ok soo i installed a new passenger side window switch and the problem is still occuring soo what could be next??? what else should i check?? like i said one day it will work fine and it will sit over night and then in the morning it might now work at all,when it works it works great but its just acting up now and it was acting up as much as it has this past week soo what ever it is it is getting worse..soo what would you guys check next?? does the power go through the driver side switch then jump over to the passenger side?? like what are some things i can check?? i rolled out the passenger side switch..whats next help please..??

 

I'm not an electrical guru, but you need to find a diagram of the wiring circuit. Then wait until it starts acting up and check the wiring with an ohm meter to look for a short. Either that or stick the meter on and wiggle the wires down the full length (kind of hard to do) to check for an intermittent short.

 

Take a look at the wiring that passes through the rubber boot inbetween the door jamb and the door. There may be a wire that is making and breaking contact on you.

 

why not test the electrical connections when it's acting up (with a multimeter), and if they are good then it's the motor. I had a Camry with a motor slowing dying that would go down, but usually took an hour (and ten tries) to get it back up...

go to autozone and get a new motor then you can take that out of the equation.

 

The power window wiring gets power from the drivers side switch, then runs to each door from there. Make sure you don't have a loose plug or chaffed wire on the drivers side too.

 

ok well i took the door panel off and even tested the plug at the electric motor and it had power to i plugged it back in and the window worked fine all night and all day today and not tonight after my truck sat for a couple hours i got out to try it and nothing again..would a bad motor act like this??

 

It doesn't work from either the passenger or drivers side switch?

 

nope neither, but when it does work it works fine but when it doesnt neither switch does anything..

 

Try to wiggle the fuse for it when it is not working. This happened to my Dad and drove him crazy trying to figure out what was going on. The female part of the fuse connection was not making good contact. I guess it was expanding and contracting a little probably based on temps.

 

is there a fuse just for the passenger side window?? cause i never have a problem with the drive side..its always just the passenger and i didnt know if they had them on the same fuse or not,...

 

Well...

If you tested it with a MM at the plug and got power when switch was activated...Id get a new motor...

 

i just tested it with a test light i didnt use a multimeter but if its not working and i unplug it and plug it back in it will start working again..and about the fuse are they seperated fuses for each window?? or do they have both windows on the same fuse...

 

My bad guess I missed that part.

 

god this is startin to bug me baaaaaaad, i figured if it was the motor it would do it all the time tho..

 

Maybe try to lubricate the side rails. Forgot what they use. Maybe the motor is getting weak.
