My window has been stuck closed for over a year. I didn't even care that much but somehow, someone got it rolled down and now it's stuck open.
open.

I tried the splicing wire trick under the drivers side foot panel. I replaced the driver's side switch, and I just tried a new motor/regulator.

I don't see any broken or frayed wires anywhere, and the fuses look good.

Maybe a stupid question, but have you used a multimeter to see if you have power at the wires?

 

Also, I should have looked more closely at the picture, but the switch in the picture is the driver's door, and you said "passenger" window wouldn't close.
Did you also replace the switch on the passenger door, and does the window not roll up from either switch?

 

LoL, The switch is for the driver's side. I read that's the most common problem. I'll try a passenger switch I guess.

There's no power to the motor. I just hotwired the old motor to my battery and it works.

My guess is a faulty wire going from the door into the cab on the driver side

 

I was able to repair both my driver and passenger switches by removing, disassembling and soldering the connections. Now all of my window switches and windows work perfectly. Much cheaper than replacing components.

 

I bought a new switch for the driver's side, but it didn't help.

Trying the passenger tomorrow.

I hooked leads up to the window motor and got it rolled up at least.

 

Golly, I hate it when I have a dead passenger. Have you looked at the electric ground point? make sure that is clean, tight, if it doubt check it out. You can check with a volt meter across parts like the switches, fuse, ground path, etc.. but you need to make the measurement while the window is operating, i.e. under electric load. You want to measure a minimal volt drop across each component, wire, or connection when under load.

Good luck!
