Ok first, have you checked to see if the key switch in the tailgate works? Put your key in, turn and hold to the left for up or turn and hold to the right for down. I thought you had mentioned that it didn't work with either switch meaning the console and the key. My mistake.
If the key doesn't work then you will have to figure out whether it is because the motor is shot or the switch or a couple of other things. Lets start with finding out if the key works though.
With the key in the ACC position and the radio on, it is possible that there is supposed to be a "hot" relay in the driver kick panel. I would bet that one of them would get hot but without knowing which one I couldn't guess.
When you were in the kick panel did you check the Circuit Breaker? Look in my earlier post for the FSM reference. It is a round CB that should have a little hole in it for a reset.
Since you have never tried the rear wiper before but you know it is not working now it could be one of two things. Either the wiper never worked or the wiper fuse is blown and it somehow is tied to the rear window power. I'm not a hundred percent sure that it is tied but according to the diagram it may be. Have you checked the fuse? Can you manually move the rear wiper up any? It needs to be fully up for the rear window to work.
Have you tried the tap test on the relay that is in the Driver B Pillar?
Have you jumped the motor?
Have you taken a look at the FSM that was referenced in my above post? There are a lot of things it could be but until you start knocking some of these off the list it is going to be hard to tell.
This a common malfunction on the 1st Gen 4Runner. There are lot of topics on the subject in this and other forums. I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything but there is a reason why this thread has been viewed 96 times and only myself and "fourwd1" have responded. Judging from your earlier "Took the top off now rear window doesn't work" and your "Rodeo rim" post you don't seem to do much searching for yourself. Google, the Google Search Bar at the top of this page and the Search Function on this page as well are your friends.
Make a list of all the things I have posted (key switch, top sensor, rear wiper movement, rear wiper fuse, CB in kick panel, tap test, jump the motor) and let us know how each of these works out for you. BUT BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING, LOOK AT THE STICKY AT THE TOP OF THE CLASSIC SECTION POSTS, DOWNLOAD THE FSM AND DO SOME LIGHT READING IN THE BODY ELECTRICAL SECTION. I have already done the hard part and given you the page numbers.
