Check for a hot thermal breaker under the back seat.

if thats the huge fuse lookin thing i already checked it, its good. my dad says if the driver side switch goes out it will cause the pasenger side switch to not work? summer weather is coming and im not the A/C type person. so this needs to be fixed asap.

Might be a break in the power wires in the driver side door jamb.

ok so iv tested power goin to the window motors. there is power!!! exept when i hit the button goin down, after more and more testin for about, an hour, iv come to a conclusion that its the modular power window controler. when i try rolling window down and this unit makes a single "tick" noise, the light on the tester ( had it touching the blue wire to the window motor, it does the same with the brown wire if im recalling right ) barley even lights up then it makes another tick then light goes away, this happens within half a second. anyone ever had to replace this? damn electrical stuff dont want to buy it then not be the problem and cant return the part bs . the part number is 25614182. does any one know if the driver side modular goes out it will cause the passenger side not to work as well? and i also broke 2 of the 3 clip things that hold the bottom half of the door panel on, the plastic is all dry roted and very weak.

Corey,
Did you look at the wire bundles in the rubber sleeve between the door and body as Albert suggested? Wire breaks are VERY COMMON there.

As for those plastic hooks at door bottom, you can fabricate replacements out of sheet aluminum or sheet steel, make backing plates out of the same stuff, and epoxy and poprivet them into place.

if the wires were broke power wouldnt get to the motor would it? and if its a ground wire broken what color would it be? im not very good at the electrical stuff, everyone iv talked to says it makes since that the modular is broken, but i do see what you guys are sayin, i have pulled the rubber over a lil and peaked in the cables looked like there in tacked but they can still be broke on the inside. on the modular system there is 4 metal tabs the plug into the wire, one is always hot, the second one is for the driver side down switch, the 3rd one is for driver side up, and the forth one is for passenger window switch up and down.

An intermittent short in the cables could fry the module.

So be sure to check the wiring before you replace the module.
