What goes down does not come up
I don't get it??? The window goes down, but does not come back up.
I have:
*Put 2 new motors in
*Put a new spring in (not sure if I did this right. it just slid in)
* Tested switch - pulled connction from motor. Put testlight on blue and pushed switch down and test light lights up. Put testlight on brown and pushed switch up and test light lights up.
I don't get it???????

I think that for the spring you installed to work it would need to be under tension,,give it a twist, BE CAREFUL ,, no action , no "help" if it just fell into place, I am sure that someone else can give ya more ideas as to why,,,Peace, Moosie
