Trying to roll up window in 2002 I35

[Justjim77]

I'm going to replace the motor in the window, but while I'm waiting on the part, how can I roll it up manually?

You can take off the door panel. You can run a wire from the motor to the chassis as a ground and another from the positive battery pole to the motor and that would jump the motor with a solid 12V to take it up or down. Reverse the wires at the motor to reverse the direction. If the motor is not toast, this wiring trick will tell you that and you'll then want to look at the amplifier and switches for the source of your problems. But, if the motor is toast (and it sounds like it could be) you need to disengage the motor gear from the track, probably by unbolting the motor, then lift your window up all the way, then put the motor back into it's spot.

Just in case (I'm not making any assumptions here), but some have worried about their passenger side windows not working. They didn't realize they hit the button on the driver's side window controls to ignore inputs from the passengers window buttons.

I replaced the motor and window regulator and it still won't go up? All 3 other Windows work fine. Any suggestions what else to check?

maybe use the switch from another windor/door and put it on the window that won't go up

Just tried that. That didn't help.

After I installed the motor and assembly the window was almost half way up. I pushed down on the switch and it moved down. I press the switch down and it makes a click just as the other rolled down Windows do. When I press up it doesn't make a noise.

I don't have your FSM, but many cars have the controller circuit board in the driver's side door and all the switches talk to that controller and it tells all the motors what to do. Sometimes it's under the dash. Since you've already replaced your motor and swapped switches, maybe you should look at that circuit next. For my car, it was inside a plastic box that I had to pry open. Inside I could visibly see a part of the board where I needed to fix the solder. Perhaps a look into yours will shed some light.
