1990 Rear Window

[DADODIRT]

Howdy.
Newby to your forum here.
I have a 1990 that the rear window will not go down or up.
This model has the folding down tailgate, so the rear window has to be all the way down to open the rear tailgate.
I have had the motor for the window replaced a few years ago.
Neither the button in the console or the key in the rear window seem to work. It's an old vehicle and I don't need to keep it in showroom condition so I am looking for any ideas for a manually operated fix or simple electric fix.
Anyone else have these problems.
Thanks in advance.

Do a search, there are a couple other threads on the subject. One has a link to a nice help page: http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTricks/RearWindow.shtml#RelayReplacement
I'm having a similar problem. The consensus is that it is the switch or relay. Both can be found on ebay if you search.

thanks ricoman.
That's some helpful info.
Probably the relay switch.

Also a thing to look at around the rear window are the guide's for the window regulator.
At the bottom of the glass is a pressed on metal guide that is about 6" long and has a slot that the roller rides in. Look at this closely because if that is rusted [common] the regulator roller will pop out and jam up the window.
You cannot get this guide from a window repair company, they want to reuse the old one. I found replacements at a salvage yard for my '91.
