So for as long as I have had my Supra I have had electrical problems, the biggest one as of late is my windows, power locks, and lumbar/seat control, will intermittently go out. I have yet to find a rhyme or reason to it not working it is just completely random, I've checked the fuses and replaced ones that looked like they even slightly needed to be replaced. Also I can't use my rear window defroster because it drains SO MUCH power it'll shut my car off... Not even sure where to start? :1zhelp:
Many electrical problems.

I would get the alternator checked if the rear defroster is shutting the car off, it may not be up to snuff. Then drop test the other items your having trouble with.
Yeah I figured they we're all in the same circuit. And thanks Nick, I appreciate that cause I don't have a kick panel cover so I have no idea which fuse is which haha. I looked at the fuse and it is fine, but an update from today. On my way home smoke started coming out of the front vents in my dash. There is a short somewhere, I have my interior in pieces right now determined to find it... and my alternator is brand new maybe three months old plus I just tested it today and it is fine.
You should not drive your car until you fix all your electrical shorts. You may set your car on fire.
I will get at messing with this stuff on monday seeing as I have all day to do it. Thanks for the input guys. Oh and btw the smoke coming from my vents was actually STEAM!!!!! my heater core was leaking so I pulled my dash yesterday switched em' out and bam no more steam!
