Power windows don't work

My power window just quite working one day. While I had the door open and the car running I grabbed the plastic boot that run between the car and the dorr and the passenger window can down a little and then stopped. I assume I have a bad wire connection. How do I go about fixing it from here.

Olds aurora 1999 all four power windows quit working at one time. power sunroof still works.

Then you have two possibilities. First, most likely. Wires have broken. Open the drivers door and at the front you will see a rubber boot from the frame to the door. This is where the wires like to break. Second would be the master switch failed. I have replaced one or two(in 30 years) that the switch completely died. Usually just one or two windows quit working.

My power windows won't work in my 2002 jeep grand cherokee

Check the lockout switch for the windows. There is a lockout switch on the drivers door that will turn off all window functions in the car. Even the drivers controls.
Also after you have rulled that out, then try the window switches on each individual door.
If nothing is still working, I would try replacing the drivers switch assembly first. They are known problems. Just pay and change it. Be sure. Life is better this way.
Then change the motors in the doors if this does not cure it.
Also change the power lock motor in the failed door.
This will restore you to normal. Ebay is full of quality parts for your Jeep. I buy mine there on Ebay.

Doors wont lock. Windows won't work. Car thinks the door is locked because when I open the hood alarm goes off. Security light is flashing when doors are closed. Locks don't engage when driving...

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 and locks are controlled thru and get power from the master control switch on the drivers door. Could 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. It could also be the body control module.

Own a 1996 Dodge Caravan. Power window doesn't work on drivers side, nor for the rear side windows. Replaced the power window switch and this did not solve the problem. The only window that works is...

nitescot, What you can try is to open up the rubber boot running from the body of the vehicle to the door. The constant opening and closing of the door will sometimes cause the wires inside the boot to break. This is a common problem when it comes to power windows. Open the boot with a knife being careful not to damage the wires inside. Look for any broken wires. Repair as necessary. Good luck with this.

Have a honda accord. 98. power locks not working. or key locks all doors from outside. windows work but only from the door that its on. drivers door will not operate others. but the window lock dose work.?...

Yes, the driver´s door has the master switch for everything. No need to dismount the door panel. Look inside the door grab rail ( which is part of the window switch subpanel)and there is a tiny black plastic cover that hides a single phillips screw. Lift the cosmetic screw cover with a tiny flat screwdriver, there is a slot to insert the screwdriver, to lift it. PARTIALLY, just enough to see the screw.Unscrew it, and the whole subpanel comes out, pulling upwards. The screw plastic cover is very frail, and has a slave strip that attaches it to the bottom, when unscrewing, be very careful not to break it. The subpanel itself has 2 or 3 connectors to handle window / window lock and remote mirror duties. Check that all connectors are plugged in firmly. If they all were attached to begin with, check that the contacts have not rusted.

Windows work intermittently in my 99 regal gs, when they stop i grab the weather boot in the door and they work again. this is only windows, not power locks or speaker in driver door

I would check under the boot to see if you have a broken wire under there. That is probably where the wires run for your power windows.

Power windows don't work on all 4 doors and power lock doesn't work on the driver door. 2004 jeep grand cherokee

On the driver side, the window/door lock module has the power lead either pulling away from the connection or has broke entirely. Another common cause is the wire harness between the door jam, this is the area that has a rubber boot covering the wires and from opening and closing the door, it creates a broken or loose connection over time. Open the driver side door, grab the rubber boot that the wires run thru, and move it around. Some times this will help create the connection and restore the power. If not, the door panel will need to be removed to inspect the wire connections.
