Default Bought the 332ti... Window doesn't work..

I pulled the door panel off the passenger side door to expose the inner workings. I don't see anything that's visibly broken. When you press the button when the car is on, nothing happens. I know these windows are a common issue - any ideas based on my symtoms?

Thanks,

-Evan

I assume your left window works.
I'd swap window switches first. The easiest way to get them out is to remove the boot around the shift lever, then push the switch out from below.

The common problem is that the windows fall off the track.

Okay, the PO had unplugged the switch. Plugged it back in, rolled down the window, rolled it up, and it was WAY off. i couldn't see why?

If you mean off, by off track, do a search on the site for window regulator... almost everyone in this forum has had to replace/fix the regulator. Probably the P.O. didn't want to hassle with it and just unplugged the switch. It isn't a big deal to fix.
