Default Driver side rear window won't go down....

35212 miles on the odometer, driver side rear window won't go down. I don't remember the last time I rolled down that window, no body really sits in the back seat. It was hot today so I decided to roll all my window down to air out the heat and no work.

The switch in the back and on the driver side doesn't work ither. I notice the cabin light dim when I press the button but either that - nothing.

Wonder if I should have gotten that extended warranty. Welp 788 more miles before it expires.

The motor is dead, if both switches don't work that is 99% chance it is a dead window motor. Take it to the dealer before your warranty is gone or else you might be screwed.

Ok. With out touching anything, the window works again

Hope the dealership finds the problem.

Window motors die a slow slow death. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they will only go down but not up. It just depends on what inside of them breaks. But chances are it is shot.

just a obvious question- but did you have the window lockout button pressed? To my surprise- it also keeps the front passenger window from rolling down.

as with your window. My Focus did the same thing for TWO YEARS! mabey one day a month it would not work- then all of the sudden it would. - my friend who bought my focus from me says it works and does the same thing for him once in a while.

some times my fathers 03' 4RUNNER auto drivers window will only go down 1/2 way and stop.

geez they have a mind of thier own....

there is probably a loose connection. i would have the dealer make sure everything is tight and snug. damn, 35,000 miles is a lot.

o/t: you still doing the shirts?
