I don't know what's the problem. When I tried to roll down either one of the rear window, it won't roll down. I got nothing. It couldn't be my driver's master control switch because the locks worked fine. It unlocked and locked the rear doors with no problems. Any ideas? Daniel? I even tried the rear controls, they didn't work either. Couldn't be a fuse problem, could it? I don't think it could be a fuse problem because if it was, the door locks shouldn't work as well, right?

RE: Rear Window Jam...

It actually could be a short circuit (fuse), because the door locks have a seperate fuse (also used with keyless entry). I would take it to a garage and replace all the fuses (its not too much moeny anywayz). Just trying to help.

I don't agree with this logic. I'm not saying your problem is the master control switch, but I don't agree with your reason for absolving it.

Do the rear windows operate normally in response to the individual switches located in each door? If so, you know the fuse is good and the window motor is good.

You don't have them locked do you? Does the front window work?

Locked? Of course not. And the front windows do work.

No. Like I said in my post, I already tried that.

I got my car back from the dealer. Turns out, I was partially right. The rear passenger side switch is broken; need a whole new switch. The rear driver side problem is a bad wire, that need to be replaced as well. The parts needed to be order though, they didn't have the parts in stock. Dealer said the parts aren't not cover under the extended warranty. Oh well. At least, I asked.

If you haven't already done the work, get the part numbers from the dealer and order online. Sound like a job you can do yourself and save some $$$.
