Default HELP! Drivers window won't move

Help! I changed door panels on my car, now the driver's window will not move. It is in the down position and you can hear it click when you use the window button. Tried the original door panel/switch, same clicking noise.
Any ideas what could have happened? I can't get the top up because I can't index the window!

Did you try it from the inside with the door closed?

You can also "close" the latch on the door/latch jam to simulate the door being closed. It should go up now so it can be indexed. Hit the door open button to Open the door before closing it against the closed latch.

You may have to do the battery disconnect thing also to reset the computer.

Maybe this will be it.

Never in a million years would I have expected that the door had to be closed the first time to operate the window!

46490 and I found this out also when we installed Crazy Cowboy's insulation on our cars. We also found out that after hooking up the battery the Vert's windows must be up for the top to close. Of course the first thing it does is drop the windows.
