1st: Make sure there's no "lock out" causing this issue.

You may need to get into the doors to test for power at the motors. I doubt they are on a separate fuse or relay from the front but anything is possible.

For the emergency moment just try pulling up on the glass while someone is requesting UP mode and it might return up for now to buy time.

Getting started: You can perhaps hear then trying but if not try putting ignition key in position (usually just run but engine off) such that a working window works and then try just the UP request for the rears. What I'm looking for is a power draw that will show on a meter or simply look at an overhead interior light (door open) and see if it flickers or dims with the request. If so the wiring and switches are likely good and the motors have the issue - you will need to get inside door for more inspection. Some motors come as part of a "regulator" assy so be prepared for that. If they draw some current they will usually work again for once or more if you tap on body of the motor while you can when inside with a hammer with an metal extension of you choosing. Just a tap - don't beat the thing all up over that trick,

T
