My passenger side window has suddenly stopped working, and I'm out of ideas. Driver's side works normally, fuse is good (obviously), I tried swapping switches and the switch is good. Not only does the window not work, but the switch doesn't light up either. I get 5V in the correct location per the schematic, the ground terminal shows a good ground, and when I switch on the lights I get 5V there as well. I'm leaning towards an issue with the connector or body control module, as everything else seems to check out. Any suggestions? | | | 01-16-2011, 02:39 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Auburn, Alabama Posts: 206 | Perhaps your window motor failed? | | | 01-16-2011, 03:06 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 | What about the window controller box?

When i press the passenger window switch it sounds like the motor goes but the window dosnt move, so its perminantly up and dosnt quite meet the seal towards the front which causes wind noise at high speed. Any help would be great, thanks. | | | 03-06-2011, 03:23 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2010 Location: Wichita, KS Posts: 111 | JP, your regulator is broken. I was looking at the window regulator repair thread just a couple days ago. Puppy, yours sounds more like an electrical problem. Before getting all involved with the body computer, check the wiring inside the rubber bellows by the door hinge. It gets a lot of flexing and wears out. Does your passenger side door lock and mirror work OK? | | | 03-28-2011, 04:33 PM | #6 | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2011 Location: london Posts: 13 | i have a window motor for sale, in-face i have the whole door as i replaced both my doors because the widows broke, needed a regulator but was cheaper buying 2 doors from the breakers so i used them. anyhow sounds like a wire issue, check the rubber boot likethe guy above said. put a live on the motor to see if it moves. spray some wd40 around the window, maybe its just stuck and causing a power serge causing the wires to burn out? | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
