    So all of a sudden the other day, after having been working earlier in the day, all my windows except the driver one decided to stop working.

    I changed the fuse for windows (even though it looked fine) but still not working.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Is there any chance you've accidentally enabled the window lock button?

    Do they not work from the drivers side master switch?
    Or do they not work from any switch at all?

    Exactly! Look at your arm rest with the switches. See that big black button you never use? Press it and see if the windows now work.

    If it's not the lock . . . when I first got mine both the passenger window and electric mirror wouldn't work. I pulled off the panel at the driver's side and the switch thingies in there were toast. Got them cheap off eBay, I think they were sold as/for a Camry or Rav4 or some passenger car but you could see by the pics they were exactly the same. The Tacoma ones were twice as much lol

    All the grounds go through the master switch.
    90% of the time it’s the switch.

    That’s why I asked if they don’t work from the other switches as well.

    Seems it was the lock but i had clicked it a bunch and it didn't work so figured that was not is. but guess it was just stuck, after popping up the panel and unplugging then replugging the connectors, it worked.

    Good to hear, I had a weird issue with my truck when I first got it. All the windows worked except the left rear. After chasing it with a multimeter, it turned out to be a plug under the driver's side kick panel. It was just pulled out enough to only affect that window, despite the many wires going into it that probably controlled the door locks and such also. Pushed it back in and its worked ever since.
