Hey guys, my tailgate window motor finally died the other day. I ordered a used motor from Collier's successor, Jenny. I hooked it up and nothing happened. Just so everyone is aware, I already had my window motor wired directly to my own toggle marine switch earlier this year because the window started to "act up". Now I don't know what is wrong. I have tested both motors (when out of the truck) and the original while still in the truck by hooking the motor directly to a battery. I know this procedure should work since I have done this before, but neither motor will do anything. Its getting pretty darn cold here in Indiana so any help would be appreciated.

 

maybe the used motor that you got is bad?

 

fried motors both of them.. you can also use one from a drivers 4 door runner!

 

Will the mounting bolts line up correctly if its from the driver side door?

 

from a 4 door iknow they do i used one in my runner for sure!

 

Call Deathcougar at nix99. Just got a motor and regulator from him, worked flawlessly. He knows a lot about old Toyotas. But speak to him, not someone else.

 

I did this yesterday. Drive gear on the old unit was chewed up, pulled the driver's side window motor - direct bolt in, although it looks like the poles are reversed between the two versions. I may have the plug out by 180 degrees, but to go up, I use the down switch and vice versa. Easy fix either way and my window is once again moving.

 

Thx for the help guys. I got it to work.
