Default Drivers Side Window?

Suddenly, my drivers side window won't work. I noticed a few weeks ago, after it rained, it would work only if I held the switch while slamming the door, I could get it to move slightly — eventually getting it
to operate. Now after another hard rain, it won't operate at all. It's stuck
in the up position. Please help. Thanks.

That's why mine has never seen rain in 23 years! It will melt!

On a serious note, have you pulled off the door panel and checked all of the connections? Could be as easy as that!

What year Vette???

Could be dirty contacts in the console sw; they can get covered with a black coating over time. BTW, the sw is a real PITA to remove from the console but a good starting place.

Hi, I just bought a new motor for the passenger window, done , fast up and down, actually closes tight now, I used to tell my passenger to open the door to close it to the top, they said"What?Are you kidding me"
