pass side Power window no work

[kedf1]

Hi,

so, passenger side power window is not working. drivers side works perfectly

window regulator is new and is ok, disconnected window motor and no go, plug in a few from the junk yard and all no go.

replaced center conosle power window switch for pass side.

check for "hot" with my test light and i get power at the plug when select up or down on the switch, checked the ground through plug (brown wire) and it works.

i do not have hot on large wire red/grey

any ideas on where else to check?

thanks

Check the electric connector in the A - pillar for corrosion. You have to open him with a torx key.

wow, how do you guys find these threads, i search and find nothing!

So we have narrowed it down to that connector, i've got power on th car side, no power on the door side.

any idea what size of torx? i dont seem to have anything that is fitting nicely and it is hard to see exactly what i'm dealing with

Update,

So i pulled the door of the hinges so i could get a better look at the screw, the reason why i don't have a torx that fits nicely is that i have discovered yet another thing the guys who installed the alarm and stereo for the previous owner had screwed up by stripping the screw.

update again,

i drilled out the stripped torx, it wasn't going to come out anyway it was coorroded so badly

corrosion on connector is present, but that is not the cause of problem, the friggin alarm/stereo jack%#$$es cut the frieaking red/grey and did a terrible job splicinng it back together and it came apart and when they put the connector back on they mangled all the seals.

word of caution to the peeps, choose your alarm/stereo installers wisely!

i'm going to dig through the reciepts for the car and when i foind out who installed the alarm and stereo i'll post it here

LOL. I agree, they shouldn't have done it. what a terrible location for stereo wire to be sliced.

Pobably it was done by some swapmeet place, Im thinking.

Be sure to apply some electric grease to prevent + a thin bid of silcone caulking along the seam,,,

Sometimes doing a search doesn't yield any results. However, if you remember the names of any posters who have contributed to a particular thread, it's easy to do a search by going to "advanced search" and entering the username in the search box on the right side.

Good to see you are getting to the root of the problem.
