Passenger side window won't roll down
I'm not getting power to the motor that operates the window! It's not the switch or any of the connections in the door itself. I did the test with a 12volt battery, and when the motor or switch is supplied with power, it works great.
Has this happened to anyone here? Where is the most likely place to find the problem? Thanks in advance, D

That's not the problem. The driver side won't roll it either(even with the switch ON. I was messing with it last weekend and for a moment it would work. When it did work it was very slow, but when I put the 12 volts directly to the motor or to the swich, it would work better. It's not getting enough power, or getting any. Any other ideas?

Check the wiring in both switches. If the driver's side switch is bad, then neither side will work for the passenger window. The passenger window switch is dependent upon the driver's side. In other words, if you unplug the driver's side switch, then the passenger side switch will not work.
Sounds like it is a problem with the driver's side switch. If the button on the driver's side is in the "On" position, both sides should control it. However, if the button is in the "Off" position, neither side will control it.

I'm not good with electrical problems, but I remembered seeing this.
Just in case it might help.
Good luck.

Yes, the switch is "on" I've tried everything. For that moment that it did work, both switches(driver side and Passengerside) would work the exact same. But it was very slow!
I'm sure there is a lack of power getting to the motor that moves the window. I just need to know where to look. Thanks guys for all your help

i have a similar problem with my uk car..i changed the drivers door after an accident and ever since, my passenger window winds down from the passenger side switch only and will not wind up on either switch.. it turned out to be a loose connection where the drivers side wiring plugs into the chassis. So whenever someone in the car winds the passenger window down, i have to stop the car,open the drivers door fully open and push the door to chassis connection right in whilst pressing the window up button..pita
1 thing you could try..get a mate to help you. Take the drivers door off (easy) unplug the connection and see if any of the copper connections are dirty, spray with wd40 if need be, make sure the male and female connections click together firmly, then repeat on passenger side..hope this helps..be carefull not to break the clip like i did!
