2000 saturn power windows,driver window does not

2000 saturn power windows,driver window does not work. Is this a switch? can I fix myself?

  • darladelaves Oct 27, 2009

    All of the other windows work fine. I would asume that all windows would not work if motor was bad. How can I get specs on this job? I went to Saturn site,no help. They want around 200.00 at dealership to fix! It is going to rain and the window is down all the way.

You would first have to make sure it is switch.Motors and regulators go out often. Does the drivers door switch operate passenger side ok? Can you hear any noise when switch is is up or down position?You would want to make sure all of this first. Door panel controls are easy to replace but you really want to remove panel and make sure you have good motor and window regulator.

The rear windows on my '04 Saturn Ion won't open from any of the controls.

Rear Passenger Power Window Operation
The rear passenger power window switches receive battery voltage through the window lockout control circuit if the window lockout function is disabled. Ground for the rear passenger power window motors is supplied through normally closed up and down contacts of both the rear passenger power window switches and the driver power window switch. When the either rear passenger power window switch is placed in the down position, the power window motor down control circuit is switched to 12 volts and is applied to the down side of the rear passenger power window motor. Since the other side of the rear passenger power motor is connected to ground through the normally closed up contacts of both the rear passenger and driver power window switches, the window travels down. By placing the rear passenger power window switch in the up position, the polarity of the power window motor is reversed and the window travels up.
The rear passenger power windows can also be controlled from the driver power window switch.

Did you try pushing the lock out switch on the drivers master switch ?

My mother in law has 07 saturn ion drivers side window stopped working I good with cars never worked on a saturn did they have a window issue

Saturn doesn't have window issue ,no more then anyother car maker . Window switches go bad as do window regulators , wire's break inside the flex boot from the body to the door . Learning how to test the electrical circuit's is the way to find the problem , not looking for magical fixes on here . Viewing a wiring diagram an testing the circuit's with a test light or a voltmeter .

All 4 windows won't roll down

Cannot be window switches. 4 of them do not all go bad at same time. but they all have in common the power that feeds them and is obviously not getting there. Using schematic trace voltage to the switches. Gtranted you changed the relay but is power getting to the relay for it to switch?

The Driver side window on my 2000 Buick Park Avenue will not go all the way up. It started making this strange noise when I would lower and raise the window, but now it is stuck in the midway position. ...

Would have to experience window problem myself, but sounds like you may need a new power window motor and/or window sash "peanut". (must remove door to fix this problem) 45 min. job for exp. tech. Good luck,best regards.

How do I lift my power window if the switch is not working? The window will go down but unable to make it come back up. This is a 2000 Saturn LS. It is is only a problem on the driver side window.

get a new power window regulator on ebay or at a parts store and have a glass shop install it for you. it is an electric motor and like all others, it will wear out with use and age. that is why the driver's window is almost always first to fail.

Saturn electronic window stuck

its either the power window switch or the power window motor, disoconnect the power window motor in the door and check to see if you got power and ground at the connector when you press the switch,,could be either,,,both are common

Front driver auto electric window won't go down. L series saturn 2000

I have an '01' L200. I'll bet the problem is in the switch. I've been through 2 of them. The electrical contacts wear out especially on the drivers side. That's the one that gets the most use right? [no left really]. Pop out the old switch next to the shift lever. Gently pry up the front of the switch, then the rear. It will come out easy enough. The whole thing is one assembly that simply unplugs. It's not the same as the passenger side switch because of the window lock switch, the wiring harness is different, so they are not interchangeable. See if your local junkyard can fix you up with a replacement. Way cheaper than a dealer!
