Question: Driver Power window / all power door locks stopped working
Question
For no apparent reason, my drivers side power window and all my power door locks stopped working. All fuses are good, switches show continuity. I can operate all the other power windows (4 Dr.) from the drivers console. Any ideas?

Rookieif you disconnect your battery and the windows work that is great. also check the recall for the switch that operates the brakes. Somehow the wiring affects the windows if memory serves.

Visitor, November 30, 2010, 14:31ReplyI have found through much research that this is a very common problem. My brothers 2006 Canyon pickup that I was borrowing had the problem of the drivers side door window and lock not working. We brought the truck into the mechanic up the street. He removed the interior door panel to find a loose connection.
Resecured wires from motor to switch; door window works again.

Visitor, December 18, 2010, 18:04ReplyIn cold time, every year since 2004, power doors and power windows does not working since hot temperature comes. Dealer tried to found but never resolved problems. In 2008, I changed battery and everything comes ok. The module is deprogram because of voltage to low from battery. Normaly it's 12.6 volts DC. This winter, same problems. I mesured voltage just before starting motor : 11.2 volts. It was tuff to start. Someting consume current to discharge battery even if trucks not running. Alternator works normally and voltage return to normal when it stop running. Today, I tried to found the source of consuming current. Before doing anything, I mesure 0.8 A. It's like a 8 watt light always on. One to other one, I removed fuses until current drop significaly. Fuse number 32, radio. I don't know what on this fuse with radio. I command all electrical wiring to troobleshoot.

Mine stopped working for fourdays now. Before taking the door panel off, I did what other sites said and disconect the battery for an hour. For giggles I put a charger on it. Not sure if that did anything, but all works again.Flag ThisLike0 -
