Cool No action on driver side power window

When I got the truck, door electrical was disconnected and hanging.
After attaching the ground wire, i got the passenger electrical both the door lock and window motor working.

Got the door locks to work using driver's side switch.
Problem: Driver side window switch(s) getting no action.
I thinking replace driver's side the window motor?
I don't understand why, I can't get any action on the passenger window using the driver's side switch... the motor is good.
Is there another ground wire disconnected somewhere?

I would be nice to be able to lower/raise the window at the drive-thru....

Thanks.

The Switch has gone bad.
The DS switch is always the most used and first to go.
Good news is there are several applicable vehicle to get one from.

Or for new at FTE sponsor sites

I forgot to mention that these window motors don't last as long as I think they should.
I changed out 2 of them for friend's of mine with an 84 & an 86 respectively.

Mil1on,

While in salvage yard I noticed all the motors where gone and switches were cut. When I say all, mean ALL!

PS side window, though working, she was struggling in getting up and down. I removed the door panel and shoot some and excessive amount of super-lube on the guides and tracks and she gets where she's going in short order with no apparent resistance. This may take some of the stress off the motor.... Last longer? Maybe!

Thanks again for feed.... With the help of everyone on FTE there is nothing we can't get done.

I got them both working today after I failed state safety inspection....
Had to remove kick plate and rechecked connections.... the connection was loose.
I have both windows working.... going back to the inspection station in the morning.

Thanks.
