Passenger window quit working

I'd want to follow the diagrams and troubleshooting steps in the repair manual:

Toyota Service Information and Where To Find It | PriusChat

 

Does it not work from either of the door switches?

 

Neither, probably, are the parts you would buy trying to guess at the problem. Those don't even have the library option.

Without looking at the diagram, it's easy to underestimate what's involved in the system, or the number of things worth checking.

 

That plays out better for some systems in the car than for others ... chiefly, the ones that have a history of failing a lot, with some specific failure mode in common. Those are the ones where your first search for related threads on the forum will probably already show you a lot of results, with common elements in them.

A lot of other systems in the car just don't fail as much, and when they do, it'll often be one one-off situation for one person, and some other one-off situation for some other person it happens to. For those kinds of things, while you might still post and ask "hey, is there a common cause for this", sometimes even the replies you get won't save you much time, because what happened to the people replying may well be off the track for what's happened to you.

So in a lot of those cases, it really turns out just working from the diagrams and troubleshooting steps can be the fastest and most promising way. The troubleshooting steps in the manual are generally laid out in an order that will get you the solution quickly (for the general case where there isn't some specially common failure that folks have run into in practice).

 

What I can say like a lot of cars if you're going to own this model it is very worth it to buy the three manual three book set that goes with this car yeah it's costly and I like to have it in paper in my hand not necessarily on a PDF file on the computer but either is acceptable I have a large enough computer where I can put four pages up at one time if I want so that's not really a big deal but I used to own 85 supras that was a three manual set also I do believe and it was worth its weight and gold when you drove one of these cars that's just that I'm in the middle right now trying to get the manual set rounded up for this car for me for here at the property since we have four of the cars makes good sense to get the real manuals for me for others the online PDFs or whatever maybe the way to go look on eBay they are costly but if you're buying into the vehicle and you're going to be here a while seems like it's money well spent It was for my supras that's for sure and I'm banking it'll be same for the generation to Prius so we're getting a set

Well I have all those parts here so I usually do all this before I get the serious troubleshooting switches it 12 or 13 years at the driver's doors highly possible especially if you're spilling coffee and doing all those driverly things The window motors in these Toyotas are pretty stout so that's kind of the last thing I would be leaning to and wiring damage you know unless you have mice rodents installed the stereo and did a bad job I don't know generally that's not a thing unless you live somewhere where animals are eating your soy wiring up again looking will negate some of these issues the driver combination switch I probably got eight or nine of those laying around just in case you know.

 

Silly question, do the back windows work? Sometimes I have found that I inadvertently hit the window lockout button on the master switch. That disables everything except the driver's window.

Oh that's horrible but too funny.

 

Same. Only my passenger front window stopped working, was a part number available for that master switch ?

 

It sounds like the solution in #14 was to push the lockout button again, nothing to do with replacing a switch.

 

I know I have tried everything on my car to no avail, it certainly isn’t the lock button because the driver and passenger side rear windows work while the passenger front wont.

 

The rear driver side door wouldn’t unlock from the inside handle.
I knew it was likely the lockout switch but I kept looking at night and couldn’t see it

 

How did you fix the problem?
