acklac7 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Passenger side window was frozen when I bought the car. Just took out the motor/regulator and the motor works fine. Hooked it up to the passenger side and tried to use the (passenger side) switch and nothing...Well you can hear something engaging but the motor doesn't spin. Tried the drivers side switch and it goes UP no-problem, however it will not go down. Where to start? If the passenger side switch was bad would it interfere with the drivers side switch? If so can I just by-pass that switch somehow? And any ideas on testing the switch with a voltmeter? Still kicking myself for not taking (Automotive) Electrical last quarter...

Rocky31186 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Any info on the car would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acklac7 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Sorry 92 lexus SC300. Seems like the master (drivers) switch is wired through the passenger switch. If so shouldn't I be able to by-pass it (pass. switch) and run the wiring from the drivers side straight to the motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acklac7 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Dissembled both driver and passenger switches, found the "reverse" contacts (on both sides strangely enough) black/burnt. Touched them up with a dremel sanding bit, put back together and both sides work like a charm. Funny the lexus forums said this couldn't be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
