Given that I own one of these and I’ve dealt with the problem… it is very likely the power window motor has failed. They are cheap and easily replaced and most auto parts stock them.

It could be the switches but if the back window won’t open with either the driver’s door switch panel OR the switch on the door, it isn’t likely the switch.
