Isn't
I'm betting/hoping that the motor is OK but there is a break in the wiring
between the rear door and front console.
If the motor is bad then that is at least relatively simple to replace.

I forgot to mention - that was an early attempt that failed. The grommet is
intact.
I think for starters I will switch the wires attached to the PW motor and
hopefully that will raise the window again. if not, then I may have a bad
motor... Could it be a regulator issue??
On Fri, Sep 14, 2018
Try holding the switch in the "up" position while opening and closing the
door. That will flex the wires in the accordion joint, which may be
broken. You can also open the door and squeeze the accordion joint while
holding the switch in the up position.
