Passenger window not working
 

OK this is really dumb but maybe it can help someone out who is as dumb as me.
My passenger window quit working today. It doesn't go up or down and the switch is not lit. The same thing happened about six months ago and I had the dealer fix it when he replaced my transmission. I didn't ask what the problem was, I was just happy to have a new transmission and working window.
So, I checked the forum and discovered that the window can be reprogramed by turning ign switch on, engine off, and hold switch down until the window goes down and clicks. Tried it and it didn't do anything.
OK must be a blown fuse.
Checked the fuse under the hood and it's good. WTF?
OK let's bring it to the dealer. I think they're open on Sunday.
So, I get in the car to go to the dealer and think "let me try the programming thing again." Turn on the ignition, hold the switch down and nothing.
Wait a minute......What is that switch above the driver's window switch? It has some kind of weird pictograph of something on it. Looks kinda like a window.
I push the switch and the light on the passenger window switch lights and the window works again.


Oh, that's the passenger window disable switch.

lol

RTFM

Well, at least you "solved" your own "problem" ......http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...es/shoofly.gif

Heck, back in the day, we had it simpler ....... we even had windows that did this ...... http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...mages/woot.gif

That crank is both lighter and more reliable than a motor, reduction gear, associated wiring, switches...

Still not used to the noise the auto up/down makes when I open or close the door. Like Humfrz says in the old days we had cranks and if your window made that noise when you closed the door it meant it just jumped the track. Couple of hours of messing with it meant you were good for a few more months!

DONT FEEL STUPID. Im very mechanical savvy, do all my own work no matter what it is. With the exception of lastnight. get in my car and same problem passenger window wont work + no light so i decided to fix it in the morning before work. BOOM, window lock button was activated. :bonk: #blunted :lol:

:lol::lol:LmfaO! I probably would have thought the same thing.....

You saved my ass tonight. I was driving home from dinner with the gf with the windows down. Went to raise them and saw that she had her hand out the window. Panicked and flailed for the window switch and must have accidentally hit this button. I did RTFM when I got the car but must have forgotten 'cause I have no use for that stupid button. Either way, after checking all the fuses and disconnecting the battery, I googled and found you. So thanks.

I'm guilty of this too.

This one time I locked myself in the car...

Thank you for the write up!

Now I can reconnect the battery and put the door panels back on...:lol:

This thread literally just saved me from doing the same lol

Hey, live and learn lol
