Rear and passenger windows just stopped working...

Hello everyone, wondering if some of the electronic gurus out there can help me out with my problem.

The other day, I was driving around, my girl rolled the front passenger window down half way, we drove around and when I parked and tried to roll it back up, it wouldn't work. I checked my other windows, and turns out none of them work.

So now, the 3 passenger windows and the rear tail gate window doesn't work, but my driver window and sunroof windows work. Another strange thing is my rear tail gate window works through the key fob and turning the key on the trunk, but it won't work using the button on the dashboard.

I checked the fuse and the only one I thought was the DR/LCK 20 fuse under the hood. It didn't look blown but I replaced it anyways and it still doesn't work.

Any ideas out there? Did I check the wrong fuse or something like that?

According to my Haynes Repair Manual 2003-2009 Models (page 12-32), the wiring schematic is a complete maze. There are 4 different fuses associated with the power window system. There is a 30A fuse (power) and 10A fuse (ECU-IG) located at the drivers side junction block, a 20A fuse (DR/LCK) located at the engine room relay block, and a 7.5A fuse (ACC) located at the engine room junction block.

If all your fuses check out ok, then it may be an issue with the power relay or Body ECU.

I checked all 4 fuses as described in that thread, they all looked fine but I replaced them anyways, yet the windows still don't work...

You locked it.
From the driver seat, where all the window switches are located there a a square but that locks those windows. When locked even the driver cannot roll down which is a bad design by Toyota if you ask me

you are correct, my friend. I looked at several dozen fuses (all were fine) before I realized the windows were locked.

false alarm, nothing to see here folks!

(Note to self, never try to diagnose a problem on your car while under the influence...)

Its all good, so many people forget that the Window Lock button even exists. Glad it sorted itself out. :)
 
Any potential solutions that are not the window lock button? I've had flooding in my 2012 Trail edition (sunroof issues - insert choice explative here) and then this happened along with the trunk not opening, the check pressure light, the driver side power lock not working (driver side working), the driver window stopping mid way roll up then rolling down again, and the DRL lights not working. Flooding issue resolved thanks to this forum, just trying to fix the damage now.

Not sure if there is a step after check the window lock to start fixing this but would appreciate any advice!
