The window works on sort of a pulley system. 2 cables pull at the bottom of the window to go up or down. The cables become frayed and no longer can go into the protective sheath or the spool. You will need to take off your door skin, unbolt your motor and spool. Then unhook the cables at any point they are attached and replace them. As for the cost, dont know. I cut my cables and put my window up and down with my hand. I use my car for work so im not worried about it. Hope this helps out.

In your 1996 Chevy camaro on the driver side window switches it will raise the passenger window and lower it but does not work on the driver side window what could it be?

It could be the switch,power source to the switch, or the motor is burnt up. More than likely the motor is the problem since the driver side get a great deal more use than any other.

Why did your driver side window in your 2002 Chevy Impala stop working?

If it is just the driver side window and button, more than not the master control switch needs to be replaced. It could also be the window moter or reg. Either way its around $100 if its just the switch that's bad.

What could be wrong if the window does not lift on a 1998 Volvo V70 GLT?

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


Why wont the driver's side power window work and the others do?

could be the motor, could be a ground, could be the switch, could be the types of wiring. First, the question is confusing - Does the driver's power window work, or not work? The question asks a double negative - doesn't not work actually works. Depending on the type of vehicle - usually the motor, possibly the switch. Some vehicles use a controller for each window that "talks" to the others. Do the drivers (master) window switches still work the other windows?

How could you wire your 2005 Ford Freestyle so that the front passenger could operate their window while the rear windows are locked?

Run another dedicated hot wire to the drivers window switch. This will provide power to that window no matter if the driver cuts the power or not.


Why would the back passenger window on 1995 Isuzu Rodeo not retract from driver master switch but work on window door?

Definitely sounds like an electrical problem. First check the fuse that controls the window circuit to be sure it isn't blown out. If it's okay, then the switch could be faulty or the wiring leading from the switch to the back window motor could be broken or shorted out somwhere between the drivers position and the back of the vehicle.


What is wrong if a 1999 Malibu driver's side window will not go down when the motor and switch are ok?

Well if everything else is working, then the window itself maybe stuck. That maybe the only that could be wrong with it.
