Default PASS windo wont go down??

Went to put my passenger window down yesterday, wouldnt go down

Whether I used drivers or pass switch, heard a click, seems to be coming from module

Tried putting in a new module in pass side, no luck same thing

Checked all plugs etc, no luck

Any suggestions?

Thanks

George

Fixed mine yesterday. Pull off the panel and tap the window motor with a small hammer.

Common issue.

Replace the window regulators or attempt to repair them by cleaning up the brushes on the motor.

THe temporary fix is to knock the flat spot on the inside of the door panel that is about the size of a quarter. THis will sometimes unstick the motor temporarily.

Hold the window button up or down while you slam the door closed.
