Question about 1985 Toyota 4Runner

Rear window will not roll down

I have a 1985 Toyota 4runner - the rear window will no longer roll down - I replaced the switch in the front and bam - no more window - I checked the fuses and can not find where there is a problem - I do not have power to the switch in the front any more (when tested with a tester) - also just for a point of info - the key does not roll down the window from the outside - never has since I owned the vehicle - which has only been a couple of years - any ideas where I might look for something that has blown?

    Yep, I think I have narrowed mine down to the relay, drivers side behind the front seat. (the seat belt retractor runs through it) Remove the panel and follow the factory manual instructions. If you don't have a factory manual, get one, indispensable, but hard to follow. Good luck.

I had the same problem but it turned out to be the safety switch that is in the drivers side gate latch. To get to it you must roll down the window. I did this by disconnecting the motor and attaching a cordless drill battery to the ternminals at the harness. One way rolls up and switch the connection to roll down. Take off the drivers side latch (three screws on gate edge) and there is a switch inside the latch. My local toyota dealer didnt have the swicth so I just took it out of the loop. This solved my problem, but there is about 4 switches/relays in the gate alone that can give you the same problem.

Where is the fuse for the rear window of a 1986 4runner
rear window issue not rolling down?, take your rear window wiper blade and push up to the docking position. Then try the window. The wiper is electrically inline with the window relay. If it is not all the way up (sagging) then your window will not roll down. Hope this helps. Also, the relay board that operate rear window defog, and up/down is located drivers side behind the front seat behind the plastic trim. Next to the fuse box there are two circute breakers,in the center of the two breakers is a small hole take a tooth pick and push into the hole to reset the breaker,if I beleive the rear window breaker is nearest to the fuse box?? this should do the trick.

How do I replace back door lock cyl. on 92 4runner?
not really. it is best done with two people. remove the inside paneling, roll the window down and open the tailgate. then use a phillips screwdriver and push down the side tabs so the tailgate thinks it closed and roll the window up, have the second person hold the glass. You now have access to change the key cylinder.

I'm trying to fix my 1985 4runner rear window. It works rarely, and is intermintent, and only if i push a certain point of the door with all my force (and I'm a girl...so its not much !)\r\nAny tips? By...
try spraying the window tracks with silicone spray and the mechanism arms with WD40 - that may help the window roll easier. I suspect your track ways are worn as well as some of the window mount bushings - replacing those bushings may cure the problem but getting into the door to gain access is not so easy. Spraying would be my first choice. Good luck and thanks for using Fixya!!

I came out of work yesterday and noticed the rear window rolled all the way down and I know I hadn't done it and then again the same issue. it rolls up fine and does not seem to roll down when jostled...
I had similar problem it was the key switch in the rear tailgate. You need to remove the upholstered panel and then the steel panel and with the window all the way up you can unplug the key switch harness connector to remove it from the circuit. I left mine unplugged and now works fine with just the front panel switch.

Hope this helps

2004 4Runner Rear Wiper and Defroster won't work
I just had the same problem. I have an '04 4Runner and my rear wiper, fluid wash, and defrost stopped working after it was recently serviced. If you had the battery cables disconnected recently here is the solution...Start the engine and lower the rear tailgate window all the way... close the rear window and then turn the engine off. Restart the engine and the wiper,wash, and defrost. should work again. It has something to do with the computer which needs to be rebooted. Good luck.

Not working = power rear window, power antenna, starter
it looks like the starter is bad, install a new one. the antenna gear is broken, needs to be replaced and you need to check the rear hatch for any obstructions

'94 4runner 4dr. Inop. r/rear window & rt. frt. window will go down not up.
There is a saftey built into the tailgate that will interupt the ground to the switch in the center console with the tailgate open. This keeps the operator from trying to roll the window up with the tailgate open. If you have no ground to the rear window switch it is most likely the tailgate safety switch. If it is like my '88 it is built into the drvers side tailgate latch.

1985 toyota 4runner efi. With the a/c running and operating fine, after 10 minutes or so the engine starts to buck. If I turn off the a/c the bucking stops immediately and the truck runs fine. It will idle perfectly normal with the a/c on. The a/c, when on, is cooling fine. I was thinking maybe a coil problem as the coil heats up. Any thoughts?
