I tried getting it to work on the drivers side switches and it still dosent work. The motor makes no noise. What will cause this to happen?
First thing I look for is make sure child lockout button is NOT depressed. (I see that A LOT)
After that, there are two things to look for.
1. No power.
Could be a blown fuse, a bad switch. If you've tried both and the child lock is not the problem, I would put the switch at a lower probability. maybe a broken wire - usually around the door to pillar boot.
2. bad window motor.
There are easy ways to test this, but all involve removing the inner door panel.
after the panel is off, use a test light, unplug the window motor, put the test light in each of the connections and try your window switches. if you get power, then it is most likely the motor.
If you do NOT get power, then you are chasing a fuse, a bad switch, or a broken wire some where.
I hope this helps

Sounds like you will need to replace the power window regulator in the driver's side door.

the drivers door switch is most likely bad, they get used the most and wear out first, the connector on the back of switch may have come loose and not making good electrical contact, remove switch and check connector and if still not working need new switch, the windows are all on same circuit and either all work or none work so not fuse. extremely rare is a short in wired but not likely.
Window fuse's and relay's may be up under driver or passenger side dash or behind glove box, under the hood and even under the seats, and finally on the ends of the dash. All passenger power windows are controlled thru and get power from the master control switch on the drivers door.
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. Check that all switches return to neutral when released.
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 that's 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 exists. 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.
Try this....
Open the door, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine and everything that makes noise is off. Lean down placing your ears close to the bottom center of the door or at the speaker grill. Press the window switch UP and DOWN. Listen for the window motor. If heard the drive is damaged. If not heard, turn key off and locate and replace the relay with one of the other window relays. Check window again. If it works now, get a new relay. More often than not, removing the motor and turning it by hand will get it working good as new. I have had to do that with Brand New motors! So try it.
If all has failed, with the door panel still off, check for voltage at the motor connector when pushing the window switch. No voltage means its the switch, especially if its a auto down or up switch.
You may also find that the connector has simply come loose from the master window control. Good luck!!
