Hi all, this is my 1st post on here, and im looking for some help fixing the tailgate window on my 91 2.4TD Hilux Surf.
My fella bought a surf a cple fo months ago and ever since we bought it the rear window was always slow to open and close, then it started intermittently opening and closing, opening being the hardest to do, it then ofc stopped altogether.
Following advice found on here via the searches i purchased four new relays, and changed the down relay, voila it went down, but then wouldnt go up, so changed the up the relay, window went up and down, then packed up, so after more searches here i sourced a new motor, from my local car scrappy, (took the front passenger motor from a 93 previa) motor was same, just needed to attach the plug from the old one.
Fitted the new motor by manually opening the window with tailgate down and glass supported on a workmate with cushions on it, tested the motor worked before fitting by connecting it up, anyway window went down, then again nothing and here is where i am at a loss as to what the actual problem is, window will not work from either the key or the internal switch, im kind of thinking its a mechanism/regulator problem? could this be the case? any advice and hints will be greatly appreciated, no way im going to let this beat me!
Just one thing, i have no experience or knowledge whatsoever when it comes to these things, the things i've done so far have purely been by reading old posts on here, and anything electrical im kind of clueless to technical terms, but ofc google is there to help
i did take the centre console apart also to have a look at the switch, which i did (look at it that is) before putting it back together as couldnt see anything obvious there except a bit of fluff.
kind regards
Becca
