did the rear window go slowly to or did it just quit all of the sudden. If it did the same as your front window I agree with otgarza about the motor, but if it quit all of the sudden with no warning id think that is leading towards the master (drivers) window switch.

Agreed. My passenger windows won't roll down from their respective switch but will from the master switch. My window lockout switch is bad and I've yet to make the jumper wire to bypass the lockout switch.

Yeah adding on...it depends if it doesnt work from any switch, if it only works on the master switch, or if the singled out window doesnt work. If it makes no sound like when you move it up or down then it could be the motor. If it makes a sound like its trying to roll up or down but it doesnt go up or it comes down fast as if its falling in it is going to be the regulator.

I had screwdrivers holding up my windows when the regulators gave out, the little wheel that rotates on the regulator broke off and the window would not go up and if i tried moving it it would come crashing down hence the screwdrivers.

You need to clean the brushes and copper wheel the turn on located on the tip of the motor.

That is most always what is wrong with them. Most people think they go out, but that is hardly ever the case.

I'll try to find the link again detailing how to do it.
