Default Rear window controls won't work...any ideas?
All windows still roll up & down from the drivers control. Front passenger control works fine too. Is there a seperate fuse for just the rear window buttons?

Default Have you checked your rear window lockout switch? Should be right on
the drivers door switch cluster.

Default Lockout switch broke. Common. I haven't fixed mine yet, because I don't want my kids...
opening the windows and falling out.

Default I had the same exact problem. Just change out the driverside master window controls. I got mine on
ebay for like $40 shipped or something. Works fine now.

Default This would make sense...
If you fiddle with the lockout a bunch, you can get it to work once or twice.

Thanx

Hmmm, irony coupled with lassitude. Interesting, but no uncommon.
