so how did u get the window down?

my lock switch is broken!

I can’t even get my window down with the battery trick lol. Must be my motor that’s broken

Bro I love you, you saved me from like 3+ hours of looking through threads on threads about this window. What worked for me was to clean the latches with a whole lot of WD40 and compressed air and it was basically brand new. Thank you so much brotha

My 1988 toyota 4runner currently has a problem with one of the sliders, the rolling button on the slider track was worn out so when the back door rolls up the rolling button ran off the slider track then one side of the window is not pushed up because the button was off the slider track, curtain l y need help to get this problem solved. Please respond me.

anyone know the part numbers for the window seals and channels?

He Paul. Awesome video. You captured the magic!

Ok I have an 87. Window does the same thing it won’t go up the last 1/8th of an inch, no broken teeth. I am fine with where the window stop because it doesn’t leak or smell like exhaust but because of that small gap the rear wiper also won’t work. I’m trying to find a way to get the wiper to work regardless of where the glass is even if it’s all the way open. You have any idea where the top out switch is so I can get the wiper to work? Thanks and I know your video is like 8 years old lol 😂. Hopefully your still driving your 4Runner.

To be clear,the 2 terminals for the motor are both POSITIVE not a pos and neg...the switch completes the ground circuit abd makes it go up or down

Is that a Ljungstrom Sail?

Why didn't you get a new switch?

This is a great overview. Very easy to follow you.

Do you know the size gauge wire , so I can get the correct connector.

My 87 toyota pickup used to do that

This video helped put me on the right track but after struggling to get the back door light to stay off I found out you actually jump the white/black ground wire to the blue/red wire. Don’t touch the green wire. It will bypass just like this, without the back door light staying on! Also, put the scotch lock on the latch side of the wiring, that way if you ever decide to replace the latch the factory side of the harness is still untouched

this is amazing

This is so awesome!!!!

Happy Rock still makes me happy! I love this so much. I want to hear “Pockets.”

Love it! I remember these KIDS!

Wow. Made my way here from a Facebook 90’s Hardcore/Punk/Emo group and still regret not getting my hands on this cassette at Unfound Logic’s last show at the Lizard & Snake. This takes me back to great times at great shows with great friends!

Awesome brother, I went through most of this years ago and it’s not going down again so your very simple video has refreshed the places I need to find again to get it down and find the problem. If that wasn’t enough for anyone else out there they should not be trying to do anything on the truck. The guy that asked about a bad motor, I would try to find a new one (good luck) and replace it all from the inside unfortunately or go mcgyver and play the linkage game after the bad one is out. Still looking for a little more info on the actual relay just in case it can be repaired if that happens to be the problem but overall that was perfect for reminding me where everything is before I climb through to the inside and it’s impossible to find anyone who just gives a damn good info video anymore so hit me up cause you deserve a beer. 6 stars.

Dude, replacing my rear tailgate on my '86, and this is just what I needed to know in order to remove the glass/motor stuff, thanks!

this video is a fucking masterpiece.

Appreciate all that advice - Love my 4Runner...Hate that tailgate

didnt work for me. window rolled down but bypassing it the key and switch still dont dp anything

I believe I have that same rub mark on the glass on my 86 4Runner. I was wondering what that was from. So far the window always goes up and down - keep fingers crossed. The rub mark I believe has been there since we’ve had the vehicle in 1989.

This brings back so many good memories. Riding beach cruisers in the alley ways.

Man I'll never forget seeing Unfound Logic at the South Congaree Legion Hut around 96 or so. I believe Self and Shirley Temple of Doom also played that night. Unfound Logic blew me and my friends away! My buddy bought the Durn cassette and between us we wore that thing out!

Hey thanks for that info. I have an 86 that works perfect but I am painting it now and glad to see how the inside of gate looks with window up. I'm going to remove the tailgate light bar and so forth when I paint the tail gate. I'm in NC too, one owner on my 86 for 34 years, my neighbor.

Hey, I have the same 4Runner with the same problem. You’re method did work,although I am looking for the source of the problem. Have any ideas??

97 fran days

dont throw yourself under the bus you explained everything perfect so you are a pretty fair talker i have a 86 with the same problem

I'm about to tackle my rear window on a 2000. It goes up & down but stops sometimes & I have to wiggle it some or pull up some to get it to finish closing. I can't complain, these damn things run forever, am I right?

You rock man! Seriously, great info. Thank you for making this video 🤙

that sea turtle was SO pretty!

Can anyone tell me the part number for the back window regulator assembly? I am having a hell of a time finding it

Getting on mine right now. Thx for the video and the information 🤘

Thanks!! So awesome. You're a good talker

Awesome vid going to try some of these tips right now!!!👍👍👍

This is the exact video I’ve been looking for. I have warn out teeth like you had. I bought a new tailgate at a pick n pull and was gonna just replace the gear. Would that be harder than just welding new teeth? Also, do you happen to know if the the 2nd gen tailgate (94) has the same wire color for by passing the closing sensor? Thanks for this video.

Where can I buy that bypass connector? I figured jump the 2 wires together and leave the yellow wire connected but that did not work

This is great. Thank you for sharing. It helps us plenty.

Thank you so much man insanely helpful you deserve the noble peace award

Thanks so much for this video. Will be working on mine tomorrow.

If the motor is bad how do you get the window down.

FYI on the safety switch/latch on the back tailgate on these older runners. They are notorious for getting dirty and stop functioning. That's usually when the window stops working, etc. So, before going thru the hassle of bypassing that switch and maybe before it quits working where you have to go thru the process of getting the window down, spray a liberal amount of contact cleaner into the latch assembly. Work it in there by using a screwdriver or something similar to push or flip the latch closed and open a bunch of times. Moving the latch back and forth with cleaner will clean up the contacts in there. I do this when it starts acting up and not wanting to work until you have to shut the tailgate a few times. That's my Q to get the cleaner spray out.

Marvelous!! where i can found construction drawings? i wanna build my own!!

Thanks! KB Honolulu, Hawaii

Toyota must have hired a bunch of total nerds to design this back door. I want to change the brake light bulbs but the window is stuck so I can get to 2 - 10mm bolts to get the lens off, smh.

Correction... Re-setable relay on the bottom of the sensor! Lol
