have had the same problem in a few of my 4runners. if you pull the switch out of the center console you will see on the bottom of the
switch there are a few wires. try shorting the wires together with a small screw driver and see if it wants to move. if that doesnt work the
motor is probably fried and you will want to crawl in the back pull the tailgate cover off unbolt the motor and the window will fall down
without the motor installed.

Before you buy a motor, check the relay. There's a relay in the back, this is a more common problem. Also, some people's problem is that the rear wiper isn't fully closed.
