Has 2 leads going to the motor, red and yellow. Is this just a case of positive voltage to yellow (ground to red) brings it up and reverse voltage, +12VDC to red )ground to yellow) brings it down?

My front passenger window is stuck down. I can hear he relay click when the down button is pressed, but hear nothing when the up button is depressed.

Are there relays somewhere in the door as there is voltage to the switch. Weird switch, 7 contacts, but voltages between them works the same way as the right rear door which is working fine.

I did use the search ... and will try removing the motor. Was just thinking 1st of putting 12 volts across those leads. Ideas??

Well, just put +12VDC to the yellow wire and the other lead (I cut the door light leads hanging off the door) to the red wire on the motor and ... PRESTO ... the window went right up.

So now I know that it is the Yellow and Red wire at the switch that is not getting + power. Will track that down later ... at least I got the window closed so I can drive the Exp in the rain tomorrow :) !
