I posted my FJ55 for sale on craigslist this morning, hopefully looking to trade for an FJ62... and then I just got really sad and changed my mind and went out and dragged it out of the pasture and started taking inventory of all that I need to do to it to get it driving.
Right now, I just need to clean it out. It's got 10 years of Nevada dust inside it, plus a few years of Grass Valley dust and dirt in it now, and it's just nasty inside. I am going to pull the seats out and just hose it out with soap and water, just get in and start scrubbing. I need to get the rear hatch open though, and the window isn't opening.
I hooked a batter and alligator clips up, and it clunks up and down, but there is NO movement from the window. I suspect that little gear is dead, but I have no idea how to get the window down without the motor working. IS there a trick? I'm sure it's doable.. but I broke the window on the junkyard pig I took parts off trying to get it down.. don't want to do the same to mine.
