HELP! Pass. window not working!
Hey guys, I got in my car today, and started it. Tried to roll down the windows, and the drivers side went down great. Passenger side, doesnt. I push the button and it clicks, like a relay or something. It has never acted up before. I tried turning the car off, taking the key out, and then starting it again. I opened the pass. door, and tried using that switch. Same clicking noise. The car JUST hit 25,000 miles so theres no way it can be worn out! HELP!

Damn... I would attempt it myself I don't want to see what the dealer wants for this. I don't have a warranty!

try taking your fist and whacking the door first. whack it near the grab handle area. mine stuck once right when i got it and i whacked it and i guess it free'd up whatever and now its been working fine for 2 yrs.

Mine has done this on occasion a couple of times in the past. Make a fist and give the door panel a thump or two like sebringsilver97coupe says, or just open and close the door firmly (no hard slamming!) a couple times and it usually starts working again just fine. Lack of use and/or maybe a little moisture/corrosion may be the culprit. I have the distinct feeling that more dealers have "replaced" perfectly good motors this way and charged the customer (or GM) the full price. HTH
