94 w/3VZE wipers don't work

[Angella]

Front windshield wipers, back window, and back windshielf wipers are no longer working.

We hoped it was a fuse, but we've checked all of the fuses in both boxes (under hood and driver side floor).

Is there something obvious here I'm missing? Please help : )

Hi,
Went through my manuals for you to look for anything I could find.
My first thought was your rear window/wiper relay. Upon checking my manuals it confirms you should have a relay. Although it does not tell me where it is. I have some questions for you to try. Do your side windows work? Is your wiper all the way up in it's locked position. You have a window lock switch, if your rear wiper is not all the way up in its little holder your rear window won't work. I know that probably is not the problem, but something to keep in mind. To get back to the subject, I would say your problem is your wiper/window relay. I am going to cantact a source that may be able to tell me where it is. I will reply with an answer if I find one.

Okay,
I found the relay, it is behind the left side paneling in the rear of the runner. Not the easiest to get to, and if you are not careful you could crack your paneling. I must tell you this relay only runs all the features on the rear of the vehichle. It runs your power window, your rear window lock switch, rear wiper motor ect....
Now if your front wipers don't work, and your front windows don't work, along with your rear window problems...... You have a bigger problem. or should say, probably, multible problems. Keep me informed I will help as much as I can.
Cheers

I'm sorry, I forgot one major thing! Have you checked to see if you have power going to and comming from your wiper switch on your steering council. You have a relay that is unfortunately part of your wiper switch. Check to see if you have power comming out of your switch, if you do you may have a bad relay. You will also have to check to see if you have power coming out of your relay going to you wiper motor.
A simple test will eliminate your rear window relay being the problem. put your key in the rear window key lock. If your window goes down and up, your rear window may be fine, and you most likely will need the wiper switch on your steering colum. You will have to call your toyota dealer, give them your vin number to get a new switch. Believe it or not, due to options on your vehicle, they are hard to match up at a junk yard.

perfect! I'd love to know which manual you found this in : )

We'll try both of those - it's kinda bad out (here in ohio) but we'll look at it over the next couple days, and post back.

Thanks so much!
