Passenger window switch works but the drivers side switch does not

Took the passenger side panel off and Replaced window regulator motor was still good. Window goes up and down quietly from the passenger side. Went to test driver's side control and nothing what do I check for on drivers side

    Thank You! I was debating to open the driver's side panel or just open and close the door a couple times. Chose to open and close the door, turned on the ignition pressed the window switch and the window went down and up. Happy I didn't have to clean the contacts on switch. First time ever, changed the window regulator found the kinks in the cable a nightmare. Sprayed lubricant in the rubber and ran the window up and down a few times hope to prevent the glass from being dragged on the rubber, possible why cable kinked so badly or previous owners err. Tested the motor before ordering the replacement part. Now on to figuring out how to remove the back bench seat to find out why the driver's side back door won't open from the inside and outside. Looking forward to another project. Thank you all for your solutions

Was regulator bad? did it work from drivers side switch before you did regulator repair?..if so passenger side switch wiring has issue and is not sending signal through it back to the drivers side master switches.. otherwise you need to pin test for power up power down on drivers side switch and repair that if issue going to the window on passenger side.. (possible pinched at door jam area common)

SOURCE: passenger side window won't roll up using the driver's side switc

Before you replace anything, inspect the connector pins in both the driver's door switch and the passenger door switch. If you don't find any problem with these connector pins, replace the driver's door control switch.

SOURCE: I replaced the driver's side window motor because

I don't know everything there is to know about window motors, but I have seen this before, both mine went out at the same time, not together but a couple weeks apart, like they were dated. Anyway, I replaced both motors, then both operators. Now they both work fine. I would hang on to the old motor, you never know, it might be good, You might have a bad switch on the door, I had to take my switches apart on my other truck and clean the contacts, got both motors working again, Hope this helps.

SOURCE: The front passenger window only goes down but not

I would suspect the passenger side switch or connector will be the likely solution. As the drivers(master) switch operates independly from any of the passenger doors. Check the connection, and if good replace the switch.

SOURCE: 2006 hyundai elantra passenger side window will go down but not up from driver or passenger switch

The motor is a basic reversable electric motor, you provide power and ground to go one way then reverse it to go the other.
Are you getting power and ground on the wires in both directions ?

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.

The odds of both switches going bad at the same time is high, remove the door panel and tap on the window motor with a hammer, while trying the switches. I may have jammed up. Ground a test light and check the motor connection, while trying the switch, power will show on either side depending on if it turning up or down

Ford Ka electric windows passenger works drivers doesn't. I replaced the switch and still nothing. If I diconnect the drivers switch the passenger window stop s working so there's some connect

The relay operates all the windows. The drivers door switch is the master and has to be connected for the rest to work. It sounds like you have a bad motor or a bad connection on the motor in the drivers door.

Passenger side window stopped working, is this a fuse problem? Driver's side is still functional.

It's not a fuse issue. Can you roll the window to the passenger side down with the drivers side panel? If you can then the control panel on the passenger side needs replaced. If you can't then the regulator/motor/tract for the window on the passenger side would need to be addressed.

Probably motor and regulator, if you tried both switches on driver and passenger side suspect both window motor and regulator on passenger side sometimes while pressing the switch on the passenger side bang on the door panel inside and sometimes it may move if it does then suspect only the window motor.

Passenger Window Stuck all the way Down

Try switching the power window switch from the passenger side to the drivers side. Before you do that try with the switch on the up position, wiggle it from side to side. The contacts may be worn and by wiggling it may make contact. Other then that try to park it in side or garbage bag taped to keep rain out till you get it to the shop.
Hint, take it to a Auto window repair shop to replace the switch if it's bad or if the motor is bad. They have more experience to removing the door panels and removing the power window regulator (motor) if that needs to be replaced.
Good luck and hope this helps.

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.
