issue with rear window...

[alteredraptor]

now im not too sure if there is a thread about this here, i did some searching but couldnt find anything... ummm, 87 runner, last year my rear window and wiper worked just fine, now it wont do anything, i just went to the junkyard and found another runner so i took the relay box and the one switch that one top bolt hits, so i swapped them and still nothing... any suggestions on where to start?

fuse?
fiber glass top... ground?

I had an issue with bad connections at the relay box, i just had to bend the contacts a little. Bit if your wiper isn't working as well then I'd say start looking at one of the FSM's to see where the 2 come together.

ok, buddie from out of town came into town and helped me out abit, he knows more about wiring situations... he found there was power getting to the rear window, and so he closed the gap on the female connectors goin to the window motor and closed the gap there, plugged it back in and now the window works fine, thanks for the help tho, much appreciated!!!

also on toyota's remember that they don't turn on the power to an item. the switch connects the ground.

that is the case with most switches, they complete the circuit.
