    Default both rear windows not opening

    i just noticed that both of rear windows are not opening. I tried using the buttons up front as well the ones on the individual windows.
    Not sure what happened. They were working earlier last week.
    Any ideas?
    I checked the fusebox and it looked okay although I don't know exactly what to check for or what # the fuse might be).

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    Child lock mode on?
    See the small rectangular button in the middle of the window switch block?
    See owners manual.

    This happens to me sometimes. Press the button and listen out for a click or a motor trying to move the window down. If that's the case, you might need to take the door cards off and examine. Shortcut way of fixing the problem temporarily is to slam your rear doors shut, usually the jolt shifts something inside, allowing the motor to overcome the resistance it was up against beforehand.

    Yep, used to happen to me; if you can hear a click when you press the button down, hold the button down, and hit along the bottom of the door. This will get it going again!

    Something about the bushes being too tight; or so my mechanic says.
