    Can anyone tell me how to find the fuse(s) for the front and rear power windows on a 2016 TRD Tacoma?

    I opened the rear passenger side window from the driver's seat this morning to watch a moose eat breakfast. The switch did not respond when I wanted to close the window and go eat my breakfast. Of course it was 14 degrees at the time and I had a 70 mile highway drive ahead.The rear switches did not respond either, the trouble shooting guide in the manual did not yield results so I am trying the fuse route. The manual is useless and the fuse box map is written in a way I can not identify which one(s) work the windows.

    And...it is suppose to snow tomorrow. I'd appreciate any help,
    Andy

    Thanks for the link, though I saw this one earlier. The 2 fuse boxes look nothing alike. Here is a picture of mine:

    That pic is the under-the-hood fuse box... the one I sent is under the drivers side panel fuse box (you have both), behind the OBD2 reader aft of the hood release.

    EDIT... video 2 from the pick list on the right of this link page

    Thank you for the video, you're right, I was looking in the wrong fuse box. The fuses in that smaller box are all intact. That makes me think switches next? Any thoughts?

    Your window lock is likely on if only the drivers window is working.

    I would open up the door switch assembly and put a meter on the subject switch to see if it is indeed receiving power first.

    First 90 seconds of video demonstrates how to access the switch plug... if you’re not sure how to troubleshoot the switch, then you should seek professional assistance. Issue could be anywhere inline, or the switch itself... make sure to meter the fuses as well. Wouldn’t hurt to swap out a 20 amp fuse that you know to work with the suspect window as well.

    I'll replace a fuse anyway and see if that works. The window lock is not engaged, that was the first thing I checked while looking at the moose. I am grateful for all the advice.

    So here is how the story ended....I took it to the dealer and they had trouble diagnosing but concluded the window control panel next to the drivers seat needed to be replaced. Still under warranty!
    Thanks again...back on the snowy roads.....

    Have you unplugged and then replugged the battery? That did it for me

    3 year 36k warranty I believe

    I'll remember the battery reboot should it happen again...
