1998 limited 4rnr hatch window problem

[thebrackett]

Can someone please respond to this? I don't know if there's anyone even reading it. If nobody knows the answer to this I need to know that fact. Then I can proceed.

I can get the hatch window (on 1998 Toyota 4Rnr Limited) to go up and down when I put 12volts directly to the motor but when I have a friend use the console switch I have to help it up and down - lots of help! It also clicks a bunch (relay?) while we're doing this. So, it seems there is some kind of power (voltage) drop between the console switch and the motor. Any ideas of what my next step should be?

wow!

wow! It amazes me that there have been almost 300 views of this problem and not 1 reply! I guess it's just too tough. I give up. I've been to mechanics, junkyards, online help, tried everything I can think of and I refuse to go to a dealership and pay hundreds of dollars on this - I'll just do without being able to raise or lower my rear window. Thanks -?
