yeah, i am new to this forum, im just a high school kid who worked hard and finally saved up some cash to buy a decent car. i got the s14 2 days ago and i found out there is a minor problem with the car. when i start the car, the left window ( driver side window) automatically scrolls down, and i dont even know what is wrong with it. i didnt touch any button or anything before i start the car. how do i fix the problem, please help me, i really know nothing about machenic stuff. and here is the picture of the car i just got

i would imagine someone is going to say check wiring/ fuses, but honestly i have no idea

i just wanted to post cuz you've been the first n00b who doesnt seem like an irresponsible rice bag. but my typical rant, keep the car nice man...don't total it.

car off: pull the door switch at the passenger side first. if it keeps rolling down, car off: plug back in the plug for the window on the passenger side. Then go to the drivers side and pull the plug there for the window control.car on: does it keep rolling down or has it gone away this time?

Depending on which window switch is the culprit (which I'm pretty sure it is) that's the one to replace. If it's not either of em, then post back and from there we'll work it out.

did you mean car off, car on, car off, car on?

i would have thought to pull the driver's side first since I believe that is the only switch you can control the driver's side window with. Plus, it's the only side with the automatic rolldown feature (atleast on a 97 SE).
