Why did my window stop working

[PUREPWR]

OK I replaced my window motor last summer in my drivers door and it has been working great, really fast and no problems at all. So yesturday I roll the window down automatically and go to roll it up and NOTHING, the window is completly dead, i tried pulling it up and it didnt budge a centimeter. So now im thinking it has no power like a short or something. I pulled out my Chiltons Manuel and it says that it could be the fuses or a circuit breaker. Where is the circuit breaker in the car? Is it the box under the hood, or the take off plate to the left of the steering wheel? I checked both those places and they seemed alright. So does anybody have any idea of where else i could check to see if power is getting to it.

thanks

could be a bad switch.

The motor itself has a circuit breaker in it so if you get fingers, head, small animals stuck in the window when it's going up it does crush them. Once the motor cools off it works again. Not something you have to manually reset.

yea its definalty not the motor i dont think becuase i just let the car sit in the garage overnight for it to cool off and it still doesnt do anything.

Christopher - when you say switch you mean the black thing that all the wires plug into right? Or..???

Sound like it's time to tear the door panel off. If the motor is working and just getting weak the window should go up with help. Could just be out of adjustment and binding on something. Just watch the finger tips.

Check this out from Rob's (ShoeBox) site.

The stabilizers in my windows don't stay adjusted properly and I'm forever readjusting them. When they get out of wack the window won't go up properly.

I've heard of some of the replacment motors not lasting very long either.

And like Christopherrr said, it could just be the switch.

OK i was messing around with the switch and a volt meter and i am getting power to the switch and out of nowhere the window rolled all the way up. So im pretty sure it is the window switch, my next question is that i can still roll down the passenger window from the driver door controls. Is it possible that only half of the switch is gone south?

It was the window switch. Picked one up for $28 at autozone put it in in the parking lot and works just like it did. thanks guys
