Rear driver window motor

Mine goes down but not up...
I'm not sure what you guys do with your old, banged up doors, but if anyone has an extra, I'd like to buy a used one.

Thanks!

I have this same issue with my rear passenger window. Turns out it is the rear window switch, it rolls it down but not up. My front window switch works fine on the window but the rear switch will only go down. Before you go out and buy a new motor try cleaning the switch or taking an old 12V battery and hooking it up directly to the door. to test it.

One other thing that can happen is a wire can break inside the little loom between the door and the pillar. Because the wires flex back and forth inside there when the door opens and shuts they can break and its not always obvious because sometimes the outer wire insulation is intact but the wire is broken inside. You can uncover those wires and pull them from each end and if a wire is broken inside it will stretch. Or just test for continuity from each end. It only takes one break and you can get whats happening to you. Pretty sure your motor will be fine.

In my case, both the front and rear switches act the same (rolls the window down, not up.) I don't think it's the switches.

I've removed the motor and plugged it in on the other side and the issue does NOT follow the motor, so I think you may be onto something with the wiring. Thanks hydro!
