Default odd electrical gremlin in pass. door

I just finished installing a new transmission and diff and coilovers into my 99 frc and while taking it for a test drive my passanger rolled the window down then it wouldnt go back up, also the electric lock isnt working on that side either. Where do I start? Is there a fuse for the passenger door only ?

Jiggle the accordian located between the door and body of the car. If you remove the accordian attached to the body and gently pull up the wires, you'll find a couple of connectors in there. They often get loose and can cause all sorts of gremlins.

LOL!!! You did the BAND AID fix. You problem WILL return!

Pop that accordion tube out, seperate the connector and examine the FEAMLE PINS... Some will be bent/spread apart. You can bend the femal pins back in shape so that they make proper contact with the male pins.

Thank you for posting Sean and Bill! Drove my '02 last night and noticed the driver side window wouldn't roll up. Exited the car, got back in, everything normal. Got in tonight, drove about a half mile and EVERY warning light/message possible came on! all gauges read to one extreme or another, i just about panicked! Got home and turned on the greatest website known to man and immediatly found this thread! Musta been fate! Performed Bill's fix, cleared the codes and the little lady and I have been cruising all night, top-out with no codes or problems whatsoever. Fingers crossed. This forum probably just saved me another wad of c-notes! Thanks Bill!!!
