My Power window in the driver side wont work.
The passenger side works, but only from the passenger side switch.

Both switches on the driver side dont work except the on/off switch.

I checked to see if its stuck, or needs lubing and its fine. I did a continuity test on the power wires and got nothin! All the fuses are fine as well.

I cant hear the motor go at all though. I read in a manual that the motor has its own breaker, but it never said where it is. Is it in/around the motor?


I called the dealership to check the price on a new harness and they wanted over $200 can.

Any help would be great. Its gettin really hot these days and my a/c aint the best.

I have a 94ls

 

You will need a test light, take out the switch that does not work , put the key in the on position and check for power on one of the wires comming out of the switch, after you find the power going in you need to check the other wires while moving the switch one wire has to change from ground or power to power or ground, depending on if the switch supplies ground or power to the motor. . if one of the other wires changes then its probably the motor. there an easy way to check the motor is to take off door panel un plug the motor connector, take the connector on the motor side and ground one side and power the other using a jumper from the battery. if the motor moves it works. if there is no power to the switch trace the wires throught the harness, using the test light probe wires about every 1inch or so until you get power once you get power you know the short is between there and one inch bak, just splice in a new piece of wire (solder the connections) and you should be good.
Sorrry if this is so long,
Hope it helps...Peace

 

already did the "light test" so now i guess im gonna test the motor. Thanks alot for your help.

 

I have this problem now.

Switch has power.

Is it possible to fix the motor without replacing it? They are expensive. Any ideas?

 

Well, my driver side window just stopped working a little bit ago. I could hear the motor but the window wouldnt go down.
We took off the door panel, and checked it out, the window was off the runner. We simply bought some silicone glue stuff(yeah im real specific) placed it back on the runner, and glued it in. Works good now
