windows wont work

I can't get neither driver side or passenger side windows to go down. Neither switch works. Already checked the fuse so would it be the driver side switch went bad or is it some relay im not seeing??

Make sure the switch to disable the window isn't set to On or Off? Could be the contacts for the switch has built up too much oxidation as well.

Does the passenger side window open from the passenger side switch or are you speaking of just trying to open the windows from the driver side?

The stock driver side window switch is notorious for poor design, over time they go bad due to build up on contact points or being worn out. If you plan on taking the switch apart to clean it be careful as it is very easy to lose parts as well as breaking them.

It is also possible that the connector to the wiring harness going into the door has come loose. Happens to me from time to time and I have to push it back in.

Check out CPU #2 under the dash. When I first got my car, both the windows refused to move no matter what I tried. I cleaned the window switch contacts (very fiddly) and played with everything.

In the end it was CPU #2 faulty. Once I swapped it out for another, everything magically worked.

I had the same problem last year. I followed the wire diagram and found out that the only ground for the windows runs through the passenger side door switch, the on and off lock . I took the switch apart and soldered it to bypass it and it's worked perfectly since.

did you check the plastics inside? they break easily , you may feel some resistance but it may not be bending enough because the plastics bend when its suppose to be straight
