How do you repair a driver's door power window on a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am SE that will not go up or down using the window switch?

In some cases, all you need to do is hit the inside of the car door with a rubber mallet. This causes the brushes in the motor to make better contact with the armature and make the window motor run. You want to do this while holding the power window button in the up or down position while hitting the door with a mallet. It may take 2 people to do this!!!
If this does not work, then there are either problems with the switch or the motor. Easiest fix is to get replacement parts from the junkyard!!!!

Why would the drivers master window control switch and the window switch behind the drivers side not work on a 1990 Toyota Camry?
The drivers window switch on the master switch energizes a solenoid for the express down feature of the drivers window. The solenoid deenergizes when the window bottoms out causing the thermal overload in the window motor to open. A spring in the solenoid is supposed to break the open circuit and provide power to the close circuit when deenergized. Sometimes the spring gets weak or the solenoid plunger is sticky preventing powering the close circuit. Removing the door panel and diaassembling the master switch is not a DIY. I have had success banging on the arm rest adjacent to the master switch to get the spring to make the close circuit. My guess is the rear window switch gets its power from the same movable contact as the drivers window switch.
