As far as I know there is no way to get the window down other than removing the motor itself. The motor is what holds the window up when closed. Make sure its the motor that has failed. There is also a switch located on the drivers side latch inside the gate that is designed to not allow the window to open when the gate is down. If that switch fails it the window motor will not function at all. I used a wire jumper to bypass the switch and solved my problem.

How do you work on a rear window of 1990 Toyota 4 runner when the motor stopped with window up?

The best way, is to go inside, remove the tailgate's interior trim and moulding. After removing the plastic sheeting, you can then access the regulator (the scissor looking part with the motor). Remove the bolts that hold the regulator. Now very carefully without bending in or out, because you could break the back-light (rear glass), lower the whole assembly down into the tailgate. You may have to jiggle it up and down slightly. When the glass has cleared the frame, pull on the cables that activate the latches. With the help of an assistant on the outside lower the tailgate. Now you can work on the problem with ease. Inspect the regulator, wiring etc. for wear and tear as well as rust.Good luck!

1987 4 Runner rear window will not unlock tailgate and is in down position will not go back up How do you fix this?

Internally its connected to the window motor gear drive. Lower the window and open the door. Remove the 2 panels that cover the door mechanism. Locate the lock and its arm. You will probably see that the plastic clip that holds it in place has either come off or broke. Reinstall or buy a new one as necessary.

How do I open the tailgate to a 1989 jeep grand wagoneer?

You first have to lower the rear window. If the switches don't work you need to remove the carpet covering the tail gate then remove the metal cover from the tail gate. You will need to reach inside and disconnect the window from the arms that raise it so that it can be lowered. once it is lowered you should be able to open the tail gate.
