    Default Ken on the rears are you sure you don't have the lockout button pushed? In the

    center console there is a button there with the windows that locks out the rear windows, to keep children or whoever from running the windows up and down... ON the front window you'll probably have to replace the motor and gearbox, its sold as one unit. BMA has them for around 90 for the OE. I tried one of bma aftermarket ones and it wouldn't fit. Heres the teeth that usually break on the gear

    Default Ken I would jumper across the lockout just to make sure that thats not the

    Problem since it seems highly unlikely that both back window motors would die... unless this was one at a time over a long period of time.
