Driver side window of s14 not working

[Cgeigert]

The driver side window of my s14 has not worked since I got it. When I push the button it sounds like a relay flipping, but nothing happens. Would that mean it's the motor or could it still be the switch?

Sound like the motor. best thing to do is remove the panel and unplug the connector to the motor and see if you get power to the plug when you push the switch.

This past summer I repaired my driver's side window motor by replacing the brushing inside powerwindow motor. Off-the-grid and not by any book....but it's still working! You may as well try it since your motor's not working anyway and a new costs about $150 or $75 used. Pull the door panel and connections, (w/window in up positon) unbolt the motor, unbolt the two lower window tracks (brace the heavy window w/a block of wood or have someone hold it), lower the window down, take out the motor (not the positon of the mechanism teeth etc so you can put it back the same way), uncover the top of the motor, pull out the center gear/shaft, replace the brushess (they're very soft material and i found some laying around and just ground 'em down to fit $0 cost!), put it back together (but plug the connectors in and test it first to see if you've fixed it) in reverse. Good luck. Paul

....you'll have to remove the entire window tracking mechanism, and my previous post should read: out the motor (NOTE the positon of the mechanism teeth etc
