I worked on a vehicle with a similar problem and the answer was the master switch in driver door another time it was the motor in driver door. Take off door panel, disconnect motor insert leads from a multimeter into the wire harness for Windows and set meter to continuity activate switch for up and then down listening for a beep sound if don't hear replace switch

Testimonial: "what a great help. I will be using your suggestions ."

    problem was no juice to fuse, ran it down cause to another huge fuse (under hood) that tripped. looks like all generated from window switch shorting out when a wire was just ever so slightly exposed . thank you again.

Pull the door panels and check the windows or spend the money and have the BCM scanned for fault codes.

I think your problem is going to be in the switch itself.

There are several things that can cause these to fail in addition to a fuse. You need specialist knowledge to trace out the circuit and identify if it is the switches, power supply, wiring or control circuits. I suggest you take it to your local repairer or an auto electrician. I presume you have checked that the lock out switch is not on.

Why wont the power windows in my 2004 Mitsubishi eclipse rs work?

If this problem has to do with just one window , then the windows motor has to be replaced . If all of the windows don't work , check the power cable or the fuses : there is a fuse box under the hood .

Doorlocks dont work except from passenger side. mirrors dont work. windows dont work from anywhere

First, check all fuses to make sure that none are blown.

If the door lock switch works on the passenger side, then the drivers side door lock switch is probably faulty. Use a multi-meter to test the Drivers Side Door Lock Switch (Black and Pink/Light Green wires unlock the vehicle, and the Black and Pink/Yellow wires lock the vehicle)
If the switch is tested and found to be operating properly, you may have a faulty Body Security Module or Drivers Side Door Lock Actuator.

If neither of your Power Mirrors are working, you probably have a faulty Exterior Rear View Mirror Switch, Power Mirror Module, or blown Central Junction Box Fuse.

If none of your Power Windows are working, you probably have a faulty Accessory Delay Relay or a blown fuse in your Central Junction Box or a faulty Master Window Adjust Switch (all of the Power Window Switches feed through this Master Window Switch). If the Power Windows didn't stop working at the same time, you may have faulty Window Adjust Switches, or faulty Power Window Motors, this is very unlikely though. It would also be a good idea to inspect the wiring for any obvious damage.

1990 camry power windows and locks donot work from drivers side also automatic seatbelt on drivers side stoped working the power lock button on passenger side works

Relays & fuses will be my first choice, but sometimes age and wear kils electronic switches, my next advice woul be your driver side control side panel inside the panel at the door may carry fuses or relays or the control panel switch may be faulty itself chec your repair book for your automobile.

My window on 2005 infiniti g35 stop working recommendations?

I have a 2004 G35 Coupe that had the same probelm.

I checked some fuses -- all appeared to be OK. Then tried locking and unlocking the driver-side car door several time, using the key and the car fob.

Presto, the window stared working again.

Caution, I believe there is an issue (at least with the coupe) about raising windows while the door is open and then closing the door.

Power window, passenger side is not clossing would

If the window will not go up or down here is what I found it to be from experience.
1. Simply the window motor has burned out and it needs to be replaced. Which is a common problem on first generation G35 coupes and sedans.
2. The window sub switch does not work properly (switch that has the unlock/lock button and window up and down button) it is a white box that needs to be replaced.
