After having a broken drivers side window for 5 years I finally got around to finding a part to fix my window. On Saturday I replaced the entire window regulator on my drivers side door. Everything worked fine, and so I put it all back together (Imagine my glee to have this thing working after 5 years). The next evening I rolled the window down and now it will not go back up. If I push the button to make it go down it will still work, but nothing happens when you push the button to go up. I would think I would at least hear the motor click or something. Maybe it's the switch, but it would be a real coincidence if the switch went out the day after I put in the new regulator. I can not even push the window up manually. It is still on track and nothing appears to be binding on anything. The switch can still operate the passenger side window so it cannot be completely fried. Also, Sunday afternoon I rolled the window down and the first time I pushed the button nothing happened. Not sure if this is related. Thanks for the help.

i would unhook the switch and try operating it with a jumper wire... did you secure the wires on the door? could the window have unpluged the motor when it went down?

Are you talking about jumping from the connection (i.e. connecting the pins in the plug with something conductive)? If so do you know which pins to jump? The plug did not come unhooked when the window went down, and when I pulled the door panel off again last night everything looked like it was still in place.

I hope that's the problem (even though it still sucks).

yea, idk which is what, a test light can find the hot wire, then jump it to all the others, just not the black one. haynes book would be helpful

I found a salvage yard with a switch. Plugged it in and everything works. Thank you for the help.
