Coming home from work today I tried to roll down my rear passenger side window. Hmmm would not roll down. Tried rear switch. Hmmm would not roll down. Seeing as how neither switch worked and the lock was not engaged and all other windows rolled down just fine,where could my problem be? I know there is one fuse box located on the drivers side next to the steering wheel but did not see any fuse in there for windows(and i dont think it would be a seperate fuse for each window) Is there any other place I need to look or is this gonna be a trip to dealer? Which will be all right since its still under warranty but just an inconvienience of having to do with out my cruiser till they get it fixed.
At least its rolled up and not stuck in the down position!
Any help would be welcomed.
Dave

I've had the problem alot on my old Ranger pickup...the power windows sticking....usually some silicone spray lube frees 'em up. Yours could be something else, but it's a good idea to lube the window channels occassionally...and the silicone spray won't hurt anything....not sure about it's use on aftermarket window tinting.

I know you may think this is a crazy idea, but with the igntion switch turned on and with the rear door open try holding the window switch down and tap lightly on the door panel. Sometimes the window motor needs a light tap to get it working. This works some of the times because the rear windows don;t get used that much. If this works roll the window up and down a few times to exercise the motor. I know this sounds crazy but it will work sometimes.

WOW! You guys are a wealth of knowledge! I took both of the suggestions from Wally and WE-BE CRUZN and tried them and they worked perfectly. I hadnt even checked to see fit the window was just stuck or just not getting power. Went and applied a slight downward pressure by placing a hand on the outside of glass and one on inside of glass and had wife actuate switch and window budged a little. Rolled window back to the up position and then tried the down position and it worked like a charm.
Thanks once again for your help.
