doesn't leak.  One sat in the car while another used the hose.  Doors close a bit tighter now, and they have assured me that no water is getting in.
 
Not letting myself get too excited, but it's looking good to have her home next weekend.  Be prepared for lots of pics
