All the other power options including the driver's side window work. I took the door panel off and made sure that all the wiring harnesses were connected properly and tightly, and it makes a faint clicking noise when your press for the window to go down, but no movement at all. Any suggestions? And there's insulation underneath the door panel and I dont think it will go back on if I take it off, so I haven't tested the window's motor. I'm hoping it wont come to that. Thanks in advance for any help. -Spencer Aiwa flip down head unit Pioneer 6x8 3-ways all around Two Polk/Momo 10" subs pushed by a bazooka amp Custom grille Silverstar high/low beams Autolite 8mm plug wires

Like I said, I was hoping it couldn't come to taking off that insulation, but it's worth it for the window to roll down. Thanks again for sharing the experience and advice! I knew it couldn't be something cheap to fix, it never is! -Spencer Aiwa flip down head unit Pioneer 6x8 3-ways all around Two Polk/Momo 10" subs pushed by a bazooka amp Custom grille Silverstar high/low beams Autolite 8mm plug wires
