I have the service manual and just looked all through the thing and I can't find it! It sucks because I have the TSB that shows how to program the remote for just about every other vehicle Toyota makes, yet the 4Runner is not listed.
Regardless, here are the instructions from that TSB.
�� 2000 – 2005 model year Celica vehicles.
�� 2001 – 2003 model year Prius vehicles.
�� 2001 – 2005 model year ECHO vehicles.
�� 2001 – 2007 model year Highlander vehicles.
�� 2001 – 2008 model year RAV4 vehicles.
�� 2002 – 2006 model year Camry vehicles.
�� 2003 – 2008 model year Avalon, Corolla, and Matrix vehicles.
�� 2004 – 2008 model year Sienna and Solara vehicles.
�� 2005 – 2008 model year Tacoma vehicles.
�� 2007 – 2008 model year FJ Cruiser and Yaris vehicles.
To Program Wireless Remote Transmitters:
Begin with:
The driver’s door open and unlocked.
Key out of the ignition.
1. Insert and remove the key from the ignition switch 2 times within 5 seconds.
NOTE: Steps 2 and 3 should be performed within 40 seconds.
2. Close and open driver’s door TWICE.
3. Insert the key into the ignition and remove it.
NOTE: Steps 4 – 6 should be performed within 40 seconds.
4. Close and open the driver’s door twice.
5. Insert the key into the ignition.
6. Close the door.
NOTE: Steps 5 and 6 should be reversed for the following models ONLY (close door first, then insert key into ignition):
�� 2000 – 2005 Celica
�� 2001 – 2003 Prius
�� 2001 – 2005 ECHO
�� 2001 – 2005 RAV4
�� 2003 – 2004 Avalon
7. Turn the ignition switch from “Lock” to “On” and back to “Lock” at about 1 second intervals to select the desired mode:
1 time for ADD mode.
2 times for REWRITE mode.
3 times for CONFIRMATION mode.
5 times for PROHIBITION mode.
8. Remove the key from the ignition.
9. To confirm your mode selection, the power locks will now cycle “lock” to “unlock” a number of times corresponding to your key cycles in step 7.
NOTE: If Confirmation or Prohibition modes have been selected, opening the door will complete the procedure.
10. For Add or Rewrite modes do the following within 40 seconds of Door Lock confirmation:
A. Press both transmitter Lock and Unlock buttons simultaneously between 1 and 1.5 seconds and release.
B. Within 3 seconds of step A, press the transmitter Lock button for more than 1 second and release.
If the transmitter has been successfully programmed, the power locks will cycle “lock” to “unlock” once at this time.
If there are problems with the transmitter or the procedure up to this point, the locks will cycle twice. If this occurs, verify that you have received the correct transmitter, and then repeat the above procedure.
C. If multiple remotes are to be reprogrammed, repeat steps A and B.
11. Open the driver’s door to conclude programming mode.

I don't think it's your remote. Did it work in the past? When you say "When I press the button now, it only beeps..." that beep indicates the remote is OK. Did you recently pull the (-) battery cable or fuses? I think you just need to reinitialize the back window using the dash switch or key switch. Roll the window all the way down and hold a few extra seconds. Then roll it up and hold it again.

May not be the remote, did you check to see if the rear window operates with the dash switch and the key in the rear door switch? You may have blown a fuse.
