How to find out Why Your Cars Window is not Working

And this video I’ll be going over how to find out why your window isn’t working in your car or your truck. Will be testing the window motor is south and also the windows switch. I pull the door panel off in this vehicle to be able to access the window motor and first attempt to tap on the motor to see if we can get it working again.

In a lot of cases just tapping on the window motor will get the window motor and regulator working again in a lot of cases if that’s what has failed. In this case, I did not help and we could hear the motor trying attempting to move in the up position but it would not do anything when we push the switch to the down position.

So we remove the connector at the window motor to test for power and ground and found it had power and ground going up but no power and ground going down. So we remove the window switch so we could test the switch and on this vehicle, they’re actually interchangeable from the driver side to the passenger side.

So we were able to swap switches to see if that was a problem and in this particular case the driver’s window switch was the reason the window would not go down.

Diagnose driver’s window not working. remove the driver’s door panel to gain access to Driver’s window motor. tested for power and ground and sound good power and ground going up but no power and going down. Indicated most likely a bad window switch.

Reassemble door panel and cold window switch out of center console area to test. and found that driver’s and passenger’s window switches were interchangeable so tried swapping and window function properly. Indicating the driver’s window switch will need to be replaced.
