toyota 4 runner rear window fix

Shows how the rear window on a 1988 toy 4 runner works and how to fix it. How to jump the wires if the switches do no work. Try red to ground. Green to ground using 12 volt battery. Careful of t license plate bolts.

Thank you sooo much! My pin was bent so it was not fully releasing the relay. Problem solved!

Well the window is busted again. I cleaned the switches by the stick shift. One regulates the back window. Well it is clean but now the back window will not go up or down. The switch on the tailgate is not working either. Luckily I removed the panel and used a 12 vote battery to lower the window so I can lower the tail gate.

I just keep a small rechargable lithium battery next to the extended leads. I wrap the leads around the tail gate door lock. then I manually connect the wires to the battery lowing and raising the window.

I use a 12v lithium battery to raise and lower the window. There is a relay on the drivers side about 18 to the rear of the drivers seat. Under that panel is a relay. I believe it is broken and needs replacement before the rear window will work from the switches by the stick shift.

once you get the panel off it becomes easier to recognized things.

Please help me out guys , the back window on my 4runner wont go down it will only go up with the swich by the shifting stick or with the key on the tailgate but it It will not go down, .. what can i check or do to it?

[@RobertMOdell]

Mike. If the motor is fried, is there a way to lower the window? Or, is there a way to bypass and unlock the gate with the window "up" ?

OK man, I know there is some good information here, but the camerawork?! It's killing me. Back out every so often and let the viewer get his/her bearings. I use an old school 12V auto battery charger and just break that factory wiring connection close to the motor. up/down is just a matter of putting hot to the right wire
