Default Window problem - not motor

Ive got a problem that seems to be getting worse... When i hit the switch to make the DS window go down, about 50% of the time, the car's radio cuts out (WTF?!), and the window does absolutely nothing. The other 50% of the time, the window goes down normally. (slow because of a dying motor) Has anybody had a similar problem and give me an idea on where to start diagnosing this? Ive had the door panel off and checked the switch area, and there are no obvious shorts in that area... Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you have two issues, the power cutting out with your radio is the BCM (Body Control Module), its under the dash on the passenger side, theres a solder joint that breaks and you have to take it out and heat up the solder. Search around for "BCM Fix" for the how to. I did it and its pretty easy.

Also sounds like your window motor needs to be replaced.
