i had a problem with my switch the one up front on my 87 4 runner , there is a way to by pass it , but i cant remeebr exactly how i did it , you run a jumper cable from one point to another on the switch and it will roll up , if everything is hooked up right and you have power to the switch up front , then you should be able to do the jump. if thats the case youll need a new switch , and if i remeber right there are a bit spendy . not your typical switch its a odd 3 way rocker type , and the 4 runners use an open ground type switch , where theres power all the time , and it opens and closes the ground to actuate power to rear window motor. so try and jump the ground points on the switch.
