    My passenger window will not roll up. I even went through and ripped the regulator and motor out thinking that was the issue. But after doing some more research I thought I would test the switch and motor with my power probe. I am getting power from my switch on both directions, and if I plug the ground and power up one side on the motor it runs either way even when I switch them. But yet if I plug it back into the stock harness the motor will not run? I am kind of at a loss here scratching my head. Did I lose a ground somewhere? That's the only thing I can think of.

    You didn’t press the window lockout button by accident did you? Simple fix if so. Sometimes I accidentally press mine and it shuts down the passenger side.

    Well if the switch still shows power when being activated would the lockout still have something to do with it? I will go and double check the lockout button lol that would be so nice if that was the fix. Thank you fingers crossed.

    I had a similar problem like this with my window. After some research on here I ended up taking that switch out and taking it apart to clean off the contacts and that was the problem. Not sure if this is your problem but you can try it.

    With the engine off, does your dome light dim when attempting to move the window?

    Make a test light with a headlight or fog light bulb and plug it into the harness in place of the window motor.

    Bad ground is a possibility, so is a bad motor that stalls under load.

    so as much as I don't want to write that I messed up... I'm gunna tell you that I messed up. I didn't need to tear the door apart. It was the lockout button after all. "It wasn't pushed in" but once I cycled it, the other window started working. Thank you all that replied on this matter. I feel like I wasted your time. But I also feel like I learned another good lesson about how to tear apart the door and how great the community is on the site.

    Thanks for circling back. Glad it’s working.
