2002 Grand Prix...Since I bought it last year the right rear window don't roll down...well today had this kid in there **** w the other one and I came home, let it sit out there for hours...went out to roll em up, and now the rear left passenger one will not roll up either...it only went down more when I pressed the down button on the control on the rear door..the drivers side controls are not doing anything for either of the back windows..so now its like open only 1 inch...I tried pulling on it to close and and no way its stuck.. I cant open the door panel cause its dark and something is holding it...I got all the outer edges to give out just by pulling gently but middle where the door handle is wont give in..On top of that my drivers side window control button thing doesn't work either, it only works from the drivers side...so I have 2 rear windows that don't work at all any more I guess, and passenger side only when pressed from driver's side...Oh, I also have to go to work tmrw morning and its raining and will be raining all night and in AM..so I really need to get it closed but how would I do that? I pulled as hard as i could from inside and outside and it wont let me do it...and then if someone can give me some schooling on how to replace window motors? im 99% sure rear ones need motors replaced since theyr not even making any noise and passenger one just the button platform..
PLEASE PLEASE help needed asap...i dont have a shop to go to to do these things.....
 


large trash bag over the open door top, then shut the door.

then you'll either need a new master switch or two new rear regulators.
 
ahahah worked like a charm man...i had bunch bricks n **** on top of the roof overnight holding the plastic up :)
will do..a master switch is?? where at...
i def trust u cause i rmmbr last yr u were like the only one that told me ignition control switch after my mechanic went thru 3 other things...it turned out to be that...i rmmbr by ur buick pict in ur sig...
 
drivers door window switch is the master, the back window lock out switch tends to break. or you just have two burnt up rear regulators.

if the master switch is dead the front pass widow may not work from its own switch. only the master will work it.

being you had one window quit, then the other quit later on, id think its the regulators gone bad, either cables or motor, either way, new regulator is the fix.

you can run power to them to test em. unplug it and run power to the plug. cordless drill battery packs work well for this.
 
well guess what..i just messed w it n it closed right up..wtf...i was hitting the front buttons, the lock out button, and the rear doors up/down window button...all at the same time..all of a sudden it clicked n started working just fine...closed right up...i opened/closed it again a few more times without a prob...also the passenger side window controls are working too now...hmmm i guess it is the master switch i need...but its most likely for all the windows huh?
 
if all you messed with was the buttons, you can try spraying some electrical parts cleaner under the buttons to clean the contacts.

are both back windows working now?
 


My driver window had problems took the regulator out put one from the junkyard on doing same thing then took the motor off it work both directions. Lubed up the track real good and moved it up and down by hand a few times put back together working great now
