My driver (right) side power window stops working when the ambient temperature is hot, which is often here in Vegas. I noticed a while back when the old battery voltage was low the window was intermittent. Now, when I use the window switch the voltage on the dash gauge drops while the switch is actuated (engine running). I took a video, but it’s probably more obvious to a more electrically-savvy individual. The battery is less than a year old, hasn’t failed to start, has normal voltage, but hasn’t been tested. Alternator hasn’t been tested either. All other electrics work fine. Vehicle is LJ71 Prado with 2LTE.

Stating the obvious I would check to make sure your grounds are good and the fusible link is good.
@afnos , I haven't seen you driving around town. Send me a private conversation and you can swing by my place and we can take a look at it. It is probably the switch or motor. I wouldn't think it is the alternator or battery.
Automotive Rebuilt Exchange on Commerce in Vegas does a great job. They rebuild both my Steering Box and Alternator over 4 years ago. I highly recommend them for either job.

dont forget 80 series switches and requlators are the same, thats what I used when my windows started playing up, cheap and plentiful

@Waikato Willy , that’s good info! Should be easier to source parts if needed.

@Waikato Willy, is that compatibility with a similar model year US spec FJ80? Looking at my local O’Reilly’s, they have some reman’d units.
