  • Driver Window Problem HELP!

    Ok I did some searching and nothing has actually come up with the explanantion I needed so here it goes...

    its a 97 RS with power windows.

    the passenger window works perfect. The driver window used to work perfect then all of a sudden one day got stuck. Then after about 15 mins it went all the way up. This problem got worse and worse until the window doenst move anymore. I replaced the switch in the door(with the buttons on it) and the passenger window works even better than before.

    heres the weird part... i have an autometer volt gage.

    when i hit the passenger button, u can visibly see power being drawn by the gage moving.

    when i hit the driver button...nothing...as if no power is going to the motor. this all happened in about 3 days time and im not sure if i need a window motor or not because every once in a while the driver window will move an inch or two its driving me NUTS! yours thoughts!? Thanks guys

      x2... there's no power bc the motor has some sort of thermo switch or something that cuts off power if it gets too hot, and they get too hot because they wear out and become too underpowered to lift the window

                  one more thing...as i look up window motors...it says that the same motor will fit either the driver or passenger side...are they really interchangable like that?
