    Rear glass button not working

    Thank you. Yes the keyless entry remote and the number pad on the drivers side door will open the liftgate glass. I'll look for that fuse after work. If that's good I would say the button it's self is bad.

    Clunk when stopping and turning

    This 05 now has started a clunk noise from time to time. Sometimes it's when braking to a stop (going straight). Other times we hear the same noise when turning. The sharper the turn the more likely it will clunck. Shop doesn't see a problem and it doesn't happen all the time.

    All 4 WB, Now a Tranny

    The rear motor clicks so there is signal to the motor just not worth $100+ to fix. Front windows work when there rear windows don't. So no it's not the lock rocker. Blender doors are just something that doesn't look like fun. I hate this truck. And hated the 98 we had before this.
