Just purchased a 97' SR5 4runner. There doesn't seem to be a tailgate window switch anywhere inside the car. The tailgate goes down if you use the key in the rear lock - but other 4runners I looked at (mostly 2000s) had a switch on the dash (Limited) or on the armrest.

The armrest looks like it may have been replaced with the style that has 2 cupholders...could this explain why the switch is missing?

Can someone confirm if all 97 SR5 models had a tailgate switch?

When it was new rolling off the boat .

The rear window switch was on the console .

Who knows it might have broke and never was replaced or could have been relocated .

Thanks - do you mean the armrest/ebrake part of the console, or the part with radio / climate control?

It looks like the armrest was definitely replaced, the 2 cupholder style wasn't from 97. I'm hoping theres a loose plug under there and I just need to cut a hole and buy a tailgate switch.

Behind the shifter most likely
