You'll need a test meter or at least a continuity tester and make certain power is getting to the power window switches.

Moisture gets in these switches everytime the windows are open when it rains or snows.

Use a small screwdriver and carefully pry out the switch module out of the door arm rest.

You're going to have to test all the power wires and grounds from the fuse panel to the switches.

Years of opening and closing the front doors can and does make the wiring break where they pass through the door to the vehicle.

Re: 2001 Olds/Silo, Rear sliding windows problem

I agree with Roadrunner (testing is required), but I am not sure if you are referring to the windows that open together in the back of the van, or the front windows. Can you let us know which windows, exactly, you are referring to?

I wondered at first too, but the rear windows only swing outward from the rear of the window about an inch and a half.

Then he goes on to talk about drivers door window.
