Window not functioning

[Kenny2g]

My friends window has been cutting off and on. He'll start the car and the window will not go down. Two minutes later, i'll go down. Now, i'll just not going down at all. The fuses are fine. Any idea what this is?

Sounds like a window motor going bad and needs a replacement.....or bad window switch if lucky.

I think these windows have a relay so the drivers side switch for the right window will work - this relay went bad on our van and it could be the same for yours. Just a thought.

I still don't get it.
carcus this is the whole window. All 4. Not just the driver's side.
HElP Please.........his bugging me.

Wow, I thought it was just the one side.....that is weird. Not really sure what it is. You can rule the window motors out then. Might want to check what epj3 said. Anyone have a TIS that could check into this?

I agree with nadroj . . . my sunroof switch did the same thing. but mine was a loose connection.

Check out the connection. it's the cheapest solution.

Good Luck ! !

Easy way to find out if it's the switch or not!!! Get a very small flat screwdriver and pop the switch out, then do the same for another switch, then swap them! It happened to me and it was the switch, 37 cdn for a new switch!! Still cheaper then replacing a motor!
