Hello guys and gals..I am a new member, first time poster but a long time reader. I, as well as others I am sure, greatly appreciate the informative and quite helpful posts from you folks.
I am having an issue with my drivers window and after a search, I was unable to come up with anything quite the same. However, if I missed a post of the same nature I do apologize in advance.
With that being said and out of the way, her is the issue:
My drivers side window will not go up or down. When depressing the button I do hear the relay under the dash clicking. The window buttons on the master switch control their appropriate windows. I have taken the master switch out and attempted to clean the contacts which was no help. After taking the M.S. out I must have dropped the window lock spring or something because only the M.S. operates the other windows (Passenger and rear switches on those doors wont work) so i assume they are stuck on lock...No Problem.
After ensuring the relay was functioning and cleaning the contacts, I figured it was the motor. I hooked a wire to the + & - terminals and to the motor and it works that way. I am not sure which fuses are for the windows, so I checked every fuse I could find and all seem to be fine. I do have another motor from the junk yard and hooked it to the switch w/ any results either.
What are your thoughts? Fractured wire some where along the line?
