Window Problem I just bought a 98 TA, the passenger window doesnt roll down but the drivers side one works fine. I thought it was the motor so i went out and bought a new one. I got the passenger side door panel off and unplugged the old motor and plugged in the new one, turned on the car and tried the motor, but the motor didnt budge. Any ideas?
Check the switch on the door, does it have power to the switch, and does the switch make contact, (12v @ the contact points when pushed to either up or down)
If you don't have power @ the switch, then the problem is in the wiring to the door (the big bundle of wires in the jamb)
If you have power in and out of the switch, the problem is either the motor, or the actual window mechanism
Grab a volt meter, and start checking

I really doubt that both switches would be bad at the same time. More than likely wiring, a fuse or a relay.
This is out of my 94 Helms manual. I cant see the LS1 windows being that different:
Page 8A-120-4 Electrical Diagnosis
Power Windows (A31)
Chart #3
RH Window inoperative from both switches. LH window operates normally.
Put Ignition switch in "Run"
With a test light, backprobe the RH power window motor connector from terminal A to terminal B. While observing the test light, press the RH window "up" and window "down" switch. Is the test light "on" in both cases?
Hope this helps.

If yes:
My scanner isnt working or I'd scan the wiring diagram for you.- check power window motor connector for poor connection. If ok, replace inoperative power window motor
- With a test light, check the RH switch from terminal D to C
- While observing the test light, press the RH switch UP and DOWN. Is test light ON in both cases?
- If yes: Check for open in wire 666 (drk blue) or 667 (brown) between RH power window switch and RH window motor
- If no: Check RH window switch from terminal B to E. Using the LH switch, press the RH window up and down. Does the test light come on in both cases?
- If yes: Check for poor coonections at RH window switch, or replace RH switch.
- If no: Check LH switch terminal B to C. Using the LH switch, press the RH window up and down. Does the test light come on in both cases?
Yes: Check for poor connections at LH window switch. If OK, check for open in ckt 166 (lt blue) and 167 (tan) between LH power window switch and RH power switch.
If no: Check for poor connections at LH window switch. If OK, replace LH switch.
