Real time. Rear hatch motor no power - Page 2 - Toyota 4Runner Forum

ukrsindicat · 10-05-2021, 04:10 PM

All this is a good info.
My hatch motor also sometimes quite and just wouldn't pull the hatch into locked position, but also wouldn't release the hatch.
Same time my driver window loses the auto-open/close ability.
And YES, the 30 min disconnected battery reset works and and hatch motor lock works again. But I'm getting tired of having to continuously reseting it and would like to see some more permanent fix.
Is this a sign of rear ECU failing? Do I need to replace it? Any troubleshooting steps?

Wha La now the switch should work, bam!

I had to replace the rear window when the defroster exploded it a couple weeks ago. While putting the window in, the hatch partially engaged the latch. When I tried to open it, the button is dead. Nothing when unlocking the doors. I have to manually reach in with the window all the say down to release the latch.
I checked the connectors, all good.

I am going to try this in the morning, hope it works!

I couldn't wait. This was easy since I left the interior panel off as I am running a camera wire this weekend.
It worked!!!
Thanks so much! This forum is a great resource!

Something else.
That rear latch seems to get mucked up over the years.
Cheap to replace the mechanism nowadays too... Under $100.

Did you figure out what was happening? I am currently having the same problem.

Hey, brother. Sorry for late reply.
I did figure it out. It was all in the hatch lock assembly. I replaced it and everything worked just fine

Hello all,

I see quite a few people battling the rear window paralysis. Did anyone actually solve it and care to share?

Even if it was a dealership visit... what did they do and what did it cost?

I finally took the regulator motor out and measured all 6 pins in any combination. None of them had transmission. Not sure if that's a good thing. I want to try and connect it to a battery to see if I can get it to move.
Anyone know which pins are ground and which I have to put the positive cable to?

thanks folks!
