Could it be the 'lock' button ? :: On the drivers door switch cluster, it locks the rear windows....

No fuse for the rear windows.

If the fronts are working, would seem a fault with the master switch or a break in the loom (or disconnected) to the rears.

Would need to remove the rear doorcards and check for electrical supply/feed and work back towards the master switch.

Normally if nothing else has happened electrically to the circuits then the rear windows in particular that not frequently used are simply jammed.


Rust stops them from moving , as does indeed any flaked off metal / magnet material on the inside of the housing


Take the Motor cover off and clean it , spray a bit of WD40 inside.


Try again .

If they are jammed, you can normally hear the motors try to open them for a second or so, then it will stop trying or it would burn the motor out.
