Hi
It is very cool to find a forum with this manu threads an so many great comments. I'm looking forward to use this in the future.

So of my issues have allready been sorted out, others might be if I could just find similar at this site, but there is so many threads...

From the drivers seat, controlling both rear windows works perfectly. But I can't control them from the back seat. Could it be the switch at the drivers seat for locking the rear windows, which is dead. Of course it could also be the switches in the back seat, but since it is both sides, I think the "lock" switch is more obvious. Could it be anything else, or should I just go for that one?

I can't open the rear doors from the inside. I found another thread saying that the handles often breaks inside. Before investing in new handles would I just be sure it can't have anything to do with the "lock" of the rear windows.
In other words, if the lock switch on the drivers seat is stuck on locked, would that also affect the doors?

Other questions follows in other threads...

Thanks in advance
 






Welcome to this forum! Take off the door panel to see what might be wrong with the latch mechanism. As for the power window problem, you could troubleshoot the circuit with a multimeter, and a jumper wire.
 






welcome
 






Look at the child lock switches on the inside edge of the rear doors by the wheel well. Make sure they're not switched to the 'lock' setting. If they're not, your inside handles are no good. Easy way to get a clue on the handles- if they are not laying perfectly flat and perpendicular against the door when released (or the ends point towards the inside of the car) there's a good chance they're done.

For the windows, if the front passenger door window works from the inside, the lock switch isn't the issue, and will most likely be the rear switches having soiled contacts, or bad switches themselves.
