My driver's window has been acting up for a while and has finally stopped working completely. I worked on it for several hours tonight and have about convinced myself that my problem lies in the switch itself rather than the door control module. I was hoping there might be a member here locally that would consider meeting me sometime in the next few days and letting me try their window/lock switch to prove my theory before I go spend a small fortune on a new one. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes from start to finish, and doesnt require removing the door panel; the switch just pulls straight out, and there is one plug on the back.... Thanks in advance, guys!

Oh, and by the way, my car has the memory function, so I'm fairly certain the donor switch needs to have it as well... thanks again!

I don't get in the regional forum as much as I should. Do you still need to borrow a switch?

Have you taken your door panel off and just for sh*ts and giggles... give the window motor a tap with a hammer??? The motor itself.. and not a heavy whack, but just hard enough to give it a jolt?? Don't want to break the window.

I know it sounds crazy, but this has worked for many a power windows that have gotten stuck.
