rear window switch wiring

[foonanas]

After the hurricane my rear window on my 88 4runner would not go down with the key or the switch inside.

I could however use a 12volt battery straight to the rear window motor and it would go up and down.

My garage door was blown in during the hurricane and my manuals are pretty much useless.

I checked the voltage where my switch goes into the wiring harness and I figured I would find 12volts somewhere. Well I did not. I only found 9 volts..

can someone tell me what is supposed to be on each of those pins?

thanks,, oh yeah its a V6

I hope for the best for ya on this problem , I recently bought a 85 t4r yhat needed a hole tailgate window assembly and the wiring was shot in the truck.
My answer was to install a double pole double throw switch in the cab and go straight to the battery .
yours seems more like a relay switch that is caroaded or wiring that is partially broken.

you think its possible to reuse my power ant button? It already says up and down on it..

go check the fuse under the hood!!!! i replaced all the wires from the the switch up front back to the tailgate!!!! it still wouldnt work i pulled my hair out for 4 hours and it was a thick black fuse. i think it was an 80 amp fuse? somthing like that. start small, thats all i can say

its in the fuse box on the passenger side. it should be a thick black one.

You also have a couple of "kill" switches on your runner that will tell the motor to not work during certain events. There is one switch just past the rear inner fender on the left side. If your top is off that switch will not let you use your rear window. There is another switch in the tail gate itself that will detect if the gate is down. That will stop your window from working if the switch is bad. Do a search, you will find a lot of information already posted here that will help you out.

Rear window

Ther is a relay for the rear window. It's behind the panel just rear of the drivers door. It's about 3" square-3/4" thick. They are gettin' hard to find now. Good luck.

Ok so i got it to work sorta!! If the tailgate is down and you close the latches the window will work from the key and the switch. If you close the tailgate it does not work.... unless you push hard on the left side. As soon as you let it go it stops working.

It's some thing that is not making contact all the way.. Any suggestions?
