Rear window switches C70

I own a '01 C70 and am having a problem with the up/down switches for the rear windows. The switches for the rear windows on the driver's door work just fine.
The switches (both) mounted in the rear console don't work at all. Is their a rear window lock mechanism that stops the rear windows from operating on a convertible just like the lock out feature for the rears on some Volvo sedans?
If so, how is this feature deactivated to allow the rear switches to operate the rear windows? Thanks, Fred.

    It's in the ownder's manual:

    To prevent the rear windows from being opened with the buttons in the rear seat, pull up the front edges of both rear window buttons on the driver's door quickly and release them. An indicator lamp near the buttons will light up to remind the driver that the rear seat window buttons are disabled and cannot be used to open the rear windows. Repeat this procedure (the indicator lamp will go out) to make it possible to open and close the rear windows using the buttons in the rear seat.

      Dear Klaus, thank you very much. I tried this and just as you indicated, it is a lockout for the rear window switches. I did not find anything about this in the owners manual and thankfully I didn't start to check fuses, remove a switch or do anything else stupid that would have been unnecessary.
      I really appreciate your response. Fred.
