How do I get my 2005 Jeep liberty back seat Windows to roll down

20

Asked by Christine Aug 20, 2020 at 02:21 PM about the 2005 Jeep Liberty Sport

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just bought a 2005 Jeep liberty
for my teenage grand-daughter...
It's in amazing condition...only
issue so far are that the back
windows will not roll down and in
lieu of that will not roll up... front
windows are fine I look through
the manual it shows #13 fuse
controls the windows but my
thought process is that the fuse
must be okay if the front windows
are working initially I was thinking
there was a separate fuse for
front and back but doesn't seem
to be... In researching I've had
many suggestions regarding the
regulators but again my thought
process is would it be normal for
both regulators on both back
doors to be down at the same
time and no I don't hear a motor
or anything in the panel someone
said something about switches
located at the bottom are there
switches under the panel is there
a switch that turns the windows
on and off from working... I'm a 60
year old female and have very very
limited mechanical knowledge...
Buying insuring and registering a
vehicle has left me with a near
zero balance... If this is something
that can be easily fixed and not
put in a shop for hundreds of
labor hours...if I have found in
past years the less you know the
more taken advantage you get...
Dealers want to charge you an
arm and a leg just to look at it!!  
So please if someone can return
an answer in a simple and
detailed manner ... Would be so
grateful!!!

As a former Jeep liberty owner of an 03 I can confirm the factory rear window actuators are garbage and probably broke. Both of mine went out and this should be the same style of actuator. If you can hear the motor running in the door when you try the window it is most likely the actuator. If you don't hear any noise then it is probably not getting power. Just take the door panel off and check it out and see if anything looks faulty. Be careful the plastic door clips break easy on these models.

They make an after market actuator in a new style that works much better and fits this window, if it turns out to be your actuator let me know and I can point you to them.
