rear door light on the dash is on

Just baught a 1990 runner sr5 5 speed. The rear door light on the dash is on. the door is closed but I can't get the window to go down because it thinks the door is open. The window control beeps when I try to go up so I think it still works. Any help would be great. Thanks

Welcome to Yotatech.

Lots of info on back windows here...try a search.

Check your rear wiper position and the rear door switch (the one that shows it closed).

crambone,
The 1990 model has the tailgate yes? Lock it and the light will go off.


Wabbit,
Stop typing, get done wheeling, get back home and build tops. How's the trip so far?

I'm on vacation working on my own damn truck! For a change!

So I haven't tripped anywhere yet, but over the floor jack last night a time or two.

Oh? I thought you were going to a SEARJ off road trip or something like that. Are you prepping your rig for the run? If so then you better post up some pics!

There is a lock on the inside of the tailgate. It locks the tailgate from being opened just like the locks on the doors. Lock the tailgate and the light will go off.

wiper wont work unless the window is up... window SHOULD roll up and lock the tailgate automatically.. sounds to me like the tailgate lock mechanism is not engaging properly...

Window is unlocked. Tail gate is closed, Window and wiper will not work. When I push the up button it beeps and when I go down all I here is the silonoid clicking.
