Default oh no, another window problem

okay, so i've been searching. can't find anything similar to mine. so my problem is that my master switch works fine and all, the only problem the master switch has is that it won't roll the front driver side up or down. but the master switch works for all the other windows. all my other three switches work perfectly fine, so i wanna know could this be my master switch? thanks a lot in advance

P.S. i already post up in hawaii section to see if anybody are willing to let me borrow their switch for like a minute, but no one reply me, oh well. i'm ordering a master switch from ebay for like hopefully less than 10 bucks. but any input would be nice

Seems like you have a bad relay in the driver window switch..90-94 master switches are plentiful on ebay but 10.00 seems a bit optimistic..

hey thanks a lot bradster, i neve knew that the replay is inside the switch. so i assume you do mean that the replay is inside the switch? and i also assume that you mean $10 is a good deal.

I'm far from an expert and i might be wrong about the terminology (relay) but the problem exists only with that one switch and the easiest (and cheapest) way to resolve the problem is to replace the entire assembly.

Window motor gone bad on the driver side. First establish if there is any power going to the motor itself at all. If there is, then the motor has gone bad. If there IS NOT, then you are gonna have to work your way backwards to find out where the short in the wiring is.
