Default Rear window issue??

My fronts work fine as does the sunroof. I checked the switches and that didn't make them operable. Can anyone offer me any suggestions?

I may be wrong, but I think there is a switch on the drivers window lift switch console that turns the rears on or off, to stop the kids in the back playing around with them.

Your're not wrong, Fraser, it's just that the lock-out switch disables ALL the windows.

If the switches are OK then it must be the motors or, more likely, the mechanisms are stuck from lack of use. I'd pull the door trim panels and lube everything up.

Cheers

Turns out it was a bad switch (rear left). Not for nothing but this site is more valueable to me than my Haynes Manuel. It stinks compared to the talent here. Bravo to this website and classy folks who share their wisdom and experience to help junior owners solve problems. And to the previous poster, I dont have kids and if i did they wouldnt be allowed in my ride.
