What is your question?
I had both of my rear windows quit working within a week of each other. Now I have not spent much time researching this but the more I snoop around the more I get confused. The green light on the window buttons both flash when pushed. Someone told me the windows have a tendency to stick when it is hot outside and they are not used much. Well it is now Dec 31 and they still do not work. I read the technical information someone else left but removing the door panel and checking circuits is over my head. Can someone tell me which fuse controls the rear windows (since they went out a week apart I doubt that is it)? Or can someone else that had this experience tell me what they did? One last thing did anyone find they were just stuck and find a way to un-stick them? I bought the car new, it has 61K on it and I never did like the way the windows seemed to hesitate when going down back when they did work. Answers are much appreciated. Happy New Year!!!

I assume you have tried ALL switches.?. It's not a fuse since others still work! Most likely the motor armature IS stuck from lack of exercise, 'sometimes' you can open the door and hit the lower door panel in various spots with the heel of your hand while holding the switch to the desired mode and they might start working. Have the engine running and all other accessories off will help also. If that don't work, get mad and slam the door and then try it all again!! You are trying to wake up the window motor! IF you do get them working, spray the window channels really good with a silicone spray lube. Otherwise seek help from a mechanic at an auto glass shop! They see this quite often.
very poss window motors are going bad.its not a fuse but could be corrsion issues or bad wiring alos.i rec you have it ck'd out by a mech as not to waste money
My back windows always gets stuck. Each time my mechanic puts the car on, holds the down button of the door he is repairing and hits the door with his elbow. Then it works. He told me to work the back windows as often as I drive the car. But often I forget. And he has to do the doors at the next oil change. He just bangs the door from the inside, while holding the down button and he makes sure car stitch is turned on ( not running).
Exactly!!!!!!!! ....HOWEVER; It's best to have the engine running also...... the extra voltage from the alternator will help!!! ... Lack of exercise is the problem with the window motors.... Just have to wake them up sometimes! .. I have done this more times than i can count... On many different makes and models.... At no charge by the way!!! No wasted money.....
Thanks for the advice. Will post again after I get a chance to try "working" it a bit!!
