Please see the attached photo. The motor has this connector with 4 sets of pins (2,2,2,2). The first three sets have continuity and the last set does not. When I tested the wire harness that connects to this, the first set of pins had 12v, the second nothing, the third has 12v and the last nothing. Can someone tell me on the wire harness what the second set of pins is for, maybe its because of that not giving 12v that the motor does not spin. If I can trace that to something I may figure this out.

Ok is there anything I need to test in particular when I open up this connector area in the door? The picture shows all these terminal pins, so do I test each with a meter? Now that I think about it, the day the window stopped working it had rained earlier in the day. Let me know how to test these connectors. Thanks in advance.

Ok, it says 2/97

The year of manufacturer was 1997, I don't know what month. I purchased it in April so it must have been made in Jan.. (German car, not finland).

when I tested the wire that connects to the motor, it has 4 sets of pins (2,2,2,2). I used a multimeter to check the current and when I connected it to the first set (top, bottom) there was nothing, the second 12v, third nothing, last 12v. I also kept it connected and tried the press the window switch and the 12v signal did go on and off. What should I do next. It looks the the power is going to the area, but the old motor and the new motor do not spin. I also checked the black box under the drivers seat, there was no dampness, I also unplugged the connectors and tried that, still nothing happened with the window.

In response to your questions: 1. correct, nothing happens at all when the switch is pressed 2. no auto drop or rise 3. no sound at all 4. yes, i connected the multimeter and then pressed the switch, i saw that the power went on and off. How do I apply 12v to the motor when it is removed from the car? I would like to try to test the motor but what power source do I use and how do I use a multimeter to check just the motor? I think there is something else that is causing this. Are there any other switches, that can cause one window not to work? Could the relay be bad (pass window works), how do I test the relay when it is removed using a multimeter?

hello, I really need your help. My drivers side window does not function, I thought it was the window motor, so I purchased a new one, took apart the entire door and then removed the motor. After connecting the new motor, I tested it and nothing. Everything else in the door works, the speakers, the light, the power rear view mirror. I put a multimeter to the power wire for the window motor and it had 4 sets of pins (2,2,2,2). The first nothing, the second 12v, third nothing, last 12v). I also tested the little micro switch for the convertible top latch, and both the metal solders have connectivity. I also tested the window switches near the handbrake and they are fine. I checked all the fuses and they are fine. The relay is fine. My Passenger window works fine, and when I stick in the key to the drivers door and turn left or right, only the passenger window goes up. Please help, I have been able to fix other things in the car like top cables, handbrake microswitch, but this problem has really stumped me.
