Passenger window won’t roll up?

    So yesterday while cruising I rolled the passenger window down, when I did the switch got stuck in the down position and after freeing it, it wouldn’t roll back up. After taking off the switch and inspecting, I realized that the plastic housing the switch sits in had broke. I figured it was an easy fix, just order a new switch assembly. Before ordering I borrowed a buddies switch panel from his truck (almost identical to mine) and plugged it into my door harness, it didn’t work. I’m not sure if it’s just the switch or if it caused a chain reaction and burned out the motor. The passenger switch doesn’t do anything, but the drive side switch works for the driver window. Anybody have any suggestions? My main concern right now is just getting the window up for the time being, it’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow.

    Hard to say. Could be the motor fried, or the window is just jammed, or the constant current burned out the passenger side switch. Here's what I can tell you. There's 1 fuse for each door. So, the fuse that feeds the drivers door switch supplies power to each window motor, when operated from the drivers door. So, in other words, if the drivers door window works from the drivers door switch, but the passenger window does not work from the drivers side switch, the problem is NOT the drivers door fuse. The next thing worth mentioning, is that the drivers and passengers switches are wired together, so for the passenger window to work, both the drivers and passengers switches must be good.

    I checked both fuses and they’re both good.

    First make sure you don't have the window Lock switch pressed on the drivers side control panel.

    Did you check the fuses with DMM or just visually? ( Note: You can't tell reliably by sight only, get a meter and check).

    This power window circuit schematic may help:

    https://www.customtacos.com/tech.ol...toyewd/06toypdf/ewd/2006/tacoma/h/em01d25.pdf

    Check to see if you have power at the White Wire on the switch in the passenger door. If no power the fuse for the passenger door window is blown. If you have power you need to check the ground wires ( Lavender with Yellow Stripe AND Black Wires ) Both of these act as a ground via the drivers door panel when none of the switches are activated. If you have power on the White Wire and the Ground is good when you activate the passenger side window switch the regulator should operate the widow. If not then the window is binding, the motor is defective or the wire from the switch to the motor is open.

    So I ordered a new switch and regulator with motor, just installed both. I turn the key on the truck after installing the regulator and the motor turns on without hitting any switches and brings the hangers all the down, and now won’t go back up. I can hear the motor clicking when pulling up on either switch. So obviously the motor has power but it being fed a constant down signal? Again, I am not very electrically inclined so I may be in over my head but any help would be greatly appreciated!

    It's going to be very difficult to try to describe all the different ways to test this with a multimeter, since both side door switches are tied together and both have to be functioning correctly for things to work right. However, here is something to get you headed in the right direction. Each door has it's own fuse. So, pull out the P/W switch fuses 1 at a time. Which ever fuse sparks when you plug it in, that door switch should be suspicious. Not a guaranteed failure, but suspect.

    I went out and pulled the fuses, no sparks or burnt fuses. I’m at the end of my rope here! Thank you for your help muddin.

    You had the key turned on when you tried the fuses, right? If so, and there's no spark when you plug in the fuse, then the motor isn't constantly energized as you were suspecting.

    Not sure if related to your issue but thought I share my experience. I had my dclb at the dealer to do some routine maintenance and let them know the passenger window was not functioning from the driver panel. They found code B2313 Window Glass Initialization Incomplete. They performed window glass initialization and the code cleared and passenger window was functioning from drivers side panel again.

    You need two things to get this sorted out:

    1. Someone that knows how to properly use a VOM ( volt ohm meter ) and a meter.
    2. Someone that can understand the schematic that I linked above.

    If you have these two things it would be a simple matter to fix. Maybe post an assistance request in the Texas Forum. A local member may volunteer to drop by and assist.
