Window & Door Woes
#1) My two rear windows don't roll up/down all the time.
Sometimes after driving for an hour or so, they'll start working.
#2) Power locking works on my passenger rear door, but power unlocking doesn't. Also, manual lock/unlock both work.
Any tips or suggestions would be great. I think I need an actuator for the rear door?
Thanks

The window lift ECU module, behind glove box, has circuit board traces that burn off or have "cold" solder joints that have a mind of their own. Usually touching these up helps with a small soldering iron.
The door locks have a pair of wires to them, power is supplied in one polarity to lock, then a reverse polarity to unlock. If they work in one direction, it is not the wiring. Sometimes the door motor can be lubed. Sometimes replace. Removing door panels is best done with a plastic yupholstery tool that surrounds the fastener and gently pies it from the metal door frame. The door panel is structrual foam, and fasteners tear out of it easily.

Thanks so much for the info!
I am trying to remove the ECU to check the solder as you suggested.
I have removed the housing faceplate and both harnesses from the board.
However, the frame is in the way, and I cannot remove the ECU.
I will post a pic in a moment, any ideas?

GOT IT!
I had to remove the two nuts holding the enclosure, then I could move the enclosure about an inch toward the door, allowing me to remove the ecu in the cavity.
I'll post pics of the underside in a moment
