i know when my driver side window wasnt working, i could hear it making a click inside my door panel when i tried to use it. so i took off the door panel and there is a box little electrical box that a wire harness clip from the power windows control goes into. i took that out and went to the junk yard, found some old random nissan car with power windows, ripped off the door panel and it was the same part number, put it in and it worked likea champ. only cost a couple bucks too. then again it might also be the motor. as for the guy with both not working( im assuming since u pluralized "windows not working") it is probably fuse or something. check all the connections. maybe somethin just came unplugged.

yea both windows are not working. not making any noise when i try to make them work. checked the wires. scraped the metal connectors in the plugs with small flat head screw driver.. didnt helped. i got a new fuse. same thing nothing.

really weird. pisses me off also because its hot as hell in the car.

I had the same problem, but it turned out to be loose connector behind the door panel. If you don’t have any clicking then that would mean that the amps not working, but for both to crap out (at the same time??) something else is going on. Maybe it’s the switch assemble itself. Get you multi meter out and start checking the wiring . Sorry.

i had the same problem with my passenger side mirror. all i did was figure out which wires went to what( for up and down) attach the wires directly to the motor wires and add a gbround switch. they work perfectly now. i kno its not the right way to do it but hey itll work till i can get out and get a new switch

i checked it today and its not getting ground at the fuse. there is gotta be a shortage somewhere at the motor.

my money is on the amp or the master switch (the driver's side one)

I'm pretty sure you won't get ground on the fuses..
