Default Help-Passengers side window 1993

Just bought the car and the switch to lower and raise the window does not work. It does work from the drivers side switch. Could it be a fuse or is the switch bad? If it is the switch how hard is it to replacer.

Thank You Kindly.

No it is probably a broken wire or bad motor.

How hard is it to get to the motor? Can anyone change it or should I have a dealer do it?

Thx

Swap the driver's and passenger's switches and see how it works.

A lot of current goes through the switches and the contacts can burn.

You said the window works from the driver's side switch, so that rules out the motor. My guess would be a bad switch. Swapping out the switches can rule out anything downstream of the switch. I would think the easiest way to swap would be to remove both door panels, plug the switch from driver's panel into the passenger connector. That is assuming both connectors are the same. If not, you may have to do some jumpering, and that will require a wiring diagram. Or you can just go buy a used switch from one of the vendors here.

Here is a link to removing the switch. As an extra precaution, you might want to pull the fuse or disconnect the battery before messing with this.
