where is the rear window defroster relay located in a 2004 Toyota Four Runner, would this also control the rear wiper arm?
Try something simple: just open and re-close the rear window. The window has a safety switch that keeps the wiper, washer and heater from working if the window is open. The window settles down (from opening and closing the hatch) over time the window settling triggers the switch. If you open and re-close the window it resets the switch and everything works again. My 2003 4 Runner does this over time. I just open it and re-close it to fix the problem.
how do remove the tailgate's window motor on a toyota 4runner 1997 ?
Some rear window defoggers are filaments built into the rear window that heat up when the rear defogger is turned on. This type of window should not be scraped with an ice scraper.
Turn on the ac if you have it.

The best way to put down back window in a Toyota 4Runner is to put it down with the key fob. However, if that does not work, you can utilize the switch on the dash.
it could need a greasing, but to be safe you should check it to see if any of the parts inside are broken.
In most cases controlled by rear window defogger switch
the rear window above the defogger
The fuse for the rear defogger is located behind the glove box. Just had mine replaced.
Rear window relay is inside the pillar on drivers side - its easiest if you remove th rear passenger interior side panels
They make kits that are sold in most autoparts stores for repairing the broken wires on the rear defogger. Pretty inexpensive.
