Power windows trouble....

alright, so i read a thread on how to wire in power windows. well, finally got them working but the driver's side doesn't work at all, and on the passenger's side it only goes side to side and down, not up....could this just be a bad switch or are the motors going out?

Well when mine went out they wouldn't move at all, if they're moving I would assume the motors still work.

I'm going to still keep the possibility of a bad motor open, but if it isn't....i wonder what else would cause that? 3 directions working but one won't.

Sounds like you’re talking about power mirrors.

Anyway it could be the left motor is defective, it’s used more than the right side.

To find out, use a 30 amp fused jumper wire directly to the left motor see if it works.


Happy Racing!
