Anyone got rear window wiring diagram or info?

[codlord]

Does anyone have rear window wiring diag or experience - specifically I want to wire a switch to operate the rear window even when the ignition is off - i.e. wire into the key up/down wires. If anyone has info that may save me a bit of time I would appreciate it.

Reason is: Sometimes when away for weekends I sleep in the back of the Hilux, getting out from the tailgate is tricky cos it means I have to turn the ignition on and use the switch up-front - I want to put a switch in the back that works with the ignition off so I can get in/out without hassle.

Just take a feed off the wires to the key switch and run a switch inside the car. The keyswitch on the tailgate operates without the ignition on.

Just what I was about to say

Yeah thats I what I had planned, I was just wondering if anyone knew where the wires from the key go
i.e. I could tap into the wires at or near the key but that is awkward to get to as its behind the glass etc - I was hoping to find out that the wires were available from the "top" of the door when it is lying flat:


I expect they are there somewhere but which colour wires etc? Just thought someone may know if they had done some wiring there already.

Just following up on this, I've done a write up on how to do what you need:-
