Window problem
The drivers door window on my '04 quit working. Got in it today and the window would not roll down. Passengers works great.

Try it with the door open and maybe move around the accordian looking thing housing your wires in the door

My passenger side window had stopped working last year, came to the forum, did a search and found one of the first suggestions was to tap the door panel while pressing the window button.. haven't had any issues since
Worth a try

Swap the switches from the passenger door and see if the drivers side works....

It is a convertible. So when you press the button to pop the rear deck lid both windows should roll down. When I do it, the drivers window stays put. Have a feeling it may be in a controller some where. Any one know where located and how to diagnose/trouble shoot?
