Condensation at winter time gets in the motor and corrodes it, especially its electrical contacts, if its not too serious yet, beating on your door panel down low with your fist can sometimes cause the electrical connection to connect and work again... Otherwise check your power to that motor while operating the switches and while any safety lock-out switch on the driver's switch panel is in the correct operating position. (ignition on also). Less common is any corrosion to the wiring harness plugs. Try the window from both drivers and passengers switches. Replacement motors should run about $250 installed. It requires taking the door panel off and usually the side tracks and glass removed.

SOURCE: radio fuse

The radio fuse should be in the fuse box in the drivers foot well.

Hope this helps,

SOURCE: what fuse is needed for a mazda miata headlights?

it is a large pink 30a fuse located under the hood in the upper left hand corner. take it out and to an auto store to make sure you get the right one... it says head... not headlight.

Good luck.

Batteries can have a dead cell in them, meaning there is sufficient charge to run accessories and the "check glass" may look fine (dark green in color on maintenance free batteries), but one dead cell in the battery indicates replacement time.

SOURCE: replace driver side power window motor

Once you have removed the inner door panel you unbolt the motor and regulator (They should come togther) and install.

SOURCE: my mazda protege5 power windows not working except

There is a safety disabling switch on the control POD on your drivers side door panel. Simply press and release a few times and observe the behaviour of the switch. It is a push for "ON" and push for "OFF" type switch, it has a marking of a square with an X across it. This button should remain down for ALL the windows to function, if you should see that it is in the up position, the 3 door windows will not operate.

2008 Mazda Tribute driver window fell down

Really easy to test with a 12v test light. If the plug gets power when you push the switch I'd think it would be a bad motor.

Window fuse's and relay's may be up under passenger side dash or behind glove box.
Drivers door window gets used the most so it could be the motor, window switch, relay or fuse.
Could also be a broken wire in the rubber boot going from the door to the body. You will have to eliminate each till you find the culprit.
The motor and the relay are the most likely to cause this problem. Try swapping the relay with a working window relay. If it still doesn't work, remove the door panel and remove the window motor.
Turn the motor shaft in both directions by hand several turns. Then plug the motor in and see if the switch will now run the motor. Sometimes thats all it takes to get it working again. I have had to do this with brand new motors. If voltage is not present at the motor connector, either a bad switch or a broken wire exsists. Make sure to check for voltage coming to that windows switch. Actually, GM use's a circuit breaker type relay for each window and one fuse for all the circuit breakers.

Passenger side power window suddenly quit working. Window is in "up" position, but will not work from either the driver control switch, nor the passenger control switch.

I had the same problem with my driver side window, so I just replaced the power window motor. It took less than an hour, cost about $35 or $40 and it works perfectly now.
