So to be clear, the rear windows they don't work even when using the switches in the front of the car?

You don't have child locks activated on the window (little switch down between the drivers side switches)?

Do you know how to test the switches for continuity using a multimeter?
You could apply power via a fused lead direct to the motor/window regulator (taken out of the door) to see if it will indeed turn and hasn’t seized.

Starting point would be to establish if power is present at the switch. If it isn’t test continuity of harness by disconnecting both ends and using a multimeter.

I’m happy to advise step by step if need be.

A faulty can can do this, even if a motor is working, it can disrupt the other signals.

Likely something that controls Both sides as doubt both sides have wiring issue. Op seems to say both rear not functioning, check fuses, maybe fault in one side rear blow fuse that does both sides?

I’ve seen this before, try disconnecting one window motor at a time and then trying rear windows, as said even the fronts that work can stop the tears from working.

Hi everyone thank you for your help. There is power at the windows I have pulled out the motors and checked they are not seized. The child lock isn’t on. I have tried a different main panel up front. Still don’t work. Would it be something to do with the modules?

Looking that way..but I would be trying everything 2,3x before parting for any replacement module. Have you checked any fault codes that might be related.
