He has all those kinds of tools.
So what I understand is that I essentially need to "simulate" the switch using a short piece of wire. Right? Also sounds like it would be good to check the resistance and such.
I assume I'll need to dismantle the doors, is that fairly straight forward? This 4runner is in super mint condition physically, and I definitely do not want to mess up any panels/trim! Haha
Lastly... This body ecu doesn't effect the brakes.. Does it?

No, nothing to do with the brakes. Yes, on simulate the switch. But DO NOT forget the part about verifying the grounds. This is actually your best bet, as that could conceivably affect both. Without a good ground at the switch, nothing is going to work.
No need to dismantle door. You can pull the switches out of the door just by prying up the little panels they are on, and then disconnect the plug. Use a plastic pry tool, or wrap a butter knife with electrical tape, and all will be fine.
