Oh and on tab at the top you will see search, click on it and put in rear window or tailgate window and you will see various posts on this subject

Also check the rear wiper is housed correctly in its rest.

rear wiper should not be a problem as if you turn the ignition off with the wiper not home then when you put the key in the lock to wind the windy down it first sends the wipoer home befor starting to open. this trick will also tell you if the key switch is working, also the window lock button can catch you out

My wiper didnt return correctly & i suffered this dilema, it took me a while to fathom this one out as there is a sensor that detects if wiper is in the home position. Activate rear wiper again then try again.

Ok following your posts i checked the button its not locked i can open the window from in the car. The wiper is locked in its position not showing so quess its not that. And if the window is open the key outside will wind it up but will not open it is there a fuse antwhere i can check ?

If it was a fuse it wouldn't do either, I suspect a duff switch on the key lock, it has cropped up before, take a part and have a look.

rear window

its probably the relay ive repaired 2 in the past i cant see it being the key switch it would still work from the switch in the centre console try pressing this switch to close with ignition on and see if your clock lights go dim and battery gauge goes down if they dont then it could be your motor.

he can open it from in the car, will go up with the key, will only not go down from the key????

I've got a sim. problem............ My window will do up with the key. But the switch inside will not work. The power dims when you press the switch. So maybe it's a relay fault???


Where are the relays kept on these>>?
