Pull the boot in between the door and body. You more then likely have a broken wire in there. I had the same issue last year and pulled the panel only to find the broken wire in the boot.

 

Old post, solved my problem today



I really appreciate that old posts stay on the forum. The windows on my 2003 Grand only worked when the door was closed. I took the door panels off hoping to see a loose connector. Finding nothing, I replaced the door panel. Now nothing worked. And the window was half down. Now I had to find the problem.

This post pointed me to the wire bundle inside the boot- and I found two broken wires. Repairing them took a few hours, but now everything works as expected.

Now, I have a new problem. How do I replace the boot over the plastic sleeve?

 

In the passenger door, or driver door? I had found stuff about this in my search, but would really like to know what wire colors I'm looking for. Guess its time to check out the local parts store for a manual.

 

FYI, theses do not "drive" the windows from the drivers switch. The Drivers switch talks to the door modules over the data bus. The drivers panel is the master.
If a Drivers door wire is damaged, it can cause this.
Also, rapidly move the rear window switch at the drivers position. Up/Down/Up/Down, see if the window responds.

 

rapidly moved both switches (not at the same time), nothing moved.

 

What are symptoms of a bad module? Both r/s windows on my 04 won't work. Have power (orange wire) to the module (r/f) but the window will not go down or up. It will however work via the master.

 

Weather is horrible out there tonight, no progress to report. If it is the regulator/motor, is there a recommended brand to go with for replacement? When they die, do they not make any noise? I get nothing, no clicking, no grinding.

 

Which door jam? The Drivers door or the door for the window that didnt work?

 

Was able to fix it last night. It was the red and blue wires in the door jam. Pulled the boot back and bingo, blue was disconnected and the red one pulled apart with one tug. Turns out it had been repaired once before. They did a very nice job with it, using the correct heat shrink size (dealer maybe?). My guess is that it was just too much tension and it pulled apart. I put a small jumper in and its back up and running. Thanks for all the help!

 

Good job!

 

haynes books give me 100% of needed wire info. i buy a new car,buy the haynes on the way home...

windows/locks are 99 % wire trouble.
the computer bus HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT...
