: Help!!! I checked the fuse, replaced the window switch and I still cannot get the passenger side window to roll down or up. The other 3 windoews work fine. What should I check for next. Please e-mail to me as soon as possible.

I had the same problem with my driver's side window motor on my 89 325iS. Check the little section of wires that run between the door and the frame of thecar (the little rubber boot). Push on it and wigle it around firmly while tapping on the window switch. Do this only of course if you have already hot-wired the window motor to make sure it still works. If you need any additional help or pictures, let me know and I will take some pics of my car with what I did so that you can see exactly how I got mine working again (ocasionally fowls up, but just open the door and push on the frame plug again and all is good). It's not a ground out, just the wires were loose in the plug...going to figure out a way to reseat them.

Hope this helps,
Thomas Goodwin
