Bad window switch or regulator?

[K7Gixxer750]

How can i tell if the window switch is bad or if its something else? My drivers window wont go down but all the other windows go up and down fine. Anyway to be sure before i go and spend money?

Remove the window door switch and jump the wires to make it go up, or down.

You can also remove the door panel, and tap the motor to try and get it to go up one more time. I strongly feel it is the motor...

Yeah, or unplug the motor, itself and operate the switch with a test light hooked to the pig tail you unplugged. One side will light up for up and the other will light up for down.

How do i jump the wires?

Everytime my regulators went to poo, the window would slide down in the door. I have replaced 3 out of 4 on my car.

My window is UP, the three other windows work just fine, when i hold the drivers window switch down itll click click click till i let it go. Does this say anything?

if it clicks and clicks that sounds like the regulator or maybe the motor. idk that is my opinion. I think if it were the switch it would not make a noise at all

yea, i agree a bad switch wouldnt be sending power.

Contact morad and get a used regulator for $50 bucks shipped.

is a regulator the same thing as a motor?

I'm having the same problem. My rear passenger window doesn't go up or down. It doesn't make a click noise when operated from the driver or rear passenger control. No noise comes from this window. What could it be? The motor also? Oh x2 is the motor the same as a regulator?

The motor is the electric motor. It's the component with the wire harness plugging into it. The regulator is the mechanical portion of it. It is the "track" for the slide mechanism. They are different items
