I know a lot of y’all drive 4runners and I can’t find much elsewhere on how to fix this.

I have a gen 5 4Runner platinum. Brought it in to get new tires today. When I got it back I put my front driver side window down on the way home. When I tried to roll it up it automatically went back down to halfway.

No matter what I do it keeps rolling down. Anyone have this issue before?

Yep. It's called owning a piece of shite.


Edit: my main problem is the engine in the vehicle. V6 5 speed with 270 up getting 17mpg (which is going to be a big deal in a few years). I get the price is attractive but you shouldn't be looking to accomplish off-roading on a budget.

The new tires shouldn't have anything to do with that. Just get it looked at before it might possibly fall down into the frame.

To answer the OP, this happened to our 4 runner a couple years ago. It was a small part that went out. Took it to dealer and they fixed it no problem. We were still in warranty.

I'd disconnect the battery and let it sit for 30 minutes.

I had a rear window issue with my Lexus. I read somewhere that if you hold down the window button in the front while slamming the back door it would fix it. It worked.

I dont remember if the process I described is exactly right but it was something like that.

So you are a dodge person?

By far the worst reliability of any manufacturer.

Sounds like a contact on the switch is bad.
Take switch out, roll it up and then disable the switch. (Unplug harness) order a new window switch on Prime, have it Monday.

Says someone who probably drives a Ford or Chevy and hates Toyota simply because it isn't an American company, regardless of how good its products may be.

Impossible. 4runners last 15 years and 250k miles minimum without a single issue.

Stalker doenvote for correct advice?
If unplugging the switch Ave the window still goes down, then it's the motor.
But a failing motor won't go up or down. Failing window actuator will causeit to jam up going down or up and make it fall on it's on, not mechanically.

If it's going down under power then it's the switch, if it fails with no power it's the actuator and many times you reuse the old motor.
