Driver side window won't operate but window motor is fine

Bidd95vert · Nov 25, 2011

I have a 95 GT Vert and today I changed my drivers side window regulator bushings and now the window will not go up or down. All other windows work just fine. So i took the drivers side window motor back out and connected to the passenger side switches and the motor worked fine. Seems like the motor is not getting power on the drivers side. I am assuming that the fuses are just fine considering that the other three windows work just fine. Also checked the window without the motor installed and the window moves smoothly up and down by hand, so doesn't seem to be a window mechanism problem.
I have a voltmeter but a little stump'd on how to proceed. Anyone have any idea's ?

Bidd95vert...I don't really know how to help or what to say but I'll try...is there some kind of gear from the motor to the bracket/track that maybe isn't engaged? Do you hear the motor whirring when you press the buttons? If it sounds like it's too fast (compared to the other windows then maybe it isn't engaged. Maybe the actual switches aren't connected. When you swapped the motor to the other window did you see if the passenger side AND driver side switches operate the window? Good luck...

He said he tried to the motor on the passenger side and it worked, but nothing on the driver side.

Yes, sounds like the switch is bad. To verify you can pop the passenger side switch (on the driver side switch panel) and plug it into the driver window position. They are easy to pop out of there, just use a flat screwdriver and pry up gently.
