Check for a bad switch. The terminals on the motor are both hot. One gets power when you push the window button up and the other gets power when you push the button down. Use a 12 volt DC test light or volt meter and see if you have power at the terminals when you push the button in both directions. Ground your light or meter to the chassis for testing. If you don't have power unplug the switch and see if you have power at one of the connections. If so, switch is bad. If not check for a broken wire in the doorjamb. Peel back the rubber tube in the doorjamb and inspect the wires. Hope that helps! Jim
