Window amp in drivers door faulty

Window amp doesn't control passenger window.

The switch for the passenger window on the drivers side wasnt working, so I thought "no problem, ill get another".

I replaced it and it still doesnt work. The passenger side switch works fine. Any ideas on how to fix this?

 

You will need to trace the wiring for the passenger window. Have you got access to the FSM diagrams?

Possible connector in drivers or passenger footwell having corrosion in the connector or broken wire where it goes through rubber grommet between door and door pillar..... 20 years of flexing when doors opened and closed.....

check the connector with multimeter to see if voltage changes on up or down push of button, check voltages to the switch on drivers door.....

You can also do a continuity check between the passenger motor and the drivers side switch......

1) power on car off

2) meter set to buzzer or continuity / resistance setting.

3) one wire to one of the motor wires, other wire to drivers switch wire..... check both wires on motor to both connections to driver side switch. If they are both okay then you know the wires FROM the drivers side switch to the motor are okay. If they are okay then it is the power feeding into the switch that could be at fault.

4) If above has failed, check there is an earth and live going to the driver side switch.

Sorry if this makes no sense, I am too used to just doing it and not writing how to do it..... lol

To help you trace the fault here are the relevant pages from the '96 FSM which includes easier to read

and follow wiring diagrams. Note that this is for a LHD car, so 'RH' where used is passenger side.
