today i went to roll down my passenger window and it went down and then made a noise and now it wont go back up... i checked the motor and it seems ok.. it doesnt make any noise though as if no power is going to it.. i check all the fuses for the windows... the drivers side rolls up fine... is there a relay or soemthing i can check before i shell out $$$$ for a window motor? Or if it is the motor anywhere i can buy a oem one cheap? thanks

Hey. . . i had the exact same problem. . . I took my whole door apart and I used a jumper and checked all the wires in the switch and everything. I found out the the motor is good, but it's not getting either ground that the motor needs to make it run. I'm betting that it's a relay somewhere. I searched all over the car but i can't seem to find it. I found a master relay that controls both windows, but i heard that lots of cars have 3 different relays.

LMK if you find out where the relay is or if there is some other problem.

what type of noise did it make? did the motor smell burnt at all? you may also want to check the driver's side window switch (for the passenger window, of course) if the switch is broken the the other one won't work either. good luck, keep us posted

I dind't really heard a noise cuz i had the radio playing pretty loud... Motor didn't smell burnt... I took it all apart and tested the motor and everything. I found out that the motor uses two grounds and two hots. It was getting the hotts that it needed but not the grounds. I took a jumper wire and went from the battery to the switch and the window goes up and down.

I did check that the drivers side window didn't work.

And so far I have only found one relay that controls both the drivers side and the passangers side windows. Do you think that there could be 3 of them? Or know of a reason why two separate grounds would just quit working at the same time? Can part of a relay go bad?
