The rear passenger window will not go down with the button. It has fallen off track. Is this a DIY project? What tools would I need? How much would it cost to get it repaired by mechanic?

None of the windows will go down unless the driver's side door is open. How do I check the problem? How much is this repair?

Would a repair manual tell me how to check the wiring & connectors on the door switch? As for the instructions on the rear window, what am I replacing? The way I read it, I'm replacing the window and nothing else. Also there is a sentence during removal that says to "connect the door switch"; should that say disconnect instead? Sorry for the follow-up questions. Is the repair manual available on this site?
