replaced power window motor still wont go up only down

[onebigtruck]

My passenger power window stopped working.. so I thought it was just the motor I replaced the whole contraption and hooked it up and it will only still go down and not up.

I tried both passenger button and driver button and it now doesnt work..

leading up to this it would work for a few days then stop then would work and was on and off and now I decided to try to fix it.

I got it jammed up with 2x4's holding the window up so any help would be great.

Is there a fuse or something obviously as said it goes down not up.. sounds like a bad connection but why would it stop on both sides Up button only?

I had similar problem. I had lost ground to the switch. I scabbed one in for the time being until I can find where it broke. One the back of the harness that goes into switch you can test that to see if you still have ground to your up or down... Mine wouldn't go down. Hope that helps

Remember, the main switch is the driver. The motor obviously has just 2 wires. + to one and - to the other will make it go say up, flip em and it goes down. U can test the motor like that. Then just test the switches. Probably like he said above and it has a bad connection somewhere.

sorry how did you "scab" one for the mean time? How do I even check the ground on it? I know I'd use a light test but where in the plug am I checking for the ground?

does this sound more like the driver side switch went out if it is the one that is the "driver" between it and the passenger?

I used a multimeter to find which one the ground was. Then I just got a small wire and put it in same spot as ground on the harness that clips into window switch and the grounded it to a bolt on door. This was on the pass. Side. Now it will go up and down using driver or passenger switch.

If you pop the switch panel off Have the switch facing you. Looking down on it, it would be the top left one. My is a tannish color with blue tracer.

So it is the door side wire towards the front... Hope that helps... Mine was only going up though. Not sure if there is another ground for the down as well...

i still dont understand what setting to put the volt meter on to know that is the ground or which to stick what to find out what the ground is.

is there a problem with me just taking a small wire holding it to a bolt and pushing up on the button and if that doesnt work going to another button and trying again til it works??

You'll laugh, but I had the same problem. For me its was the drives side. I thought at first it was the motor but I had down and sometimes up so I decided to troubleshoot the switch. Pulled it out of the door, took it apart, and found there were broken leads going on the up side of the switch. Replacement was $75 from the the stealer I mean dealer
