The problem is that my rear window doesn't work? When I turn the key in the door it only makes noise when I turn it to the left. Nothing when I turn to the right. And the noise is a clicking noise. I tried to take apart the rear but I think it can't be done with the tailgate up? Am I wrong? Well the front switches don't do much besides take up space. I am debating on whether its the relay or the motor or both?? Can someone who has fixed this problem or knows what parts need to be replaced by my vague description help me out???? If you need more information post what it is and I will do my best to answer your questions. Thanks alot
K I don't have a clue....help!

The hatch won`t open when the window is up even just a little. remember too that there is a lock on the inside. The panels do come off from the inside, just take the lower one off and an inner steel panel as well. Sounds like there is a problem with the motor skipping on the gears or motor failure. I forget which way to turn the key for up and down. I`ll check soon.
Thanks, i think there is a motor problem with the gears....but people have been says the gear is plastic and small in the motor? The one I seen looks metal? and it looks like the gears that move the window up and down (regulator??). I took some pictures of it I hope it rings a bell... the pics suck and I'll take some new ones tomorrow. thanks for the help
Usually the rear tailgate motor on the 84-95 4-Runners and 80-90 Landcruiser wagons models:LJ/BJ60 & 62 series have the gear on the motor itself strip so a new motor is the solution but they are $250+ at Toyota if they are still available.
What many people have done is gone to a junk yard an bought a Celica,Supra,Camry or Mazda 323 or 626 power window door motors as they are in excellent shape and have cut & crimpt the old harness on it and works like new,you have to realize that 4-Runner,pickup & Landcruiser parts are in high demand so they are difficult to source and cost alot.
4-Runner rear tailgate window motor:
80’s Celica/Supra
87-91 Camry (left or back door), passenger side door power window motor out of Camry
Mazda 323 or 626’s passenger or driver’s side window motor two of the holes line up while the 3rd needs filing.

The rear window on my 1990 has a motor/gear reduction unit. It's all one assembly. When my rear window stopped working, I removed this motor assy and pulled the metal cover. The gear on the motor shaft is steel, while the large gear is plastic. My plastic gear was stripped. A trip to the local junk yard got me a new motor assy. I think this assy is used in many of the older Toyota models. I will try to post a photo, if I can figure out how to do it.
