Why does my window button not work in my car?

Another possible electrical problem that keeps your power windows from working is a faulty window switch.

Is there a window switch on the passenger side?

The likelihood of this varies with manufacture and vintage. Assuming instead that the passenger side window functions without issue from the passenger side window switch, then this exonerates the mechanicals of the regulator within the passenger side door, and the electrical integrity of the window motor.

Why does my window switch fail so often?

Window switches do fail, but they fail less frequently than do the motors. If this car is relatively new, when either the motor or switch is replaced it will be necessary to program the switch in order to get the new motor and/or switch to work.

Why does my car window not budge when I press the switch?

When you press your window switch up or down, the window motor turns the gears, moving the glass the direction you want.
