Rear Window Relay HELP

[dedmo13]

I am from Australia and the cost of a new relay unit costs from $520 to $600 here. Can anyone help me with some alternitive places to get it shipped from? Cheaper Places. or even some one with spares.

These small relays are available off the rack from Maplins UK

I bought some the other day, as having looked at a new board,
for similar money to you, I had the same thought.

if they cant' supply you, let me know

All I know is there is no power comming from the rear door key lock and the centre console switch. I am assuming its this little blue box which needs replacing. Or have you had similar problems and found the replacement of the solinoid to fix?

Hi

Right I've had car for three weeks now, and at once, there was the prob' with window.

using key, would 'drop' window OK, but hardly ever raise without a fight.
same with switch.

So, had mechanic look over it,
he suggested a new board ultimately,
but to avoid shocking costs, he re-soldered odd contact on mine,
whilst I looked about for replacement relays,

as these are the likely failed slightly moving parts in the whole system, once we'd ruled out;
broken cables/fuses/switch/key barrel etc.

Once I'd done a search on this site I unearthed this schematic



which together with numerous threads, indicates the relays as being the first components worth replacing, especially as they are small change to buy



hope this helps,

Dude, you gotta change your user name, every time I read one of your posts my screen goes all lop-sided!

hi there i have a similar problem in that the window goes down with the centre console but not with the back lock at all can anybody suggest anything and if its the relay where abouts are they, many thanks Nigel

fattman

might I suggest alook at relay #4 (according to drawing)


coincidentally, is anything clicking when you operate key?

[fattman]

hi, no there is no clicking with the key, ive replaced the key switch on the back door but to no luck ? HELP

[slowdown.harrison@gmail.c]

well

Right in the first instance;
I'm quite new to the surf world.

Having said that
( and fully expecting a boffin here in a minute correcting me)



If that was my problem I would go straight for the relay board
tucked in rear wing behind the cubby box
(panel out job)

and possibly buy a cuople of little relays from Maplins
as pictured above

and get someone to solder them in for you, if you don't fancy doing it

[fattman]

Thanks Ill Give That A Try, Are They Expensive ?

[slowdown.harrison@gmail.c]

hi again

Sorry for delay, apparently BT have played up tonight

Maplins JM67's are pennies to buy, so even paying an engineer to solder them in for you would still be hundred of pounds less than a new board off Toyota


now,


have you inspected the connecting wire between car/tailgate,
might conceivably be frayed,
aside from that, there don't appear to be any more moving parts in that area, that might be guilty

[Medieval Dave]

Could be a broken wire where the loom goes from the boot lid to the chassis (a little bit of black ribbed cable trunking with a black plastic cover) Cant remember which wire it is if it closes but wont open. was either the green with red or the green with yellow I think, but I posted the full bit after I fixed it on mine on this section. have a search and you'll find it.
