Rear Window, Defrost, Wiper not working

[jonih1234]

What about just the wiper and the sprayer not working?

07 Sequoia ... no other problems...tried it several weeks ago and it just will not come on.

I saw an earlier post about a fuse...is there one to replace?

Also, saw the issue that the rear window was not ALL the way up...I'll check that too.

Other suggestions?

Thanks,

J

penntl is right and I read this on another post. You need to remove the trim around the rear hatch, just pry it off. Start with top, then two side pieces, then big bottom piece. Also have to remove the rear door strap and bracket. Then remove the 8 or so bolts holding the big black metal cover in the middle of the rear door. Slightly loosen the 4 bolts holding the window motor assembly. Next, while someone depresses the rear window button, tap on the motor itself, located on the left of the assembly, with the handle of a screwdriver. Window started working.

05 Sequioa. Same problem. Will try this fix in the morning and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the info!!

This fixed it!! I guess lack of use causes this thing to get stuck!

I will put the window down every time I fill up from now on!

Same thing here. 05 SR5. Will take apart tonight and see what happens. Thanks for all the advice.

Want to tell everyone thanks for the posts. Without this forum I would have spent 750.00 at the dealer to fix this issue. I took it apart and tapped on the motor with a screwdriver and it worked. I then relubed everything I could get to with some STP. Hope it keeps working. My dealer has lost some credibility with me. I had them look at it and they told me it needed a new motor and ECU. They would have brought me more value if the dealer would have tried this trick first. Thanks everyone!
