I was wondering if anyone knows what would be the problem, my rear defrost, rear wiper and I just recently noticed that my rear door will not lock or unlock using the remote control. It seems that there is no power going to the rear/hatch door. I recently got a hitch installed so I thought maybe that caused the problem so I went back to uhaul and they rechecked everything to include all the fuses and they couldn't find anything wrong. I have an appointment at the Toyota place to have it looked at Monday but was hoping maybe I could find out whats wrong before then.. Thanks in advance for your help.
Jmdevan: There is a harness that runs through that hatch that controls all 3 of these. Either there is a fuse blown to that harness or the harness got disconnected (uhaul??)
Do you have tail/brake/backup lights?
Look in your owners manual and see if there is a common fuse for these 3.
It's got to be one of these 2 problems.
My money is on Uhaul breaking the power to these 3 when connecting the trailer harness.
I'm not familiar with the Matrix but it would enter the hatch at the top. It might originate in the same spot as the Brake/Tailight harness which is where the trailer adapter was connected. On the Matrix it might be behind a panel inside your trunk area or under the car near the rear bumper. Check under the car to see where the trailer connector enters the car. Sorry I can't be of more help but if you check this and double check the fuse for the wiper/defrost and lock, you might find the problem.

Yes I have tail/brake/and backup lights. Where is the harness located? Uhaul said they checked all the fuses but I think I will check myself... Well if uhaul caused the problem they said they would re-emburse me to fix the problem.
