First, make sure the battery is fully charged. Second, make sure the tailgate safety switch is closed. Do this by pressing HARD on the upper left hand (driver's side) corner of the tailgate. As you press in, activate the window switch on the dash or key switch on the tailgate and see if it moves. If this doesnt do it, crawl in the back and remove the screws holding the access panel to the tailgate. After the panel is removed. in the center of the opening is a sheet metal support. Behind that is a harness with a, yellow and red wire. It is connected to the window motor. Disconnect it and hold the wires going to the motor (bottom of the tailgate). Take 2 pieces of wire and strip both ends of each wire. Get a 12volt power source. Either use a car battery or use long jumper cables. A battery charger can also work if it supplies about 10 amps. Connect the 2 jumper wires to the red and yellow leads to the motor. Connect the yellow to the + and the red to the negative and it should go down.

How do you roll up a stuck rear window on a 89 ford bronco?
In most cases the window is not stuck. The fact is, the tailgate is not make enough contact with the sensor(s) that prevent you from rolling up the rear window when the tailgate is open. To roll up the window, first try shutting the tailgate with some force, as opposed to lightly, to ensure that it is shut well enough to make contact with the sensor. If the window still will not roll up, with the tailgate closed, push forceably on the upper drivers side corner of the tailgate, while you turn the key to roll up the window. If this does not work, start checking the typical electronics, fuse, wiring, etc...

1996 Ford Bronco rear window will not open or shut. What steps should I take to try and repair before taking it to a shop?
Spray lots of wd-40 in the driver side latch, there is a mechanism in there that allows power to flow to the motor when the tailgate is closed. more than likely it is just dirty and stuck. Thing is you have to get the tailgate open.
In my Chevy silverado the left side window is stuck in the down position what can I do?
If the window is stuck in the down position on a Chevy Silverado, the door panel will have to come off to access the cable mechanism and fix the window. If the windows are electric, there will also be the wiring assembly for the window to remove.

How can you get the tailgate of a 1991 Toyota 4Runner down if the window is stuck in the up position?
Climb in the back and remove the panels for the tail gate. You have 2 options. Get a couple of wires and run them from the battery to the connector for the window. Then manually move the motor down. If the problem is with the motor then you must remove the motor mechanism to get the window to come down. Neither allow quick return of the motor to the up position, but they will allow you access to opening the door so the repairs can be done more easily.
How do you repair the tailgate of a 1989 Ford Bronco if it is stuck shut?
If the tailgate is stuck in the closed position it will be one of three things. Well, four things if you include someone welding it shut but I hope you would notice the weld burns... lol. Now then. A- the hinge and releases are rusted solid. It's not likely but it is possible. B- Body damage can tweak the whole rear of the Bronco and jam the tailgate shut. C- (and the most likely) The rods inside the tailgate that release it from the latch pins are no longer connected to the handle. If neither A or B are the cause, get inside and remove the inside panel of the tailgate. Connected to the handle there will be a couple metal rods going left and right. They're held in place with little plastic clips that commonly rot, crack and fall apart. The little plastic clips are available for a few bucks at any auto parts store. Replace them, lube up the moving bits and test it out. it that fixes it, put it all back together and you're welcome. If not, well...

How can you open a stuck 1988 Dodge Ram pickup truck tailgate?
I once had a 1987 that had the same problem! On the inside of the tailgate, at the top ends, there should be a small lever. You can flip them one at a time and it will un latch the tailgate!
