    Yes, plenty of good thread on this. It is generally a mix of poor electrical ground and the grease getting old in the electric motor block.

    Do you mean: 1) the window motor tries to engage but just stalls and doesn't have enough ooomph (i.e., you can "help" the window glass go up by hand), or 2) absolutely nothing (and adding help up doesn't help)?

    The fact that it goes down is a good sign for the motor itself, and, if #2, I'd start with the window switches before getting into the door.

    Yes Will get a look at that,

    the motor gets no signal to the motor so It's not the motor I suspect as you do…will look at switch first and perhaps reverse drivers and passengers side switches as a check

    thanks!

    Both my switches had a film of dried grease on the contact points. Cleaned them up, regreased and good as new. But yea I thought I had a dead window motor. Same switches as the 348 but the picture is different and a lot cheaper. Pop the cap off of the TR switch and snap it on to the new 348 switch.
