1988 300TE rear windows don't operate

I had an issue with one of the rear windows not operating but decided not to deal with it at the time. Subsequently the other rear window no longer worked (ie from either the console or the doors). I ordered new console switches and replaced them. Still both windows are inoperable.

If the child lock switch is shot, will that keep the windows from operating or should I be looking someplace else to solve this?

Its too hot to let this go any longer and any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's in the Piller/Doors

Same car, same problem. It's a broken wire, yep both sides. You will have to take off the piller trim between the frt & bk doors, find the wiring harness, open it and look for a broken wire. While your at it you should also remove the door panel and check there as well, take it easy as the panel is held in with plastic clips. Also make sure to remove all the screws from panel (arm rest etc.). Worse case, you might need a new window lift motor (junk yard), but you wont know that until you look inside the doors. Good Luck!

The consol switches override the safety lock switch. If you replaced them, and the rear switches don't power the motors, the problem is likely in the wiring or less likely, the motors themselves. Do a search here to learn more diagnostic paths, and keep us posted.....
