Could failed wiring possibly be at the root of your current problems?

Thanks John.. my first suspect area was the where the wiring loops from the body to the tailgate. I felt sure I'd find my problem there, but when I did do a bit of investigating the wiring supplying power to the tailgate inside the car was only delivering about 11 volts or there abouts, and this seems suspect to me. Maybe not enough to power the heated window.
