    Interesting situation (to me) that I hoped some people here could help me troubleshoot.

    The main window switches up front will operate both front windows but both rear windows are non responsive.

    However, the rear driver side window will operate from its own switch, but not the master.

    The rear passenger side window will not operate from its own switch, nor the master.

    All fuses are good best I can tell. The child lock is off (and if that was the issue, the rear drive side shouldn't work from its own button).

    I figured the rear passenger side had a motor issue, but the fact that the master won't operate either rear window makes me think there is something electrical going on.

    Would this prevent the rear switch from working? Are they tied together somehow?

    If they are tied together, why does the rear driver still work on it's own even though the front master doesn't?

    Have you disconnected battery before you discovered this problem? If so, you have to go to each window switch and reset. By running them up and down.You can Google it.

    yes, but I’m pretty sure I’ve used the window since then.

    regardless, that seems to affect the auto functions and not the window itself. I attempted to to the steps anyways just in case it would trigger something but it didn’t work. The rear window won’t react at all, so when I get to the holding it up part of the process, nothing happens.

    Did you go to each door and run them separately?

    Double check that window lock is off? I have made that mistake before.

    I did. If it was stuck on even after trying the switch, I don’t think the other rear window would work as it does.

    Yes. I can follow procedure for other 3. However, the back right window just stays fully down. It won’t rise at all.

    Guess it's time to pull door panel. Try jumping window motor. Be careful putting back together. Alot don't make sure lock/ handle cables are in holders, and door won't open.

    Yes, the ground for both rear windows goes through the Drivers side Master Switch.
