    Hi everyone....my situation...

    Rear Defrost: Works
    Rear Wiper Fluid: Works
    Rear Wiper Control: Works
    Rear Window Control from Dash: Does not work
    Rear Window Control with Key: Does not work

    Recently disconnected battery and window would work again but the defrost/wiper would not. After re-normalizing the window the defrost/wiper works but not the window. Process is repeatable...

    Additionally, when key is in "Acc" location a small click from rear can be heard when pressing rear window control button from dash. Also, not sure "auto up/down" feature has been working at all.

    And when window is working a snap can be heard about halfway as window is going down.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you.

    might be the rear window regulator or actuator issue. does it go up and down smoothly when it does work?

    it might not be this, i think its mostly electrical due to the fact that it works sometimes but things like the defrost doesnt. there may be a bad connection somewhere along the line

    Window does go up/down smoothly when it is working. It just stops working after I standardize windows in order to get the defrost/wiper working again.

    Thanks for the help @wnelax04sr5.
