the window won't go up!!!!

[themindbender]

After reading some posts on my delimma I should go further in detail about my own situation. First off the passanger window would only go up or down from the passanger switch. The master switch just one day no longer had control. Then within about 4-5 months later, the passanger window will not respond to either switch. Unfortunately the temp here is about 30 degrees when I go to work, an hour away and of course the window had to get "stuck" in the down position. I tried to jump the connections on the door and all I got was a good light show. I then tried to see what the difference was with the locks, thinking I could tell which port to jump since I don't know what the hell I am doing with the wires. Again with the sparks, now I have no power locks either. I cannot get the window motor to go up manually, so what can I do?

I had what sounds like the same problem with my 95 mc a year and a half ago window down wouldn't go up , found it out to be the switches I repaired mine with plastic epoxy building up the little dome on the rocker . when you tested your motor did you put the ground and power across the two terminal on the motor this will give you sparks , make sure the motor is grounded good then put 12 volts to one or the other terminals one is up the other down . If the motor doesn't work I suspect the motor is bad hope this helps you out .

well, I just got some life into it. I disconnected the plug to the ? looks like a silinoid maybe? , re-plugged it in and I got a "click" out of it when I press down(new switch passenger side). Nothing more though, no grinding, jumping, and nothing going up. I really need to get this thing up before the night is over, either I freeze or the fiance' freezes, and that's not much of an option.

Do you have your interior panel off if you do and have another 12 volt go from ground to the motor case and put possitive to one of the terminals if the motor doesn't move up ar down you need a new or used motor.
