Default My driver side window won't roll up (thanks in advance for help)

I was driving to work and i hit the switch on my driver side window to roll down. It automatically went all the way down, and when i tried to hit the switch it didn't roll up anymore.

I looked at the fuse box but i can't figure out which fuse is for the driver side window.

Anybody else had this problem or know how to resolve this kind of thing?

And which fuse is the drivers side window in the fuse box?

Thanks so much.

What year is yours? I had a similar issue on the rear passenger window of my '03. Someone recommended that I hold the switch up/down and while doing so close the door. It took a few tries but it worked.

Default Driverside Window is stuck open and it is raining out side... Help!

I am having a similar problem.

Here is the sequence of events when I trigger the window switch
1. The motor can be heard engaging.
2. The window goes up 1/4 of an inch.
3. The window stops going up and returns to the bottom of the track.

Any Ideas?

The fact that it goes up part way and than reverses directions and goes back down, indicates that its running agains some substantial resistance on its way up.

Try the following:

a) Help the window move up by grabbing it and pushing it upwards while you activate the switch. Do this a couple of times and see if that helps

b) Clean the window, and than lubricate the tracks with some silicone spray, and repeat step a above several times.

if the above steps don't resolve the problem than you will have to remove the door panel to get a visual as to whats going on internally.

if it still moves, it's not the fuse
the window fuse also controls the power seats and sunroof if u have one.
the fuse is inside the dash underneath the steering wheel and it rarely blows unless u have water damage causing shorts.

it is most likely the regulator or the master window switch. try taking the door panel off and power up the window regulator with a car battery or any 12v source. if the motor works fine up and down, then it must be the master switch.
