Rear Window Wont Roll Down

[JohnDeer81]

im having the same issue , except i can hear a noise itll buzz 3 times for about 15 seconds, and i can hear my window motor click, now i know my back wiper doesnt work and i cant figure out what fuse controls the back window controls/ back wiper

Hey man, I know this is really old here but I just figured out what was wrong with mine. I heard the little buzzing and clicks in the rear so I knew it was getting power. My rear wiper also works fine so I thought to raise the gate and pull back the rubber shroud that is around the harness. Low and behold the ground wire was snapped in two and power wire just about the same. With the gate up I could roll the window down so I know motor is good.

Reviving old threads!

Rear window fix/culprit

I know many of your comments in here are older, but having this issue just arise for myself I thought to post my findings in hopes it will help others with this issues.

My rear window on my 3rd gen recently stopped working but I could hear buzzing/clicking in the rear of the truck so my assumption was power was reaching the target but for some reason the window wouldn't go down. My rear wiper also works just fine - to note. I thought to raise the gate and then try rolling down the window again from inside the cab and IT WORKED! This made me think there might be an issue with the wiring harness that comes from inside the truck to the back gate which is easily seen when you raised the gate. I pulled back this rubber shroud and the ground wire was snapped in two, power wire not far off. Opening the hatch must have pushed the ground together to make contact.

I am going to solder some fresh wire in here to keep the length and rubber wrap it.

Hope this helps the community!

A couple years ago I had a similar issue in my 89 where the rear window would not roll back up. Wiper was in place, bolt was in.

I wound up taking it to a guy who said there was an issue with the grounding. He was able to locate it and fix it pretty cheap.

Rear window

my rear window does work downwards with the key, but not upwards. Works fine with the button(up and down). What to do?
