Default Sub installed now window wont work, QUESTIONS help!

So yesterday I installed 1 JL sub and an alpine amp, I have the stock HU for now so i just used a line out converter. I took the signal for the LOC from the rear driver side door. however when I got it put back together my window wont work... The switch on the driver door works but not the switch on the door its on. Any ideas why? Everything is plugged in so I don't know why it's not working, it seems like the actual switch stopped working which seems very unlikely.
I thought it might be a fuse but i wouldn't think that all the others would still work, besides the window still goes up and down, so I'm confused....

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

turn it up really really loud then you won't have to worry about your windows, they won't exist! lol

have you tried rolling up the window on the door its self? If you unplugged the battery you need to re initialize the window for it to work from the drivers door.

Yeah, thats the problem the window wont go up or down from the door itself, it does work from the driver switch, and i never unplugged the battery...

So... Do you think If I bring it into a toyota service place they will fix it under warranty? or becuase I've done stuff around there they'll say i messed it up, which i don't see how i could have done anything to mess it up since i never even touched the window electrical stuff.

the tc had a similar trick when you have the battery disconnected for a long time. I believe you had to bring the other window down all the way, then up all the way. or something like that.... someone please correct me if i'm wrong (haven't had the tc for over a yr)

you may not have unplugged the battery, but if you were messing with the wiring, itstill may have reset it. roll it up with whatever switch works, then go to the door with the non working window and hold the switch in the up position for like five seconds. see if that helps

uh-oh spaghetti-o

sounds like something is just messed up from the wiring with whatever you did with the LOC.

re-check maybe? I dunno. I know that wasn't helpful

It sounds like thats what it would be but I double checked, all i did was unplug the connector thing (don't know what thats called) behind the B pillar, splice the speaker cords and plug it back in.

The good news is that my sub and amp are all working nicely! :D
I just wish i could say the same about my window...

i'd check inside the cannon plug to see if you bent or dinked any of the pins.

YAY! I found the problem, which kind of makes me feels stupid because I should have looked there right off the bat, but it was a fuse.

My brother didn't think it was a fuse since it still worked from the driver door and all the other windows worked fine he didn't think that each window would have it's own fuse. So I got a power tester out and tracked the problem all the way back until I got to the fuse so WHALA! IT was the fuse.

So everything is working great! and I got my car all put back together

i just wanted to post in this so everyone knows the xD does not have the same window system as the tC, you dont have to reset the windows on the xD, or any other scion for that matter. i think the tC is the only one with the freak windows.
