Window help!
While driving in sunny southern california, I decided to lower my windows to enjoy the gorgeous day only to find out that my passenger side windows won't go down.
I tried the driver side and the passenger side buttons with no luck, I just hear a slight clicking sound.
Electrical Probs right?

Check th fuses first.
Window control module or actuator maybe?
You have a warranty?

I have been having this problem on and off for about a year ,started when warranty ran out of course. I used to be able to fix it by holding down the window bottom and slamming the door at the same time. Now I have to take the door panel off and tap on the power window motor with the end of a screw driver to make it start working again. Seems to be getting worse lately. Has anybody ever taken the motor out to see what is causing the problem ? I bet it is just a simple fix if you can just get to it.

I am currently having the same issue....you'll start getting other bugs too. I read a great post on how the chassis grounds on the C5 get corroded and start making the electrical system turn stupid....
There's a sticky at the top of the C5 General section http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=984927
read the section towards the top on chassis grounds and the link to the major write up.
Basically I'm cleaning my chassis grounds and will see if it clears up.

Yes I do have warranty.
Will have the dreaded dealer
take a look at it along with the wind noise I am getting from the driver side door (yes the window is up). I think the noise is due to weatherstripping.......What does the forum think?

I had my weather stripping replaced, but ony after it was torn. Still had wind noise, adjusted the roof panel ... no more noise.
