Window issues

[Stranger mugs]

I can't find another thread on this so I'm asking.

The switch on the driver side will not operate the passenger side window anymore. The passenger side switch works fine.

I changed the switch but no progress.

Any suggestions?

Look at the wiring where it goes from the door to the main body. It might have broke or rubbed through. If you can see plugs on the inside of the car, try a ohm meter to see if the wire is ok.
Are you sure the switch you tried is good? As a test, you could try connecting the passenger side wires to the driver side switch; since you know that switch is good.

Ok I'll try that and let you know . Thanks

Sorry if it is a dumb question- Does the passenger side switch work? If so, then it is the driver side switch, if all wiring in door is not damaged.

The passenger side switch works fine, I checked the wiring and I see no break, I've also replaced the driver side switch with a new switch

Sounds like a broken wire somewhere.

Hook a test light to the window motor in that door then operate the switch.

Keep testing the connection at motor, if you get no power at motor, keep tracing and testing wire back until you find the break.

hmmm I am going to say the same thing which John and stranger mugs says. yes its sounds that there is some problem in wiring if you changed the switch before. Let us know if when you check the wires. Good luck
