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?

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 smile
