I'm wanting to meet up with someone who has a first gen 4runner with the working back window. I replaced the relay that makes it go down, every function works except power window down, so I'm at a lost as to what could be the problem?? So if you have a fully functional back window I want to swap relays for a sec just to rule that out as a problem. Thanks to anyone who can help!!

Do you mean the switch inside the cab?
On 1st gen 4runners there's a relay behind the driver's side panel sort of near where the lower seat belt retractor is. I'm pretty sure mine is bad, I'm thinking about just buying a $80 wiring bypass kit from 12voltguy.com to bypass all the stupid stock safety switches.
I might still have the wiring from mine.
I used 2 on-off-on toggle switches, and one momentary.
to go up:
switch one in the up position gives one wire to the motor a positive.
switch two in the up position gives the other wire a negative.
momentary switch provides power to switches 1 and 2 and makes the window go up.
to do down:
switch one in the down position gives one wire to the motor a positive.
switch two in the down position gives the other wire a negative.
momentary switch provides power to switches 1 and 2 and makes the window go down.
I could draw out a diagram if you wanted to try this way. But Im sure there are others on here who have a better way of wiring it.
The window motor is only a 2 wire, hooked up one way goes up, then reverse the polarity and the window goes down.

I think I know how you have it hooked up. I'm thinking about hooking up a 3 way switch, I replaced one of the 4 individual relays in that relay box which was supposed to be the up relay.
Everything works except window up.. the motor is good because I can hook power and ground up to it either way and roll the window up or down.

Have you tested the switch in both positions with a meter?
