Default '03 ES300 - rear driver's side window won't go down - thoughts?

Hey guys,

My 2003 ES 300's rear driver-side window won't roll down. I knew this when buying it, and it's not an urgent deal. But I'd like to get it fixed some day.

Any idea what it is? Just a bad motor? A fuse or relay? If it helps, the window does "click" when pressing the window down button either from the driver's seat (or on the back door itself), but nothing happens.

Anyone else had this problem?

Your in luck, it's just another TSB: http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums...howtopic=50832

I have the same issue except with the rear passenger side window. I haven't done the procedure from the link above because I don't plan on ever using that window anyways. I will eventually follow the TSB though. Funny part is I got $500 off the purchase price because of the window not working... Suckers.

Get in the car with it on. Hold down the button on the door, while it's open, then firmly close it shut.

Very common problem.
