Default window not working

i noticed that my rear passenger window does not go up or down. i dont think it is the fuses because arent the windows all connected to one fuse. all the other windows work fine. and the window doesnt even make a sound when you try lowering it. any ideas?

You can always check the voltage at the switch with a volt meter. If you have power then it could be the motor.

Def. sounds like a bad motor if both switches do nothing. I'd check for power at the motor when the switch is activated. Or try jumping power directly to the motor to see if it moves the window.

I had that happen, it was the motor which required replacement. By chance is your vehicle black. I ask because I have a theory that black cars heat up in the sun and the heat causes these motors to burn out.

It is only a theory, but it would be interesting if your vehicle is black.

I'm suspecting the motor went south. BOP might as well be black along with BCP. They are all too freakin dark.
