Default Rear Right Window Stuck Down HELP!!!!

Yes, I know about the window lock problem, but that's not it.

Right rear window will roll down, but does nothing, motor doesn't even turn when pushing the switch up, neither from the driver's door or passenger door.

I don't have time to deal with it tonight and I'm not concerned with theories on why this might have happened, what I NEED is a way to get the window back up until I have a chance to fix it.

Anyone?

Hi.

I was wondering if you fixed your problem as I have the same issue with the passenger window, where it rolled down but cannot get it to go back up...I was curious if you figured out the problem. Thanks!

You'll have to pull the door panel and turn the motor shaft by hand. If you don't want to pull the whole panel you can get by just popping the bottom half and reaching in. Kinda hard to do that way until you know what you're doing. If the window is stuck and you can't move it by turning the motor shaft then try wiggling the window and pulling up slightly to see of that loosens it up. It's easy to get frustrated when working inside a door panel. Don't get frustrated and force things or you will brake the glass. Ask me how I know.

I ended up jumpering the connector with two wires, and crossing them - so the down button would make it roll up instead.

Now I know the motor is completely fine.

Suspecting that the driver's door wiring harness is to blame, as from what I understand, if the wiring at the master switch is bad, it WILL affect the switches on the other doors as well.
