Rear window
The rear window on my 1995 toyota 4runner sr5 won't go up or down, when I push the switch, the motor is working but the window doesn't move. Any Sugestions?

Checked the window lock, thats not it, it's bugging the hell out of me, and its a bitch to get to it because the rear pannel comes off and theres not much of a hole to see in there or even work

It's probably either the switch, or the relay. Check by putting your key in the back lock, and see if it does anything, if it does, It's probalby your switch. Try replacing the switch, and if it still does it, it's your relay. Or just replace both, I'd be willing to bet it's one of those two.

if the motor is running, but the window is not moving, you've either: broke/lost the bolts that hold the window to the regulator; or sheered the teeth off the gear so its not driving the reg. you'll have to open 'er up and look that the window is still attached. but it sounds like you'll need a new motor. pull one from a driver's door. see refs below. this took 10 secs google searching! good luck.

Similar issue
My rear window on my '95 4Runner stopped working a couple of weeks ago and it's gone from minor inconvenience to something I'd like to fix; I've checked the fuses and haven't seen any that are out. The reason I replied to this thread though was that you mentioned hearing a click- I hear a click (when using the key or the switch), but nothing happens, what does that mean?
Thanks!

I came across this while trying to figure out my own rear window problems. I'm not well versed on this so Stormin, I'm hoping you're still watching this thread.

What are the chances of that happening with the factory plastic still in place? I know anything is possible, but when I pulled the trim and accessed the panel it was sealed up tight with factory shielding. I didn't want to just dive in with a razor blade to gain access- I just replaced the panel and trim and came to the forums.
It looked pretty clean in there.

Did you check if you get power to the wires that connect to the motor?
Did you inspect and test the wires in the flex harness that connects between body and tailgate?
Repeated flexing could break the wires in there, so even if the relay clicks to send power to the motor, power does not get to the motor because the wire carrying it is broken. It is no enough to see if insulation is broken or not. Even good insulation may have broken wire inside.

On my driver's side door, the plastic was sealed to the metal frame of the door by something like tar. Heat it gently with a heat gun (or hair dryer) to soften it, then gently pull it back. Be careful; when warm that stuff will stick to anything and everything.
When done, warm it up a little, and carefully press it back.
