No defrost, no wiper, no sprayer...... Cracked the rear window and rolled it up and everything worked. Great! Right?
Well, shut the ignition off and went around back to open the tail gate and it won't open. Get back in vehicle and turn it on. Rear wiper doesn't work again. Window rolls up and down fine. Leave ignition on and go around back and the tail gate opens. Defrost works. Sprayer works. Shut ignition off and turn back on....... Nothing works again.
So I search. I notice my auto window isn't auto anymore and I do the auto window reset procedure. Auto window works again, sprayer, wiper and the tail gate opens too. Shut off ignition and turn it back on. NOTHING!
Window works great. But if I shut off the ignition I can't open the tail gate. The key fob doesn't open the window. The lock doesn't actuate. Etc....... Why the hell does this thing reset every time the ignition is turned off? Can anyone please help. This worked flawlessly before the battery disconnect. Is this a ploy by toyota to drum up service just by disconnecting the battery? I've worked on cars for years and I can't figure this ridiculous mess out!

Your in lockdown mode..Complete LOCKDOWN
Just had the same thing happen to my 03' 4runner SR5. Two days of completely freaking out til ...I read so much that i started reading between the lines of the repair manuel.
What you need is 2 keys
1 key goes in the ignition and turn it to "ON"
2nd key goes in the rear hatch door using it to work all the functions of the rear door. Do the typical turn and hold down turn hold up etc etc.
Why 2 keys? cause its a safety mechanism as if a child was stuck in the door it will noit come out of that mode until two keys are used assuming two people are verifying everything is ok..and walah
