Ford Escort Cabriolet mk5 rear window switches

[Paul18]

Hi to everyone

My first post after lurking for along while is a post for help. I have a 91 escort cabriolet & the rear switches on either side will not operate the windows. The windows operate from the front switches and i've tried swapping the switches round for good ones from the front but still no joy. Does anyone have any idea's why both switches in the back won't work when the switches in the front do?

Thanks for any help

Is there a button that disables power to rear switches to stop kids messing?

A la child proof locks.
Maybe?

Hmmm now thats something i hadn't thought of. There is a button next to the handbrake on the drivers side and i'll be buggered if i know what its for. Other half out in car at the moment but will investigate later. Thanks for your help

Did you get them working?

Yes all working now. Turned out i had a faulty window mechanism plus two faulty switches, all replaced now. I also found a button next to the handbrake which isolates the rear window switches for safety. ALL GOOD
