My rear window on my 86' 4Runner won't open or close when i use the key on the tailgate. But it will work when i use the interior switch. This just happened today. Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can i fix it?

 

Anyone? Bueler?

 

my key has never worked either. iv herd if you get a new key from toyota or something it might work but cant remember.

 

Yeah but the strange thing is that it just stopped working randomly one day (a few days ago…)

 

Bump to the top.

 

change out the key switch maybe, mine goes down but not up by the key switch...

 

Mine seems to work in the Winter but not in the Summer. We only have 2 seasons here in socalif

 

I guess i can tear it apart tomorrow and see what's up.

 

It sounds like the switch just died since it works from inside . Real easy to take apart and check out

 

Ok should be no problem then, i hope… lol

 

I have a similar issue. my window will not go up or down with either of the switch or key. worked fine 2 days ago. got it to go down by jumping it from inside so it is not the motor.

 

Yeah lots of window problems goin on I guess. I went wheelin 2 weeks ago took my topper off so I wouldn't be sweatin like a pregnant woman and left it off over night it rained but I was camped out in the back of the truck with my sweet tent setup so water damage isn't likely. So I put my top back on like I have done before. Now no window control from inside cab or tg. My rear wiper doesn't even work now. Checked for blown fuses no luck. Check and rechecked kill switch at rear of bed looks good. I've had a tarp on my truck for 2 weeks now. What is going on? What could cause this. Also I dig drag and hit my rear bumper a few good times on some big rocks. Checked the rear glass and its on track. No tg damage either

 

Yeah my 86 sometimes throws a fit when I use the key, goes down always but sometimes not up. I think it just has its moments, but its probably a connection issue with the back key switch.

 

Mods please move this from "newbie section" to "electrical" or a 4runner section

Good link ^

 

Got it! "A bolt" link was messed up. I even read this page before I did the search too. Had to take the side covers off to get to the connection

 

I'm gonna check mine now!!!

 

If it was your a bolt the front switch wouldn't work I say just get a new rear switch

 

Not true, i put the bolt in and it worked!
