Default how to test window motors.

My sunroof, pass rear window and my back glass do not work. I need to know what motors, or whatever it is that I need to test.

Wouldn't it be each motor for each area that's not working??? Confused by the phrasing of your question.

Ummm back glass doesn't roll down. If the sunroof doesn't work.... test the motor and switch. And if the rear passenger doesn't work I would check the drivers door motor.... no wait.... check the pass rear window motor! Seems you answered you own questions.....

Rear hatch window could have a broken wire. Been known to happen. If you have no lic lights it can be a bad ground.
