help. passenger power window switch wont work

[hardhitter78]

Hi all just need some help. I was installing sole new speakers into my galant today took the passenger door card off to make things easier. When I finished I put it all back together went to put my window up using the passenger switch and nothing won't work at all. But if I use the switch on the drivers side it goes up and down without a problem... any ideas what it could be. Ive tried blowing in the connections to make sure there isnt any dirt..
Do you have to reprogram the switch at all??

[Nick Mann]

No programming is necessary. It's a duff switch or a bad connection.

[hardhitter78]

Cleaned it with a contact cleaner and still no good.
Time for a new switch

Try a switch from one of the rear doors maybe? That way you can make sure it's not the wiring or the plug.

[hardhitter78]

Thats a good idea might try the back door switch tomorrow

you have put the window lock on have you?
the one activated from the drivers door panel. it is an easy mistake to make.

What was the issue, and how did you resolve it?

Someone else may encounter the same issue in the future, and your reply with the solution could really help someone out in the future!

Was it the locking switch on the drivers door? lol.

My son likes playing with the windows in the back, but I just put the lock on and tell him he broke it.

lol......,i got that same problem.

[hardhitter78]

Yeah the lock button was down on the drivers side. Didnt think to check it. Feel like a dumb ass right now

[Nick Mann]

Heh, don't worry about it. If anyone tells you that they have never made a mistake then they have never done anything.

[Davezj]

only reason i suggested this this is because i have done it myself.

this why we are here to pass on experiance.

Yeah no biggie I've done so many stupid things when working on my car.
