Just bought (3) retired 2019 PPV Tahoe's.
Rear windows will not roll down from the rear switches.
Rear switches are connected and looked in the pillars and everything is connected there too.
Window switches on driver's front door are all connected.
Windows do roll up and down from the driver's switch.
All fuses are good.
Any ideas?
Has anyone had any luck fixing the rear inoperable window?
I'm in the middle of restoring a 2019 PPV, ive installed all new interior and all I have left is to figure out how to wire the console as there's no connector, just wires hanging and also the rear windows do not work.
Also trying to figure out if there's hidden wires for the 3rd row seat to install switch to raise and lower powered seats.

Sounds like it's a prigrammimg thing to get the rear window switches working.

For the powered seat there's a good chance the wiring isn't there. Police vehicles usually have unique wiring harnesses that don't include options they didn't have.

On the 2019 PPV, it looks like the SEO option 6N5 (SWITCHES – REAR WINDOW INOPERATIVE) makes the rear door windows inoperable at the door switch. Check your SPID label, possibly on the glove box door. IIRC, that will require a BCM update to remedy.
Do you know the best route to get a BCM update?
Dealerships are not helpful at all.

It's definitely the programming.
All I really care about is the rear windows, as here in Canada I can't even get it saftied to drive with the windows inoperable and the GM dealerships are completely clueless

It was nice and simple on my 2014, just replace the dummy switches. How do you know "It's definitely the programming"? Do you show the 6N5 option on your codes?

For 2019 Tahoe's, 6N5 option is: "Rear door window switches are inoperable. Rear door power regulators are operable only from driver position switches."* If yours are not working from the driver's seat you may have a different issue.

I don't know about the Tech 2's, but my little Foxwell scanner will operate the windows. Buying, borrowing or "renting" one of those might be worth it. And if it doesn't power from drivers seat, you my start with something as simple as throwing juice to the motors to make sure they are working from the start.

Just looking at online fuse diagrams that don't make sense, they show driver and passenger fuses, but I don't see rear windows listed..
