This seems to be the problem with this model. All rear components worked great one day and not the next. Dealer said it was a motor failure for the wiper and window and recomended replacement. Fuses and harness have been checked. Does anyone have any other answers to this problem?

MasterI have seen two other people post the same question but unfortunately don't have an answer as to the cause or cure. Perhaps call a Toyota dealer or dealers in larger cities ask for there service department tell them you are miles away (so they won't try to lure you in) ask them if they have seen this problem.

jackpine October 25, 2009, 17:05ReplyRookieI have a 2006 Sequoia. I can't tell you "why", but this has happened to me twice, and each time I removed and replaced every fuse under the dash. After doing this, the rear window, wiper and washer all worked again. Note - no fuses were bad. and I pull and replaced every one!

Visitor, March 30, 2010, 07:13I answered this on a previos thread. Here is the shorter version. Lower window clean edges of window then raise window this will allow the micro switches to make full contact. This is per Toyota, mine works perfect now.
