window controller failed?

[nmikmik]

Noticed something new on my 95 Camry. All of a sudden my window controllers on the driver side door stopped working. All other doors operating their windows just fine, so it’s got to be not the window motor related, right?
Since the only door that can’t get anywhere is the driver door, assuming it’s some kind of ground or hot wire failure to the driver door?
Can someone point to the right direction? I ordered the manual that suppose to have wiring diagram, but not sure when I will get it & if that specific part is in that book anyway.

Thank you for all your suggestions,

Oops, almost misled yall people! Now actually all windows stopped working, regardless where you try to operate them from. And I can’t find the fuse for the windows in the fuse box …

Probably the one of the first things to do is to take it apart and check the connections.Try to find the fuse first.

nmikmik,

As far as the other 3 windows, make sure while fiddling with the main panel on the driver's door that you didn't depress the driver's lockout button. It's at the top of the panel and keeps other's from opening and closing their windows if the driver doesn't want them to open and close them. It's especially useful with children. Just press it one more time and see if the other 3 windows now work. As far as the main window is concerned, it's usually either the switch or the motor itself. If you have a Digital Volt Ohmeter (DVM) or a simple 12 volt test light, you can diagnose the problem yourself. When you get your manual, take apart the driver's door panel. Now put the leads on the 2 connections at the motor and press the switch. If you are getting 12 volts there, then the motor itself is bad. If not, then the switch or the wiring between the motor and the switch is bad. You can test the switch itself by jumping the 2 contacts on the switch with a wire. If the window moves, the switch itself is bad. The switch will be a dealer only part. You may be able to get the window motor cheaper as an aftermarket part.

Good luck with the problem.

I’ve got to get this one out!

Surprise, I fixed it… There was no short anywhere, the problem was an open/broken wire/wires in the door wiring harness. As soon as I started playing around with the connectors, my power door locks stopped working. So I figured it’s got to be in the wiring harness, then tested 12V at the connector and could not find anything on the other end of the same wire. There was actually 3 wires snapped, who knows why… but I reattached it and now everything works.
Never was able to find the fuse though, I am sure if I blow it, it will show up somewhere J

Thanks for all your help,
