Default 997 drivers window switch not working - window stuck 1/4 from up

Hello!

Need some help. I searched the forums about microswitches however none of the problems were the exact same as what is happening here with mine.

the drivers side window interior switches to not operate either window currently. When using the passenger switch, it raises and lowers the passenger window.

In addition to the driver's side window rocker switches not working for either window, the drivers window does not go up and down and it is stuck in the 1/4" from the top position. It does not move at all when the door is opened or closed.

Any assistance would be much appreciated!!

Thanks!!
Brian

Could it be that it simply needs to be reset? Instructions in the Owners Manual.

Has that part of the car ever been disassembled?

Have you considered checking the power window fuse(s)?

Once you get power back to the switches you may need to 'retrain' the windows.

Thanks so much! I have additional info. I now have discovered none of the buttons on that door work. the power mirrors do not work, the power seat does not work.

i had tried to disconnect the battery cable to try to reset. the window ended up going down another inch or more on its own but cannot be controlled by the switches. I think it tried to roll down again when opening the door. now does not move.

all the connections are connected but I will have to open it up again and triple check everything and look at everything closely.

does the control module control everything on that door?

Thanks!

How about your fuses? Have you checked any of them yet?

Don't forget to clean between the glass and the rubber gasket. There might be so much sticky friction there from dirt and microfine tree sap that the motor shuts itself down so it doesn't burn itself out.

Glad to hear you're running again! Where is that connector?
