850 rear window doesn't move 850 1995

My driver's side rear window doesn't react to either the door or console power switch. All the other windows are fine. What should I do next? Is there an easy way to test the motor? Or could it be something else?

Thanks as always!

J

    Remove the console switch by first removing the plastic under the Ebrake handle, then use your fingers to push up on the switch. If you also push up on the other rear window switch, you can swap the 'good' switch and try it.

    Also pull up/out the rear window switch on the door and check for voltage. It should be enough to light a test light. If the switches are OK, it is probably a bad wire as those motors are quite robust. I do have a spare motor...

      It was the door switch. The console switch works but is still funky. I'll remove it later as you suggested and check further...

      Thanks Klaus!

      Ordered a new window switch from FCP Euro. Old switch fell apart when removing it. Should be here anyday now. Will update later.
