95 Discovery, and once in a while we have had the problem of the rear windows not operating, but to date I've been too lazy to take out the window ECU and look for problems on the circuit board. But today, while we were driving on smooth roads, the right rear window went down BY ITSELF, and then would not go back up until later after we had shut off and restarted the truck several times. Anyone else ever had this happen? I'm wondering whether it is also an ECU problem, or whether we have a wiring problem as well.
Thanks,
John

Tom: Neither the front nor rear switch would raise the window, and since the front is not controlled by the lockout, I would think it is not a lockout issue.

Garrett: Are you suggesting the regulator is the cause for going down by itself, or not going back up? It went down under electrical power (my wife heard the motor running), it's just that no one had touched a switch; when it would not go back up, we heard no motor. I would think this would eliminate regulator problems as a cause.

What I'm trying to resolve is why the window went down electrically by itself, with no one or no thing touching either switch. I'm not particularly surprised at it not wanting to go back up, since it has a hisatory of occasionally not functioning, which I'm assuming is a fault on the circuit board in the window ECU; one of these nights I'll take it out and look at it.

Thanks to both of you,
John
