    I was in an accident where someone hit my rear passenger door. 3 weeks of body shop and Toyota later, I have her back. However, now the passenger rear window will not go down from the driver control. only from that door. Also, the three switches that are not the driver's window are now blinking. I have tried the windows all down then windows all up thing, and it does not work. Anyone have any advise?

    Yes. Take it back to the shop and tell them to fix it.

    Don't settle for such B.S after all didn't the shop get paid? Take the car back and demand them to fix it.

    It was worked on both at an autobody shop and at Toyota. The shop at Toyota had to replace the airbag computer and that meant tearing out the dashboard. I am taking it to them on Tue. to see if they can fix it. However, I thought that it might be something that some combination of buttons, switches and standing on my head while opening and closing the windows might fix. Kind of like the back up beep in a Gen II.

    Same exact problem I had with mine. It's pretty easy to fix actually. Simply raise the window up all of the way and hold the button. Then do the same in the down direction. Do this until the lights stop blinking.

    Wow.. I'll have to try that on mine. I just noticed yesterday that my dirver's door window was doing the same thing and the auto-up no longer works.

    Don't waste another minute of your time trying various fixes. Take it back to them and demand they give you a rental. Those bastards are all the same.
