Some Chevrolet Tahoe owners report experiencing issues with the rear windows and hatch being inoperative, often with no power to the actuators. These problems may stem from the 'Child safety switch' in the door jamb being engaged, which can prevent the rear windows and hatch from operating correctly. Additionally, some owners have encountered situations where the rear window glass on the liftgate fails to open, although solutions for this issue have been identified. In cases where the rear hatch remains permanently locked while other doors function normally, it may indicate a specific malfunction within the hatch mechanism or electrical system. Furthermore, if the rear windows can be rolled down but not up using the switches in the rear doors—while they operate correctly from the driver's controls—this could suggest issues with the wiring or the individual window actuators. To resolve these concerns, it is advisable to inspect the Child safety switch, check for known fixes regarding the liftgate window issue, troubleshoot the rear hatch locking mechanism, and evaluate the wiring and actuators for any faults. Seeking assistance from a professional technician may also be beneficial for a thorough diagnosis.
