The rear hatch window rolls down automatically when I start the car and will not roll back up. I was able to get it back up with the ignition at accessory but as soon as I start the car it goes back down and will not go back up.

Hi,

I suspect either the switch is bad or the power window relay. I attached a pic below. It shows the relay and a portion of the wiring schematic. To confirm there isn't a short to power after the relay, I want you to disconnect it and see if the glass still goes down when you start the vehicle.

Pic 2 shows the general location of the relay.

Try this and let me know what you find.
