Window Motor or Switch?

[DaveMcKenz]

On a slightly different slant, my passenger side window just died. Neither switch will make it open. I will be opening up the door panel sometime fairly soon, and I can live without a passenger window for a long time. Both switches non-op makes me think wiring or motor failure. I'll check the tracks for binding soon. Anyone with experience?
Thanks,
Dave

jmassa,

To get it through state inspection, the motor doesn't need to work. The window only needs to be opened. You could disconnect the window from the lift mechanism, hold it closed with suction cups. For inspection hold the window up & remove suction cup, then lower & replace suction cup. (Don't ask me how I know this).

That'll buy you time to collect the parts you need without driving around with a dead inspection sticker.

Lemme know if you need help.

Hi,
I am officially dumb. There is a passenger window lockout switch on the driver's armrest window controls. I didn't know, didn't see it and must have pressed it without knowing. Anyway, I pressed it again, and all windows work fine again. It's in the manuals and electrical troubleshooting guide.

I thought of that, but it had been mentioned in every other switch failure thread and just assumed you had done a search. I figured someone else would mention it anyway. Oh, well, live and learn. And never assume...

I thought of that too, .....but only because I was officially dumb before you were! Welcome to the "special" club!
