Default Window HELP

so my drivers side window is not working at all, all the others are working. I disconnected then reconnected the battery and connected all the windows back in via the process of holding the buttons down. all work, but not the drivers window. the green light is flashing. I have taken the door panel off and have checked continuity back to the master switch. all check out.

what does the blinking green light mean?, is there an easy way to test the motor? which colors to energize down and ground? can I ohm out the motor to check it using the multi prong that plugs into the door (not the master switch.

thanks, I do have 12v volts going into the multi prong connection on the door, I guess I could just take off the metal panels and do it?

I don't know what your issue is, but is it up or down currently? I ask that in case its outside and near rain. Might not want to try this.
My thought to possibly rule out a window motor/actuator and isolate it being a switch issue, is to use your key and see if they all go down using the key. I think you turn it to the right if I recall and all the windows will go down. Not sure if they will go up and if it's a switch issue might not be able to get it back up, so like I mentioned if its outside and doesn't need to get wet, then might not want to go there.

Otherwise, I'm sure there are some helpful folks here that might know how to assist. Good luck.


update. I just went outside and tried mine. Turn to the right all windows go down until you stop turning, key must be held to the right and for maybe 3-5 seconds then they will start going down. Then I turned the key to the left and they all went back up the same.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you get it sorted out. I found in the manual that that feature can be disabled. Possibly yours was disabled or maybe another year model that was not available or something,
