did the dealer blow something? - Toyota 4Runner Forum

just had my oil changed last wednesday at the dealer (yea I know.. but I'm going south turkey hunting this coming week and wanted to make sure it got changed), this morning my mirror heater/rear window defroster isn't working(worked before the oil change), I went under the hood and looked in the fuse box and didn't see anything blown. is there another fuse box I should be looking at or some kind of an in-line fuse?

There’s another fuse box in the passenger compartment, on the lower dash to the left of the steering wheel.

You should also double check that the rear window is all the way up. Does your rear wiper work? I think that would also not work if the rear window was not all the way up.

Make sure your rear window is all of the way up...

thanks for the help. I feel kinda stupid, but I'm glad its not something else... yep, rear window was down about 3/8", put it up and everything is working as should.

My small dog slightly stepped on the rear window switch. I felt stupid when the dealer called to say the rear window was down just a bit.

Yep, rear window, I know it's weird. Glad it was an easy fix

I think we've all hit this exactly once. I was running a wire through my firewall for a Switch Pros, needed some electrical tape. Jump in the truck, head to the store, notice a bunch of stuff isn't working, panic I somehow did some damage to the main wire loom.

Sitting in the parking lot searching here, I discovered there are about 50 threads on this exact issue, so clearly we have all been there ...
