Rear window switch in console not working properly
Okay, so my rear window started acting funny the other day. The switch on the tail gate works up and down, but the switch on the console only makes the window go up. WTF! I haven't had time to pull the sucker apart and check the connections, but does anyone have any other ideas for when I do? What could this be?

Switches do wear out .
If you pull your switch out of the console unplugging it when you have it free .
Then you can check both the switch and harness you can jumper the harness to move the window up and down if it still has the problems . Broken wire some where .
Double check that the switch does work before pulling things apart .

I love this forum.
My switch stopped rolling the window down. It would roll the window up just fine and the key in the back works perfectly. I took the switch out, took it apart, sprayed goo-gone and WD40 in there to clean out all the crap(most likely soda/coffee), put it back together and it works perfect again.
Of course this was after I took the tailgate apart and the relay box apart and messed with those. 
One of thee days I'll learn to search first, then rip things apart.

Mine does the exact same thing but every once in a while it will roll the window down and up. I'll be pulling that switch and cleaning it out this weekend.
Thanks for the heads up!!

If you can get ahold of one, a factory EWD works wonders. Use the split-half method, and a little common sense. You'll trace stuff down in no time

I pulled my switch yesterday and sprayed WD40 in it and coffee and crap ran out of it. It works a lot better now except that once the top of the rear windo hits the grommet at the top of the windo opening the switch will no longer push the window up or down.
Is there an adjustment or something in the tailgate?
