Urgent: all power widows but driver front stopped working


Recommended Posts

main ground lead to the master switch panel is broken in the door, the driver window motor is using the other window's motor as the ground

 

check in the grommet at the inside of the door where the wire bundle crosses through it

I have seen this three other times, you CAN make a ground lead to bypass the fault until you can do a more permanent repair

I've "fixed" master switches in the past. If you can disassemble it, you'll find that the contacts get grubby. Use a pencil eraser to clean them and you should be good to go.. have a safe trip!

 

I used this method on mine. Like the original poster, I only had the drivers window. After pulling it apart, all of of the rockers and very small contacts on the bottom of the switch body had moved around. A few careful minutes later, all was good except for the up on the passenger rear.
