Why do you want rear window relay(s) . What is happening to your window. There is a load of reasons for it not working.Do you want the relays contained in the box behind the passengerside rear panel ?
These are in a bank of 4 & can be obtained seperately & replaced by someone who can solder thru a circuit board ( i.e. a hi-fi repairer)
If these relays are faulty you can generally feel/hear a clicking from the faulty relay. Reversing the wires to the motor can fool the relay into thinking up is down etc.Also tapping the relay while contact is made may complete the connection.
If you ask at Toyota the whole box can cost £380 to replace, but I managed to get the 4 relays replaced by a hi-fi genius for about £42.
Hi Geoff
The mechanic who looks after my car took out the box and as you say it clicks if you tap it the window will complete the cycle,you say you got yours fixed by a hi fi engineer,do you have his phone number,also where will i get the relays from?
I,m in Middlesbrough so you really need to try locally 1st.If you try & find someone who can do the job they should be able to get you the relays.
If not send me a pm & I,ll get the info about the guy who did mine.
It might pay you to try Hilux Bob as well as he sometimes has gear like this
