I'll start by saying this happened after I got stuck...

The problems didnt start until shorthly after I washed the truck and vacuumed out the water from inside.

As it is now the defroster only works for 3 seconds after the 4Runner is started, rear wipers don't work and the rear hatch will not open. Window also will not go up/down. Oddly enough everything was fine until I went to clean it. My suspect is the rear hatch control module, however I'm not so sure what exactly that includes. (I haven't dug into any wiring diagrams much beyond my Haines Manual YET*). I plan to rip open all the cladding to search for a rotten wires and I will inspect the wiring harness as best I can but any other ideas from you T4R guys would be fantastic.

Also, I have no clue how to even open the gate without power so that might be nice to know. Ill check the fuse(s) once it stops raining (that would be nice) but after a such a crummy morning, I doubt it could be so simple.
