Default Window Problems, Help!

Here is the story. My passenger window wouldn't work, so I researched some common problems here, and based on the symptoms(when I pushed the button, I could hear a relay click, but the window wouldn't move. Also, it would draw a lot of current from the battery) I purchased a new window motor with regulator. When I went to have it installed, the old motor and regulator worked fine outside the car, and the click went away, and now the lock doesn't work either. So, the next move the tech suggested was to replace the door control module. We did that, and it did nothing. I am out of ideas. Someone please help.

I'm still fighting this exact problem. I have gone through all procedures that's been recommended here with no luck. My next try is to take the two ground splice packs apart and look for bad connections there. They are bolted to the "A" (windshield) pillars behind the door sill trim.

Hi, it is possible that there is a loose wire in the acordian harness in between the door and body, pull it back and take a look. Also the window may be binding in the channel or not positioned properly.
Good Luck
