Default power window problems (not the motor)

i replace my power windows like one a year. lifetime warranty and only takes me like 15-20 mins to do the swap. I can no longer roll my passenger window down from driver side at all and the pass side switch will work most of the time and then the next it wont work. The diver window switch works great. so i thought it was the motor so i swapped it out and still the same????

Your switch on the drivers side may be bad. The passenger side is wired through the drivers side switch, so it may be the source of all your problems. Need to test the switch to be sure.

I had the same problem. My pass side window got slower and slower and one day would go up at all. But I could use the pass side switched and it rolled up and down fine and fast I went to a junk yard and got four switchs for less the 20 popped it in and never had a problem since.

^^ You have a motor problem, SIC LSX Don't buy anything until you are sure, get a test light and test, it could just be something simple, or really a switch
