Window Help!!

My driver side window has stopped working, I changed the switch and still nothing. So i got a test light, and it is getting power to the UP side of the switch, But it has NO power at the DOWN side!

Any ideas what could be wrong? I would really like to fix this lol, its a pain in the *** not having a window!

Window direction is determined VIA polarity to the motor.

Have you applied power directly to the motor to make sure it’s good?

If you’re getting power to the “up side” of the switch you have all the power you need.

There is a possibility the replacement switch is bad - test it with an ohmmeter.


Happy Racing!

When you see fog lights on in good weather beware. Low performance driver ahead.

How bout those nitwits too scared to drive without headlights in the daytime, and the nitwits that need headlights for a little rain

Re: Window Of Opportunity

Okay, so i get power all the way to the window switch, and yet it still does not go down. I even took the switch and put it on the opposite window and it worked fine. So The window Switch is Good!
So now what do i look for?

More than likely a burnt out window motor
