This is the most helpful thing ever, thanks so much. Took me 45 seconds to fix her

Oh my god this saved my life. exactly my situation. I just ripped off the back off the tail gate too like you did, I couldn’t figure out where the electronics for the window actually was so I searched this up hell yeah saved me lots of time

I know you made this video awhile ago. I just wanted to let you know you helped this small business owner keep his tools out of the weather with this fix thank you very much man

This video is very well done. It's tough to find good how-to's on 2nd gen's these days as they're getting pretty old. Thanks for putting in the time to make a quality, step-by-step, video on this. I'm hoping it'll get my window working. I usually have to go in the car, start it up, then press the window down button 20-60 times for it to roll down. The wiper being in slightly the wrong spot seems like a possible cause. EDIT: Looks like that wasn't the issue...any thoughts on what it could be? The fact that it will roll down if I try enough times, and it clicks every time I press the button, tells me it is getting power. Maybe it's the relay?

Helped me fix my buddies rear window in seconds! First time I've ever had a youtube video help me with a problem and it go so smoothly!

thanks for the video! this is exactly what has happened to my 90 4runner, so now off to diagnose. much appreciated.

What a lot of other people have said, very useful. I did this before trying to take out the winder motor. Now at least I know this is not the problem.

Thank god you had this method on KZfaq. A local mechanic was trying to charge me $800 just to fix this!!

I call my 94' DogRunner. With Sunroof,Rear Window and all windows down the boys love it!. Three days ago we were out and rear window would not go up. Your fix was done in ten and a BIG Thank-You!

Saw this video MONTHS ago and kept in the back of my mind. I’m glad I was able to find it again. Thank you thank you thank you.

I can't believe seating the rear wiper WORKED for me !!! Thank you soooooo much. It's been one of those months when everything is breaking and it gets overwhelming ( when you're broke ) So thanks again, you are my hero ! YOU TUBE ROCKS !

This is the first video appearing in my search and was a huge help. Thanks Ben!! The issue was indeed the wiper blade. Jiggled it in place and window engaged!

😊 Thank you sooooo much! My wiper hasn't been parking correctly for years and the inside window button quit working looooong ago also. Then yesterday the window wouldn't roll down with the key. 🥴 Stumbled on your video!!! Manually parked wiper. Now the key and inside button work to operate the window! 🥳 Will continue on with bypassing wiper motor as you suggest 😉 THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I know it has been a while since you made the video, but thank you! Bypassed wiper motor in a matter of minutes.

Thanks man. You saved me a ton of troubleshooting time.

Very helpful j have been looking for a video for months !! ❤

Been wanting to know how to do this for so long and I'm about to re paint the car so il be welding up the rear wiper holes and taking it out completely, thanks legend!!!

My son was returning to college and his back window would not go down. We tried the first trick of seeding the rear wiper and it worked. The rear window is now operational and the time it took to fix was about 1 minute. Thanks for the tip.

Yep ! Also, I changed the lone fuse that is hiding back behind the fuse box by the drivers brake pedal. It was a 30 amp pink box looking kind and it has helped with so much! I have a 95

a 1000 thanks for this vid. fixed my window issue in less than 10 minutes, very easy to do.

Thanks for this fix I found it a while back when doing the mech in the door. But today the window wouldn’t come up after I accidentally hit the rear wiper switch. This worked just fine. Thanks again for the video ! Joe Q. Public

I thank you Mr. Huttash for this very informative video, let me also compliment you on the production of the video as well. Great job.

4th of July 2019... This helped me immensely. Thank you!

Thank you for this video! I went out and wiggled my rear wiper and the window opened. Got to know my truck a little better today.

...the most amazing thing I have ever come across.

Great video and instructions! Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it's either the controller or the relay on my truck.

It works! Thanks! You just saved me $500 for a new tailgate!

I just used this video for my 93 . Thank you so much!!

Thanks mate bloody best vid on the internet

Thanks! I tried all of the "other" things before I found this video, but at least I found a tailgate without the rust that mine has at the local wrecking yard. Now to move all of my good, working parts into the good door. ツ

Great info just picked a 91 up today and can't wait to try this tomorrow

Thanks for the video it helps me alot to fix my 4runner back window, I appreciate that 🙏

AMAZING! Thank you- it worked!! I was about to drop it off somewhere and was expecting to pay $$$$$

Thanks my friend, finally my window is working

Thank you!!! Ill do the wiper blade fix ... for my 2runner. I just need to figire out which wires to jump to roll the rear window down.

