Default both window motors went out

hrm.. quick question .. my passenger window motor is starting to die.. i just did the autotrix mod and didnt save it.. it still gets stuck when going down / up.. now my driver side is doing it.. is there some kind of coincidence that both are going out at once?

Try to make sure that physically, the windows are able to somewhat freely move up and down- lubed tracks,no bent regulator arms. There could also be a problem with your master window switch- I have read instances where the switch is cracked and causing a bad connection.

Underneath, you would need to pop the bezel out, then remove the switch and inspect. Could be anywhere on the black plastic on the switch; this is just a guess though. G/L!
