Interesting...I'm not sure what you're saying about the rear switch in the back to raise and lower the window though...but my switch in the center console won't lower/raise my rear window, either. After some voltage readings, I determined power was getting TO the switch so...hey, switch right? Wrong (And it was $35 from Toyota, too). Frustrated, I got a wire and started jumping each of the 5 possible contacts in the terminal harness going to the switch...and discovered I can lower and raise the window by 2 unique sets of contacts....?? I ccould re-wire the switch...but I'd sure like it to work like it was suppose to, ya know. Your problem sounded like there was no way this would have worked though, right?
