Window wont lock on liftgate
The door has contacts I think that provide power to the lock motor, find then and clean them, if the model doesn't have any contact pads then check for a damaged wiring harness into the rear door, if that is ok replace the lock actuator inside the rear door.

Had same problem on Ford Escape, Could not unlock the rear liftgate or window, if you can open you are in better luck.
If it is locked and closed, you will have to pull the top portion of the plastic trim away from the liftgate, it is held in place by metal retaining clips on top, and four screws on the bottom, if you can open, remove the screws then remove the rest of the panel, if unable, pull the top of the panel just far enough to reach in and unlock the liftgate.
Once you have the gate open and the panel off, you will see the locking actuator connected to the electrical connetion, it is a little bit smaller then a pack of cigarettes with a black lever.
To remove you will need to remove the two outter 10mm nuts holding the "brass" colored assembly, you will probably have to disconnect the two lever connections to get to the back side of the brass assembly, once this is done, you can use a T-20 torx to remove the locking actuator, part number stamped on my part was 4510 5424 made by KIEKERT although a search of this part didnt give me any good results, anyway, that was the cause of my problem, once replace and all put back together everything worked fine.

SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM: GET RID OF THE CAR. THE ENGINE LIGHT ON MY 2001 ESCAPE HAS BEEN ON MORE THAN OFF. HAD TO GET NEW COMPUTER, FUEL RAILS, AND IGNITION COILS INSTALLED ($1800) LAST YEAR. ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON (EGR VALVE, EGR SOLENOID, AND/OR CLOGGED VACUUM HOSES AND PORTS. THIS CAR IS MORE TROUBLE THAN IT'S WORTH.

Check to be sure the latch assembly is released the explorers were bad for the assembly getting rusty or sticky, oil it up good and open and close the lock mechanism several times to insure its operating easily, you may have to open it first if it appears closed with the tailgate up

The downside is of course, no heat, or warm air to defrost/defog windshield. Changing a heater core is generally a labor intensive job. If you decide to do it yourself, invest in a good manual, or online source so you know how to get it out in step by step process. I would suggest checking alldata diy site, which cost is in the upper $20 range for 1 yr access to your vehicles repair info. You can print up any sections you want to bring outside to work on the vehicle. Good luck.
