If you pull the drivers door panel off you can check for power at the power harness connected to the window motor. No power..good chance it's a bad switch cotact. If there's power, it's most likely the window motor. If you don't want to pull the door panel, just pop off your PW switch assy from the center console. Then swap the wires on the drivers side, with the ones on the passenger side (write down where the wires go before you pull them off). If the window works when connected to the passenger side switch, then the switch is the definate problem. Hopefully you can just clean the contacts..but the switch isn't that much either..$75 for the entire center console assy, I believe.

My driver's side window has gotten moody in the last few days. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt, while all the other windows are working properly. Any idea what might cause it and how i might be able to fix it at home??
Thanks
