might want to check the classified section of yotatech as an idea to look into as well

 

Since my switch is wires direct I can put the window up with the gate down its a lot easier to clean that way so soon it will get a full detain cleaning touch up pain sand and primer dents and re paint sr5 stripes black

 

Nice! I highly recommend lubricating everything before you re-install, if you haven't yet. Just rebuild the harness. Shouldn't be too difficult. Measure each wire, use proper gauge, and label everything. All should be accessible once you take off the left side panels.

 

I was at a bone yard today @30 minutes from my house. They have the remnants of an 88 Runner that looked to still have the rear harness in tact. The only thing I saw missing was the plugs to the 3 switches in the console. I didn't look to see if it had the wiring for the rear heater, don't know that you have that or not. If your interested in sending me down to grab it shoot me a PM.
