Window Problem (motor is new)
I'm trying to troubleshoot a window problem on my passenger side. Recently, the window motor went bad and I replaced it. It worked perfectly for a month or so. One day I got in and it would not go up or down at all, even when the door was opened. A couple days later, window works perfectly. Another couple days goes by and the motor will not move again. No warning. It has not moved since. When I hit the switch I hear it click, but the motor makes no attempt to move the window. My first guess is a bad wire somewhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

I had this problem before, are you sure the motor does not respond? Try testing the motor plugged in and see if it rotates.
If it was a motor replacement, it could be a rebuilt motor. If it is, just open it up and clean it lol. I hope this helps.

I've tried pushing on the window while hitting the button. It does not even budge. I guess I'll pull the door panel off and see if I can find a bad wire. I hate electrical problems...lol

I tried looking at the wires and stuff, thinking the same as yourself. Then just concluded that it was the motor I just bought. I hated doing that.
I went back and got another one (yours should have a lifetime warranty as well
). The new one I got still works well!Go and get that thing replaced again.
