Default Window will not go down!??

I have a big problem with passenger side window. The problem is it will not go down. I thought it was my moter at first so I replaced the moter and still did not solve the problem. Before i began replacing the moter it would take a few min. then the window would go down, it would go up just fine. After i replaced the moter It will not go down at all. I tested the new and old moter and they both work fine. I even replaced the window switch on the passenger side, the same side. I can not get the window to go down with either switches "driver or passenger". I am really fruserated. Can any one give me any hints or clues on what to check or do next?

When you put the new motor in, did you try running the motor while it was plugged in but not attatched? That would at least tell you whether it was the motor not getting the signal/power it needs or the window itself is being interfered with.

You said you tested the motors, I assume that's how you did it, in which case something must be jamming the window. Did you look around inside the door while you had it apart?

Try replacing the drivers side switch. If i remember correctly the power goes through the switch on the drivers side then on to the passenger side switch.
