Hey guys. My power rear power windows wont work annymore.It started with Teh one on the driverside and 2 days later the rear one on the passengerside also died. The strange thing is the driverside rear window came good again for 1 day and then went bad again. Anny ideas what it might be? I should prob also mention that i can hear the rear relays click when im sitting up front trying to work them.

Regards

So ive done some fault finding and current is coming thru the relay switches to the pw motors. This leads me to think that the pw motors have failed. Can these be bought seperate or does the whole motor/pw mechanism have to be changed together?

I had the same problem and almost replaced the motors, but I figured this out first and saved some cash.

Before you replace anything, try this: With the key turned on, open a rear door that has a stuck window. On the driver's door, hold the switch for the open rear door's window in the down position while someone else slams that rear door closed. The window should go down. I have to do this occasionally to get mine working again.

It seems like after the window has been closed for a while, the window motor isn't strong enough to break the window free from the seal.
