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. If the switch itself stops working, even if power is getting to the window motor, and the window motor is in good shape, but the window still doesn’t respond to the switch, the switch itself might be bad.
Why is my driver side power window switch not working?
The underlying problem is therefore almost certainly related to a break in the continuity of the interconnecting wiring between the passenger side window switch “UP” function contact of the driver side door switch, and the pass side window motor.
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. This involves an arcane sequence of button pushes in a specific order within a set number of seconds.

Why is my power window switch not working?
The most common reason for one window to stop working is the switch, so this should be looked at by a professional mechanic to have your power window switch replaced. Once the mechanics replace the switch, they will test the windows to make sure the rest of the system is working properly. 3. Window works from master switch only
What to do if left front window does not work?
Disconnect left power window motor connector. Ensure ignition switch is in “run” position. Connect a test light between left power window motor connector terminals “A” (dark blue wire) and “B” (brown wire). Observe test light while operating left front window switch on master switch assembly to UP and DOWN positions.
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. Since your power window system is a mechanical system powered by electricity, problems can be either mechanical or electrical in nature. Tracking down the exact cause of your problem is the key to a quick fix.
