Check F44 fuse under the rear seat.
There's a relay behind the RH rear interior trim on the rear of the wheel well. wht/blu wire to pin 3 is power in from window switch, and red/blu wire at pin 2 is power out to window motor. If you can get power to the red/blu wire you maybe able to open the window. This wire should also be available at the hinge point on the gate side. Red wire with blue stripe, I don't know whether RH or LH side.


Phil-

I for one would be happy to take a look at a picture of your underseat wiring setup, as my rear window latch is toast right now. Your post is making me want to go pull the back seat and have a look with the DMM. Which diagram in the Bentley manual had the salient info?
