    I have an 07 DCSB pickup. The passenger side rear window will not roll down. The window lock is disengaged and the fuse isn’t blown. My question is what do I check next? It done this a few weeks ago, but then started back working. If it is the window regulator, how do I go about replacing it? I pulled the door panel off but wasn’t sure exactly how to get to the regulator. Thanks guys!

    The rear door switch panels are the same. Swap sides and see what happens. Dog slobber has been known to screw up the rear switches.

    The switch from the driver seat will not roll the window down either. So I know it’s not just the switch on the door.

    The switches are tied together. You must have both working for the window to work.

    Is the door used a lot? A broken wire between the door and body can do exactly what you describe. Sometimes you can cheat and have someone depress the switch while you wiggle that portion of wiring and if it works for even a second, that is probably the issue.

    Had the same problem. Turned out that the inside of the switch was corroded. You can disassemble it and clean the corrosion, there's a tutorial here somewhere.
