pass window not working Options

[brianforster]

anyone have a guide of things i should test with a multimeter to see what i need to replace for this window?

the pass door locks and power mirror controls work, but the window does not work from either side, all plugs are connected

thanks all

Can you hear the motor running? If so it may be the motor seized. Or more likely the regulator gears are worn out. I think it has the scissor type regulator. Good luck.

nope i dont hear any kind of noise of any kind when pressing the switch on either side

take a battery + and - and hook them both up on the motor. If it dont work one way reverse the wires. if it still dont work you need a motor.

like a car battery?

A car battery would work perfect. Anything with 12v. All your doing is bypassing all the switches and going straight to the motor. IF its a pass. switch let me know I got one. Also an easy check: make sure the lock on the master switch isnt turned on. Easy to look over that. later

yeah i was hoping it was that too, but it wasnt

i dont think its the passenger switch, because neither the drivers switch or the passenger switch make it move, what are my other options? motor and regulator right?

edit: apparently the window used to work when we first converted my car over to power windows, i never tested it but both chucky and dan said it worked.. the only electrical mistake i made in that time was hooking up the battery terminals wrong, but now everything else works except that, and i doubt there is a fuse that controls only the pass window.

edit again: which two wires do i wanna hook the battery up to? and if the window does go down how will i get it back up?

All you do is hook power and ground to the window motor. one way is up, and switching the wires, reversing polarity will make the motor go in the other direction. Disconnect the motor and the wires going to the motor are the ones you want to hook up to. Be careful dont want any arching and sparking!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also it could still be a switch, I believe the master switch runs throught the pass. switch then to the motor. so dont rule the switches out just yet.
