  • This is the fastest and easiest way to fix the tailgate window on a 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 or 1995 Toyota 4runner. In this video I will show you how to disable the rear wiper blade motor and bypass the wiper blade position sensor so you can restore the functionality of your rear tailgate window on your second generation 2nd Gen Toyota 4 runner.

      This would have saved me an hour or so if I would have looked it up a little sooner... but when I found it I was sure grateful.. took me less than 2 minutes to fix!

    Oh my god this saved my life. exactly my situation. I just ripped off the back off the tail gate too like you did, I couldn’t figure out where the electronics for the window actually was so I searched this up hell yeah saved me lots of time

    This video is very well done. It's tough to find good how-to's on 2nd gen's these days as they're getting pretty old. Thanks for putting in the time to make a quality, step-by-step, video on this. I'm hoping it'll get my window working. I usually have to go in the car, start it up, then press the window down button 20-60 times for it to roll down. The wiper being in slightly the wrong spot seems like a possible cause.
    EDIT: Looks like that wasn't the issue...any thoughts on what it could be? The fact that it will roll down if I try enough times, and it clicks every time I press the button, tells me it is getting power. Maybe it's the relay?

      It’s been so long since I’ve worked on my rear window I don’t remember all the components. There are a few safeties that can prevent it from working such as the door must be closed to operate it. But a really is a great place to start. Relays can get fail in lots of ways including sounding like they click but not passing current. I think the relay is a great place to start.

      @BenHuttash  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hell yes! I'm glad it was useful to you. I drove around for over year with my window not working until I figured out this little bypass of the wiper motor. I still haven't felt the need to try and fix it properly where I can use the rear wiper.

    @goodtry100 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    My son was returning to college and his back window would not go down. We tried the first trick of seeding the rear wiper and it worked. The rear window is now operational and the time it took to fix was about 1 minute. Thanks for the tip.

Then yesterday the window wouldn't roll down with the key. 🥴 Stumbled on your video!!! Manually parked wiper. Now the key and inside button work to operate the window! 🥳
    Will continue on with bypassing wiper motor as you suggest 😉

    Thanks for the great video. I'm going to give your fix a try. On my 1990, the rear window seems like it starts to go a little bit and then stops. I have a brand new battery so I don't think that's the issue. Do you think it could be a weak motor? Your motor looked super efficient. All my power windows seem weak.

      @BenHuttash  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Stephan sleeis I hope the link to this image works. The way the wiper knows what position it is in is with the park contacts scooting across a contact ring. I have never taken mine apart to see what's wrong but I imagine that these contacts have gotten dirty, have worn down or have broke off. If you wind up fixing it let me know how it goes. Here are two links to a wiper motor with the cover off of it, not sure what car this came off of but they are all more or less the same. goo.gl/images/STqxnN pop.h-cdn.co/assets/cm/15/05/480x304/54cab355033b7_-_wipers_03_630_1110-de-65918479.jpg

      So itsnpossible that the rear window itself is failing. I replaced the original rear glass in mine a year or two ago cause it turns out the entire bottom steel frame (that lets it be lowered and raised, which also has the electrical connections for the defogger) had rusted out completely

      I finally fixed my rear window. Problem: Inside console switch worked fine but key did not work. Rear window regulator was fine as were all fuses. I replaced rear gate key tumbler since original barely turned with key, but that did not work. Dealer did not want to trouble shoot the problem so they gave me a referral of a mechanic who did auto electrical work. He fixed the problem which was the wiring harness fot the rear gate. It comes out of gate and travels under the truck and had broken wires due to exposure. Now my key operates the rear gate window.

    Is it possible that sometimes it can just be caused by a popped fuse?

    • @BenHuttash
      @BenHuttash  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Adventures of Robert I don't think so, not unless it was one of the main 50 or 60 amp fuses. The problem is almost always in the interlock switches built into the rear wiper motor. Sometimes you can wack the wiper motor and get it to work a few times. Inside the rear wiper motor are two flat spring contacts that limit when you can operate the rear window. They are kind of like Reed valves that drag along a copper contacts. The spring park gets weak and dirty with the wiper motor grease. That is why sometimes you can bring it back to life by moving the wiper blade around.
