Another window post

Window pass front is up... wont go down, makes no sounds up or down.
I swapped a working switch from the back to the front and verified that both switchs work on back window...
Ive tugged on wires and nothing pulls free... wiggled wires while holding button and nothing... so my question is what wires have power? Ground? Which wires go where in that window switch panel. Probably need pin out for drivers panel that affect pass front door too.
I want to verify power to the propper wire going in the switch and i want to introduce power to the motor to see if i have a bad motor.
Any other tips would be great.

If you verified the switch is good... you have a bad motor. The fuse is for all windows. To verify power to the switch, disconnect switch, with key on run position one terminal will have 12v. Sorry I don't remember which one. BTW, did you try to operate from the driver switch?

Unless, on the odd chance that a rodent snuck into your door and ate the wiring. If that is the case... go buy a Power Ball ticket.

I did check the drivers switch. There is one wire with power, i think it was.red w blue stripe

So heres what i got...
Unpluged the motor and checked for voltage...
Got 12v going up and bout .5v going down.
Checked the motor by running straight power to it... all that happened was a tiny spark when the wire contacted the blade. No movement and no other sound.
Im not quite getting why it has 12v up and .5v down... and next problem is the window is all the way up. How do i get it down to drill out the rivets. I watched a few videos on replacing the window motor... all the motors in the videos appear to go up and down... dumb cause we wouldnt need to replace a working motor.
Anyway... any tips?

Yes thats one that i alerady watched. For some reason he hit the button and rolled down his glass to access the rivets... my glass dont roll down.... i need get those rivets to the access holes to remove them. Maybe if i just start pulling it all out it will drop down there...
Thats what i keep seeing on videos... they roll their windows down with the button to access the rivets. For whatever reason theyre changing the motor/regulator when theirs still work. Mine does not. Thats why i need a new one.

You may need to remove the regulator as well. But instead of rivets used 1/4-20 hardware.
