I have this same problem and thought it was the switch because it was buzzing when I pressed it. I went to the dealer to get a replacement and he said that he's replaced hundreds of motors, but never a switch. Pig-headed as I am, I ordered the new switch and installed it. Turns out, the parts manager was correct. I'm in the process now of analyzing the job of replacing the motor. I looks like just a few bolts and an electrical connection, but it's hard to tell w/o the manual b/c everything is behind sheet metal once the panel is removed.
what is the average repair cost to fix an electric window switch motor 2003 jeep
First test to see if the problem is the switch, wiring, or the motor. Here's howhttp://www.ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/repair-topics/window-power-repair/test-power-window-motor-and-regulatorThen replace the regulator if the switch and wiring test good. Here's howhttp://www.ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/repair-topics/window-power-repair/replace-a-power-window-motor-regulator
the switch is on the door panel approx four inches from the window, this is the only switch that sends power to the window regulator motor (window motor).
check to see if the window switch of the driver's side is getting power, if you are getting power to the switch and the switch is sending power out to the motor but the motor is not responding the motor needs to be replaced
You are going to have 2 things to repair with this problem. The window switch and the window motor. The weak motor has melted the inside of the switch. Yep...been there,done that.Replacing the motor wont fix the switch and if you replace the switch the weak motor will melt the new switch.
Remove door panel to check wiring to switch and motor See if motor is getting power through the switch - if so motor is bad If no power to motor check operation of switch - jump wires to test if window works bad switch
Must replace window regulatorhttp://www.ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/repair-topics/window-power-repair/replace-a-power-window-motor-regulator
Bad switch? Bad motor? Check to see if you are getting power to motor--if so bad motor -- if not may be bad switch Is it the driver's door, or one of the other 3? If it's not the driver's door, try moving the window with either the switch on that door or the on the driver's door. If you have a bad switch, you may be able to move the window with the other switch. If it's the driver's door, you will have to remove the switchassembly and start testing. If I had to take a guess, I'd guess that it's the switch and not the motor, but that's a guess. massvolvoman
well iam a retard you have take off the door panel to get to the motor but to replace the window switch get a flathead sd and stick it under the front of the switch holder and lift up
if manual, window regulator. if electric, check fuses, window switch, window motor, window regulator.
