The problem lies in the drivers door as a rule,all the power to all the windows go to the drivers door first and then on to the other doors.You either need a new window switch for the drivers door or the wiring to or from the switch has broken over the years of pivoting between the door and the fender.If you put the key to the on position and move the wire harness around by grabbing the rubber cover that is over the harness between the door and the fender while someone holds the switch for the rear window in the up position you may be able to find the sweet spot in the harness to get the window to go up,if this is the case then you will need to pull the rubber cover off of the harness and visually inspect the wiring to check for breaks.You can use **** connector to do the repair and you may need a short piece of wire to get enough room to it crimped.Re-tape everything and put the rubber boot back in place and your good to go.

Found the problem. The nuts holding the lower bracket of the window had loosened (don't know how as I had never opened the panel). As a result, the window was crooked. Straightened it out, tightenened the nuts and it works perfectly.
