Rear window switch in cargo area

B4Runner · 11-04-2009, 05:05 PM

hey. so im going to add an OEM rear window switch to my cargo area for easier entrance/exit while camping. i already have my switch, but there are 5 wires on it. i kno 4 outta 5 of them: hot, up, down, illumination. idk the other. but it would be great to kno which wires are the hot, up, and down. and then my next problem is in the tailgate. i can only find 2 main wired that lead right into the window motor. id reasonably assume that those are the up and down. theres a big connection there too, and it was just tellin me to make sure that someone else can stand behind me on this. lol. but then where is the hot wire? all this is a great help if you have info for me. thanks in advance.

I seem to remember stumbling on a write-up here on yotatech where someone did what you're talking about (because that's something I need to do, also).
