Driver Side Power Window
My drivers side window has all of a sudden had a mind of its own. It will roll up sometimes. It will roll down sometimes. Sometimes it will stop rolling up or down and after I drive for a bit or turn the car on or off it will then roll up and down partially again. Sometimes it seems slow and sometimes it is normal. But rarely can I get it to roll completly up or down. Has anyone ever had this happen to them before and have any insight for me ? Is it a motor issue or could it possibly be in addition to a grounding issue that I am having with my drivers side parking light and passenger rear brake/running lights ?

No it dont roll up and down by itself. What I am trying to say is that when I press down 2 roll the window down it will go down a couple of inches then stop and wont go up or down until after a lil while of driving or sitting then it will move a few more inches when I press the button. Sometimes I will get lucky and it will completly roll down or up while I am holding the the switch down or up. Its crazy I read in another thread that it could be the motor or the switch. I just dont want to go tearn into nething I dont have to. It is jus that I am having a electrical nightmare lately with this car. The parking lights are acting up the rear running lights are acting up now the window is. Before that I had to replace my headlight motor and I have seen some crazy codes pop up on my Moonsoon radio screen. It looks like a bunch of Jibbirish

I retract my previous statement about the windows/BCM relationship. The BCM powers up the 'Power Windows' circuit breaker, so there is a possbility there. But since this only seems to be affecting the driver's window and sometimes it works ok, I think you have a switch problem.

I bought a new switch today and installed it. Its still acting up so that eliminates the switch problem. Thanks for the info though. It was pretty easy to install and I can return it to AutoZone. No biggie. So now i get to get into the dreaded motor replacement but first I think I am going to pull the BCM and check that out.

Will do. Not a problem. I hope it is something easy as that. Where would be a good place to pick up a solder gun ?
