Answer me this! Weird problem with window...

[94sportX]

Hey guys, my drivers side power window doesnt work, and I have no clue what it could be.

Listen to this....

The motor definitely works. I can raise/lower the window by connecting a battery charger to the motor's connector.

Thed little up-down switch works. I can pull it off and stick it on the passenger side connection (on the drivers side) and it will work that window up and down fine.

So....motor works, switch works, and I'm definitely getting power to the switch.

What the heck could this be? You would think it has to be between the switch and the connector to the motor. But that's a group of wires about a foot long, and wrapped...so how could they be damaged?

Any ideas? Thanks!

Sounds like it's the wiring between the switch and the motor. To prove it, take the passenger switch that you know is good, and put in on the driver door. If the window doesn't work, then it has to be the wiring going to the motor, providing you are SURE you have power to the switch.

Well Im sure there is power going to it because I was taking a jumper wire and touching the connections together that the switch plugs into, and was getting sparks.

I tried the pass side switch before, and nothing.

Yeah it could be wiring. Do you own a multimeter? If you do check the continuity of the wires. Also the voltage and operation of the switch. If you don't own one, maybe consider pickin one up, they are cheap and very handy.
