Default 02 Passenger Window Probelm

Ok I've read alot of about the window problems with the C5's and I have a pretty good idea about the problems that usually haunt these cars.

My car is a recent rebuild from being hit in the passenger door. I cant get the pass. window to work from the driver side or pass. side. I dont here the relay engaging in the door control module. I have all the electrical schematics for the doors but my question is, does the driver push button also operate the relay in the passenger door or does it skip that relay and just control the passenger motor. I dont see this in the schematics.

Any help would be awesome, this is my first corvette so I'm just getting started.

If the window is stuck in the UP position you can try a quick fix. Sit in the passenger seat and open the door, then while constantly holding the passenger window down button slam the door shut. The hard slam will cause the window to operate again. It happened to me a couple of years ago and this solution fixed my 03 Coupe. Hasn't happened again.

Good Luck!

Its actually in the down position, I can apply 12 volts directly to the window motor and it works up and down. But it just won't work from the push button on either side of the car.

I just had the regulator in the passenger side replaced. Either button would make the relay click in the passenger door, but the window never moved.

It seems to me that if you can make the motor work by applying voltage directly to the motor, then the problem is either in the door control module, or the switch.
Can you hear the relay click when you push the button?
