    2001. Never had an issue with the rear window.

    With truck off the locking mechanisms seemed to be activating by themselves but not actually locking the doors. Thought the battery in the fob might be dying so I fumbled with the buttons, rear window goes all the way down. Will not roll back up.

    Turn on truck, use dash switch...dead. no response.

    Gate was replaced years ago and never swapped out the key tumbler so can't use it as the key doesn't fit.

    Of course, here in hillbilly Rainforest AL its pouring rain so I had to go out and tape plastic over the open window.

    Any suggestions would be helpful. I dont even know where the fuse is for the rear window.

    TIA

    Where is the child lock?? I’m have a similar issue. Is it possible I have that in??

    Switch was always working fine. Now nothing. But the key in the gate lock will lower and raise. Bizare. I would assume the fuse for switch is the same as the key. A fuse for the window i assume

    The little square button on the driver door controls which locks the window controls. Works on the rear window too. I couldn't use the key on mine because I swapped out the lift gate several years ago and was too lazy to swap out the lock with it.

    All my other windows work. So doubt that’s the issue. Thought there was another one

    Well I’m a clown!! It was the window lock!! When that’s pressed it doesn’t affect the drivers window. Oh well. It’s fixed. Hahahahah
