Took the vette out today to a car show and everything was great. After the show we went out for dinner so I put in the tops and closed the windows. When we finished dinner about an hour later I started the car and powered the windows to go down. The drivers side window went all the way down as it always has, the passenger window stopped about 2" from being all the way down and wouldn't go down any further. I could raise the window but the window wouldn't go down. I powered the window all the way up and there it stays, won't go down. The drivers window still works properly. Any ideas what the problem is? Thanks in advance for all replies!

It could be the switch or it could be something else. Your post isn't 100% clear. Are you saying nothing happens now? If nothing happens do the interior lights dim when you hit the power window switch?

Everything in the car is the same as before the passenger window stopped going down. The lights don't dim, there is no hum, clicking or noise coming from the motor when the switch is activated. I was doing some homework (internet search) and possible causes consist of:
1. loose ground
2. bad/loose wiring
3. bad switch
4. bad motor

My guess is that the regulator is hanging up, you'll have to remove the door panel and see what the problem is.

Boy.. I thought I posted in here last night.. but I guess I got my threads confused. I tried to find it earlier today and couldn't.. anyway..

this isn't for a 1979 but it's pretty much the same and the diagnostics are the same.