Worked like a charm! Thanks Ben!

Thanks for the video, quick problem solved, my wiper was not seated correctly.

Holy crap your a godsend you saved me all kinds of time and time is money!

Thanks mate! really good video, will sort mine out at the weekend!!

man thank you so much!!!!! 2021 and still helps

4 years later and still saving people

Thank you for the insights, I had a feeling the 2 operations had a connection, or shared a connection, since they both failed together.

You are a God sir. Thank you for this video

Totally worked, thanks so much!

Thank you very much. I’ve got mine working.

Super helpful, problem solved - thank you!

thank you for this wonderful video!!!!

Thanks ol' sport! Going to give this a try.

Thanks for posting man! Totally worked!

Nice job man! Thank you!

Thanks for the video so helpful!!!

Worked amazingly thanks from South Carolina USA

Extremely helpful.

Thank you buddy much help, I have a 92' everything works except, I can't roll the rear back up with the key? I'll scroll through the comments to see if anyone else has the same problem, or if it was supposed to be like that? Cheers! Happy fourth!

This worked for me! Thank you! If I were to make 4 more jumpers but use them to bridge the remaining pins would the rear wiper work? Or will the jumper prevent it from working?

Awesome video! Thank you!

Thank you for this video

thank you. saved me some money

Thanks for the great video. I'm going to give your fix a try. On my 1990, the rear window seems like it starts to go a little bit and then stops. I have a brand new battery so I don't think that's the issue. Do you think it could be a weak motor? Your motor looked super efficient. All my power windows seem weak.

Very very helpful thank you so much

Thank you so much!

This is was great. Thanks.

Best trick ever 👍👍👍👐

Thanks for the video. What size male terminals and gauge size wire did you use for the bypass.

Awesome video! Mine still works fine, but I know how to fix it if it stops! Do you have any videos on how to remove those back panels so I can get to the speakers and replace them? Thank you again for help!

Gracias desde Tijuana

Great video. I have a 91 4Runner and the backdoor will no longer open. Do you have any videos or advice on how to fix this issue?

thanks buddy!

thank you so much man !!!!

Dang. Very helpful.

Thanks!!!

Superb!!!!

Save me about five hours of pulling my hair out. Thanks a lot. Work awesome. Do you know why this issue happens and how to solve the main issue?

If the window is going down slowly and getting stuck / stopping on way back up with switch in car and key….does this sound like a motor / mechanical issue rather than electrical issue that could be fixed with the solution in the video. Any tips / pointers appreciated Thanks

Спасибо тебе

Thank you v

Thank ❤❤

Thanks

Thanks for this tutorial! Any idea on how to get the read defogger working? i have a 1993 4runner and when i switch on the rear defogger the button lights up but even after 30 minutes the rear window shows no signs of defogging.

Hey Ben, do you still have the 4runner? If so where are ya in Texas?

Where do u get that little jumper cable

Is there a link to buy a jumper wire?

Where did you get those jumper cables?

What parts would I need to make the bypass wire?

can you please link the bypass cable i cannot find it online

Mine worked for a while but just recently stopped rolling down,would doing this fix it?

I unfortunately let my 93 4runner sit for 6 months and the rear window worked fine before it sat. After getting it going again for the winter months I realized the rear window only goes down about an inch then stops and can only go back up? Rusted guide rail?

Great video! Can I easily find that little red jumper cable in auto part stores?

What gauge wire did you use

Where can i get one of those little wires that you jumped the sensor with? the little red one with the metal tips

So I did this, and it rolls up but not down. I plug my wiper back in (it's up and seated) and it will now roll down and not up. Any takers?

where can I found those

Ben, great help and my rear window works fine from console button but using the key in the rear gate still does not work. Any ideas? Thx, Dan

What's the name of the little red cable you use to complete the circuit ?

where can you find those little jumper cable that you used?

Is it possible that sometimes it can just be caused by a popped fuse?

👍👍🤙🤙
