Planning to buy a used FJ-09

Switch: one of the 2 leads wasn't connected. So fixed in a few seconds. I might look into securing things a little better (weather wise) by removing them and adding some heat shrink tubing a little higher, and/or using some self-fusing silicon tape to wrap around. 

 
Glad to hear that it was a simple fix and you didn't need to take it back to the dealer.
 
 
In typical PNW fashion, summer starts AFTER July 4th, get out there and enjoy the new ride.  I am hoping for an indian summer, last year I was able to enjoy multi-day road trips through the end of October!

No need for heat shrink. If the wiring harness side connection is loose on the switch, just squeeze the end of the connector a tiny bit with a pair of needle nose pliers, and re-attach.
 
A common mistake is to insert the connector onto the switch and not get it into the metal spade connector - then it’s only being held to the switch terminal with the rubber “bootie”, instead of being secured properly by the female side (harness) of the “spade” connector.
