yup that will work all right

its an 88. ive already taken the wiper off and ran it for a while and it still didnt fix the problem. can a motor go out even if it rolls the window up and down at normal to quick speeds? usually you can tell when a motor is going out when the window rolls down slowly, right?

I just had to replace the door switch on the driverside by the lock latch. I think the part # was 84535-89102. If you can get the window down and open the tail gate blast some cleaner fluid in that lock mechanism on the driverside, it got mine working but i replaced the switch anyways

Here's 4Crawler's site with some good info. My window just stopped working now too so I need to troubleshoot it and find out what the issue is.

My console switch nor key in tailgate operates the window. I can hear the relay clicking when pushing up on the console switch and it clicks both ways with the key in the back. My wiper works and so does my rear defroster. I have an extra relay and console switch and neither does the trick. I just tried them because they were easy to swap out and see if it corrected the problem.

Between the motor, relays, and multiple switches, there are a lot of things to check out before you figure out which is the faulty part. Of course it's never the first or second item we check. It's always like the 10th or 12th.....luckily, I have a parts 4runner to rob stuff off of to try.

My 2001 toyota 4 runner rear lift gate window seems to be stuck, can only crack the the window when button depressed or key inserted.
Any help appreciated

Hi Pete, your rear window system may be different from our classics' / first and second-gens.
Pls post on 3rd-gen forum.

I got tired of the overly complicated system Toyota made for the rear window, I just put a 3 position switch going straight to the motor in the console. Used the old power antenae switch since it has Up/Down markings on it.

I almost posted a recommendation to the OP when I realized this thread is 6 years old.... zombie thread status

Winodwo motor Faulty Wiring or somthing> thats what mine was

^^^not my picture, but this is how I jumpered my back window on my 87' ...no more problems. This is the plug that goes to the up/down switch in the console. The jumper bypasses all the safety switches, so if the top is off or the tailgate is down it will still operate, but that doesn't really bother me, it's pretty common sense not to mess with the window in those situations.

I'm having the "three beep" message as well. I can roll the rear window up and down with the console switch, but my key doesn't work in the lock, sooooo, I thought I would get back in the guts of the tailgate and take a look at the lock itself. I put the tailgate down, took the back off to access the guts and rolled the window up. Everything looked alright, but now, I can't roll the window back down to close the tailgate. I tried "tricking" the locks on the sides of the tailgate to no avail and now, the interior lock on the tailgate is stuck. Right now, she's sitting there with duct tape to hold the tailgate and window up. Any help would be super appreciated!

When we do not see what truck we're talking of, we assume it's an Escalade;
Too ritzy to cover here
How could we help you if we don't know which schematic to check, and we don't know whom among us have the same truck as you have??


A problem well-stated is almost solved.
What's 3-beep message?
How did you roll the window up when you took back off?
Did you inspect the wiring in flex harness between body and tailgate? Did you inspect the key switch and wiring?
Got a multi-meter?

I recently went through this as well.

Originally I pulled everything off the rear end of my 93. All the panels up to the rear seat, I pulled the trailer harness in and taped it off, and pushed the rear wiper up. The initial fix was jumping the safety circuit on the plug at the rear wiper motor.

I was having issues with my windshield wiper fuses popping because of a short going to the front motor, so if I leave the front motor unplugged, replace the wiper fuse, and all of it works.

So My Recommendations:
Verify your rear wiper is aligned, if not jump the safety on the plug for testing purposes (I can find the two pins to jump I don't have it in front of me)
Verify your fuses are good, it seems everything is running through the front wiper harness and if that fuse goes the entire system doesn't work (Front wipers, rear wipers, rear window, and the rear hatch unlock doesn't work.
I did a bunch of reading and some people were having luck getting the window to roll down with the key and putting it back up to resolve the issue. The thought process being, the rear window wasn't "all the way up" or it didn't kick the safety to acknowledge it's all the way up.

The three beeps sounds like a warning to me (I did not experience the 3 beeps) so I would checkout your safety circuits. The Three I know of are Rear wiper lined up (can be jumped), rear hatch closed, and rear window all the way up.

Just my thoughts

Goodluck!

All wiring was good. Problem was the window was rolled up to the point that it was ALMOST off the tracks. Once I engaged the side latches and tricked it into thinking the tailgate was up and locked, I pushed the button on the console to roll the window up while my hubby shimmied the window a bit to get it to "catch", then it went right down.
Next issue was I couldn't disengage the side lock latches but turns out it was an easy enough fix. While I used a screwdriver to push the latch back, the hubby pulled up on the interior handle and wa-la... problems solved!
