run two wires form the motor when you ground one out and put power to the other one it will move ant switch the ground and power wires and it will move the other way. if you live near sactramento i have a white 85 4runner tail gate in good condition ill sell you for $100

no thanks this one works fine..

i found out i just need to run power to the red/yellow wire and it goes up. i think down is the bluie/black one?

i called toyota  and they have officially lost their minds.

a stock factory tailgate swith they wanted $82.15 for.

I have 2 runners and had this problem with both of them.  It's the switch in the center console that goes bad and at least with mine, it was the down part of the switch that didn't work. 

what I did was cut the plastic connectors off the switch and then use 2 bad switches next to each other.  The part of the switch that made the window go up worked on both so I just wired it so if you pushed the switch on the left the window goes up, if you pushed the switch on the right the window goes down.

I took out the window lock button and made room for the 2 switches next to each other in the center console.

much better than paying $82 for a new switch and it didn't cost anything.

It worked for me...

Which one? In the center console, or the one in the tailgate that the key goes in? Did you get the P/N?

thats for the switch in the console. I have used switches if you want one

In my runner, the window in back wouldn't go up or down with the key either.  i only use the switches in the center console now. 

if someone has a used switch for sale for cheap, buy it.

unless you install a aftermarket harness, you need all the factory harness/sensors. i tried without, no workie. if you want, i have a good wiring harness i can sell you, it came from an 87 runner, and includes the whole gate, into the cab as well
