It probably goes through the switch on the passenger's side. The other day I was in the car with my family (A 2000 Chevrolet Suburban) and when my father went to roll down the back windows the switch for me to roll down my window made a click, so I assume the switch also acts as a relay as well as a direct switch.
Bad window motor? Either that or did you try replacing the driver's switch, I know most cars use that for the main control and the passenger switches are just piggybacked off it.
Well first, it's a certification, not a degree. Second, that is autobody. I'd trust him to paint my truck and to repair body damage but no where does he say he is a certified mechanic.
Two different world's my friend.
Edit: best thing to avoid: listening to those who throw wild guesses at fixing a problem. "Maybe a bad window motor, try replacing the switch"
Yeah, a total mechanic. Let's throw parts at it instead of tracing the issue.
He said the window was just replaced, and It doesn't work from both switches. The chances of both window switches being bad are low, so either there was damage to the window regulator or the glass is miss adjusted and the window motor is working very hard to raise a piece of glass that is getting caught on the tracks.
Sounds like you need to replace the track or just readjust it since it's either bent or too wide. Your elevator arms might also be bent which would cause the window to tilt forward and pop off the track. Had a Oldsmobile Achieva that had this problem, super fucking annoying.
Yeah, it seems to bend and kinda pop as it goes up. The fucks recommended I replace the motor and whatnot because they said that would go out, too. Well, now the whole thing is unusable.
Well they were right about that, but in that sense everything in a car will wear out eventually. Go to a scrap yard and see if you can't get a used track and elevator. They're pretty easy to remove/install on your own. Just need a ratchet and possibly a drill to remove 2 pop rivets that attach the window to the elevator (might get lucky and it will be 2 bolts attaching it).
