while working on my car I was putting my driverside window down and it stopped abruptly about halfway. There's nothing happening when I press up or down on the switch...I haven't checked the voltage from the switch...but will do that tomorrow...here's the strange part...

whenever I turn the car to acc. or to run, the driver side window motor makes a noise as if it is trying to move but can't (it lasts about 1/2 second)...at the same time as all of this the pass. side window stopped working also (for a bout the last year the driver side switch wouldn't operate the pass window)...soooooooo...I assumed that maybe a fuse was bad, so I swapped the two 20watt cb fuses in the fuse panel, but no luck...

so tomorrow I will try to clean the switches and see if that helps anything, but the motor noise is rather wierd...any thoughts?
 
when you press the button do you hear any clicking from the relay?


try hitting the window motor with something while pressing the button if its getting power
