Is there a deck light on a Toyota 4Runner?
The only cool thing about the deck light is that it has both front and rear switches, wired up like you would have in a hallway with a switch at each end. Turn the light on with one switch, walk down the hall and turn the light off with the other switch. So, while this deck light is sort of lame, it has promise.
How do you re-power a Toyota 4Runner?
First step is to re-power it off the battery. Pull the lower dash off, disconnect the deck light plug and find the dark green wire (upper left of the connector) – that supplies power to the whole circuit. I cut it, spliced in a male and female spade connector and then tapped into my CB radio power feed.

Where is the integration relay on a Toyota 4Runner?
All of your power windows operate through one large fuse block called the integration relay. It is located on the back of the fuse box behind the driver’s side kick panel. The relay is connected to a fuse. Although, you might want to check the fuse first.
How do you change the fuse on a Toyota 4Runner?
Set your multimeter to ohms and touch the probes to the opposing prongs on the fuse. If the meter doesn’t change, then the fuse needs to be replaced. If the meter shows less than one ohm, then the fuse is still good. Below the fuse box you should see the integration relay.

What to do if your power window is not working?
If the contacts are dirty, spray them with contact cleaner and then wipe off the fluid with a cloth. Then, check it again using your multimeter.
