So I did a search and I've talked to a few people and no one has any idea wsup with my windows. Anyway 2 days ago, I was driving with my windows down and all of a sudden they wouldn't go back up. I got a bit worried considering I didn't want to be stuck in a public place w/ my windows open so I went home and upon going home I opened my passenger side door and low and behold...the windows worked again! but once I closed the passenger side door, the windows would just stop working all together.

I'm SOOOO confused...haha, I feel like my car is haunted. I picked it up a few months ago with an after-market alarm with clutch bypass and autostart already installed, so I figured that MIGHT be the reasoning behind it, but I took it to audio shop today and they told me that its the car itself, not the alarm...so now I'm really confused. I'm taking it into my mechanic to have it diagnosed tomorrow, but until then, any help or advice would be awesome

I've never encountered this before, so in order for me to open or close my windows i have to crack open the passenger side door, its not too bad but pretty inconvenient to say the least, help a confused brotha out

broken wire where they come out of the door and into the cab......I have the same problem, just to lazy to fix it.

got it fixed, the problem was what I expected, there was a short in the ground wire between the door and body of the car.

ground wires don't short.........glad you got it fixed.

If you mean the actually motor then that could be true because it was kind of slow. but on the other hand i got another one from the junk yard and the motor doesn't even move it just does the same thing. so any other ideas anyone?

*shrugs* when it comes to wires I'm a complete noob. Give me a ratchet and I can go to town, but give me a soldering Iron and I'm F'd!

Yea I'm really happy it all worked out

+1. It is in the rubber grommet in the driver door (your most used). You can jump the window switch to put them back up.

at least its not the driver side!

BTW what exactly was the problem? Was it something to do with the alarm?

naw, it was the ground wire. I was able to enjoy my windows for 3 days before the passenger side decided to die on me today lol. I'm going to fix it this week

make sure you lube your guides for the window, common problem when they get dirty it over works your regulator causing it to slow down
