Rear Window Dead?

[dr427]

I fixed mine with a right door window motor off ebay. I took the gear out of the old rear window and replaced it with the salvaged one I got off ebay and works great! Really wasn't difficult at all. Had I been thinking I would have taken pictures of the step by step process, but it really wasn't difficult at all.

Well, my wife's fixed itself while I was printing out the tsb!

Thanks guts......

Where is the fuse for this thing. There are no fuses where the manual says it is.

Had the same problem twice on my 2005 Sequoia. Rear window, wiper and defogger all dead. First time it was repaired under warrenty (29,000 miles) about a year ago. This time I have 45,000 miles (althought only 29 months old) and the service center quoted $650 to repair, at my cost. Both times they say the window motor shorted out and ECU for the window shorted out as well. That part (the ECU) alone they quoted as $219. I did not get it fixed. I read through the Techncial Service Bulletin EL007-06 and it sounds like a lengthy process, especially drilling out the rivits. However, from reading above, it looks like the process will fix the root cause. I'd like to know if anyone has approached Toyota with this common design flaw issue and had a positive response from them, i.e., they would help defer the cost of fixing their design error.

I own a 2005 Toyota Sequoia and have the same problem. The rear window will not go down. I took it into the dealer and they said that the rear window motor and the ECU would have to be replaced. The total cost would be $845.00. The breakout of the price is as follows: $323.77 for the motor (part # 85710-00070), $258.06 for the ECU (part # 89222-00020) and $2.56 for two rivets (part number 90269-05035). There would also be 2.0 hours of labor.

Has anyone else been quoted a price this high? Also, does anyone know where I can go to order the parts myself?
