Help: Passenger Window Inoperable


Recommended Posts

There is only two fuses related to the power window and they are D1 and B6 but if one of those was burnt you would not have any window operating. The first thing to do is eliminate the switch failure. Just transfer the left switch with the right one and see if the switch is at fault. Can you hear the motor movement inside the door??? If not you have to get to the six wires that are going into the door and trouble shoot from there to see if the motor is at fault..... Do the window go down a little bit when door handle is moved ???? Here's the wiring diagram for the power window system. There is only one plug and it is located just before entering the door (DP door X12).... You can disconnect that plug and put a volmeter there to see if you got power... Start with the grey/violet wire and a good ground while selecting the switch to up see if you got 12 volts....

thank you for the diagram. My switch is good, no fuse issues, and it does not go down at all. the one thing i did notice is that, when the window is up, if i press the up button, i can see a micro movement so it appears to be getting some power. Also, there is no grinding / noise.

The only previous fault that we have seen here on Renntech related to window is the switch within the door handle and the window regulator. The problem you have seem to come from the motor but I am not confident with that one. If the motor or the regulator were jammed a fuse would be burned... Please keep us inform of your findings.

My Passenger window doesnt work. Luckily, it is in the up position but i am trying to trouble shot the possible problems / Fix. Thx!

Very common for the window regulator to break... have to replace the whole mechanism.
