Power windows not working (3 Viewers)

[tmdvtpike]

Looking for some guidance. I have a 2005 LX470. Some of the windows stopped working, here is the summary:

DS Front - Works normally
PS Front - Only works from the window switch on the PS door
DS Rear - Does not work from driver's switch or the door switch
PS Rear - Only works from the window switch on the PS door

I checked the fuses in the PS kick panel and all were good. Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? Any tips on what to check next? Both DS and PS fuse panels have not been kicked and there is no evidence of water getting into the cabin... that I can see.

Contacts in the switches, wiring in the harnesses.

Have you tried doing a relearn on the door switches? You hold down each window switch, then hold up. Sometimes they lose their memory.

Same thing is happening with my ‘05 LC. After reading the different threads here and I happened to stop by my Landcruiser only mechanic, we decided it’s the master switch. I ordered one from EBay. The memory trick with rolling windows up and down didn’t work for me.

This is very helpful and I appreciate the link. Have you installed the new master switch yet and did it solve the problem? I assume swapping it out is pretty simple task... easier than door lock actuators...?

It hasn’t come in yet. The original receipt date was the beginning of April, but it’s already shipped. So hopefully soon. I’ve taken my doors apart in the past, it’s not difficult to get to the switch if I recall correctly.

If the switch doesn’t solve the problem, then it will likely be broken wires in the DS door. It’s the only one ever used. Fingers crossed for the cheap and easy fix.

On my LX, My issue was the "up" function for the RR window quit working.
Window does go "up" from RR door switch, but not the master switch in drivers door.

I've got 2 replacements from ebay (one was a "free" replacement + $6 shipping cost) and both had the same issues and both came from CHINA.

LED in LF switch flashes on/off with key on.
LED in RF, LR and RR are all lit solid (not flashing)
ALL windows work, but Auto Up/Down doesn't work for LF.
Oddly, it does work for all others!
"relearn" didn't work for me on either of the 2 chinese master switches (am I holding it wrong?)

Contacts feel sloppy for door lock/unlock and don't always work the first time button is pushed (original door lock button works better).

But hey, my RR up now works with chinesium part...so I am looking for options
Salvage yards or Mud classifieds?
Partsouq shows not avail, but a few are seen at Amayama

Can the OEM master switch be rebuilt with new contacts/parts?

Anyone want to tear apart a Chinese copy to see if it can be brought up to Mr T quality?

If you find a Seller on ebay for Drivers Master Switch and their part worked in your LX, let me know.
I am game to try another ebay seller before I drop 3 benjamin's

Following because my driver and rear passenger window randomly stopped working the other day. It's all back now, but I have a feeling this replacement is looming.
