Subject: Re: Rear Power window failure

[Ben Swann]

My most recent experience with this '91 200q 20v sedan ~ 150 k mi - both rear regulators were shot as well as one of the switches (fried due to dead short in the reg.)

Simultaneous failure of only the rear windows would point to the rear
windows lockout switch/circuit, but if so, the driver's rear window switches
would still work, so apparently this is not the problem.  The power window/
sun roof control module is powered from a circuit breaker (in driver's foot
well), not the problem if front windows and sun roof work.  So IMO, your
problem may not have been a single cause, simultaneous failure and the most
likely is several window switches, one in each rear window circuit.

Bernie, thinking out loud.  Sorry, not much help.
