    Rear Passenger window

    Start with the switch-If you have power to go down then you have power and a ground. Check to see if the power is coming out of the switch when you try to go up. Most likely the switch. If you have a broken regulator clip you most likely will have no window movement in either direction.

    serious engine noise

    I once bought a 67 Chevelle Big Bock with a rod knock for $500.00. Pulled the oil pan and found that the previous owner had dented the pan and the crank throw was hitting the pan. It was louder at idle than when I reved it up. Replaced the pan and drove that car for 8 more years

    1989 YJ Wrangler- high pitched whine...

    Heres a thought,Is your jeep a stick? New Motor?? It is a very common mistake made when overhauling an engine with a manual trans to forget to lubricate (should be replaced) the pilot shaft bushing in the end of the crankshaft.

    Ticking in the engine?

    ATF is a good start for a ticking sound and all the advice given here is great. Try checking your spark plug wires.
