P.S. I suspected that the window wouldn't operate when it thought the rear wiper was not in its proper resting spot. If a fuse isn't blown I'd start at the rear wiper.
Yeah, If that rear wiper is not in it's proper resting place the rear window won't work and your rear defogger won't work either witch is connected to your heats side views. I also read that if you disconnect the battery you have to push and hold the rear window button to make the window go down and hold it pushed for an extra 10 seconds. Then do the same going up, Push the up button and hold it for an extra ten seconds once the window is all the way up. This resets something with the rear window. I read about it somewhere on this site.

I just wish Toyota put the heated side view mirrors on it's own button instead of having it on the same switch as the rear defogger. I put the darkest tint you can find over the factory tint on my rear window so I don't look out it much wile driving because you can't see much threw it any way. So, I never use the rear wiper either. I depend on my side view mirrors and my back up camera for everything. So, the heated side view mirrors are VERY important to me but, I don't need the rear defoggers on at all. My Highlander has a separate switch for the heated mirrors, I wish they did the same for the Sequoia's. Johnnny
