Default Door sensor(switch) not working...?

So I replaced both window motors when I first got my 350z, and the passenger still doesn't "seal" the window when you close the door. So when you shut the window and exit from the passenger side the window doesn't go down to allow it to clear the window frame. Therefore smacking the side of the car, and leaving a gap. My driver side works fine, so I switched the sensor and it still didn't work? Anyone ever have this happen. Assuming it's a short or fuse maybe? I doubt a fuse because I'd think the driver side would be affected too.

I thought I did that when I put the new motor/reg in...I may have did it wrong...but I don't think I did.

Let me ask you this though...If I go to the driver side and press the door sensor in it lets the window down a bit. But if I go to the other side it doesn't do anything if I press it. Will not doing the re-learn cause the sensor to not work?

i would think it would space down some, but don't hold me to that. i would try the relearn before i go replacing switches. does the light come on when you open passenger door? if so the switch works

Good tip. The light does come on when I open the passenger door...there is no way to access that button to do the relearn without taking the metal cover under the door panel off is there?
