I need to roll-up the rear window while the tailgate is down to access the nuts holding the tag light/rear switch housing, but an interlock prevents this. The sensor appears to be in the rear switch I am trying to get to. Anybody know a way to bypass that sensor?

Hell, grab your battery, couple of leads, and hard wire the motor. Thats how Ive been actuating mine until I get the switch problem worked out. Set of aligator clips on 12" of wire, clip onto the terminals in the connector, touch the other ends to + and -, reverse the wires to get opposite direction.
Other alternative is to unbolt the motor from the regulator, this allows full motion of the regulator by hand. Be careful doing this though or you will be searching replacement parts. There is a hole in the arms and main body of the regulator that you can pin for safety and removal purposes. ~Darin <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />

The interlock is the left tailgate latch. Just open the tailgate, rotate the latch all the way in, as if the tailgate was closing, and use the key to raise the window. Be careful to support the window as it comes out. To close the tailgate again, lower the window and use the handle to "open" the tailgate, which will let the latch pop back to open. hope this made sense.... Brian.

You can also get it from the inside, just roll the window almost all the way up until you can get to both nuts that hold the switch/plate light panel on. Let me know if you need a picture, I'll try to dig one up when I get home (if I ever do <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />)

Doh
Hot wire the motor, do it inside the truck, sometimes the obvious totally escapes me <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
Thanks for the ideas, they'll work <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
