Window stopped working

Post by supadupa64 » Mon Oct 18, 2021 1:43 pm

Today my driver side window stopped working. I can't roll it down... I didn't see a fuse for this.

Any ideas?

Could be a toasted window module, window motor or general module. The power windows don’t have separate fuses but receive power via the general module. GM is protected by fuses F10, F11, F12, F26 and F46 if you want to check the easy solutions first. There seems to be slight variations in the schematics over different MYs. If the fuses are ok, I’d get hold of ISTA or INPA (or a fellow forum member with one :) ), read the error codes and narrow down the diagnosis by trying to actuate the window via the sw.

Does it make any noise at all when button pressed, if you hear a grating sound it the window regulator, common fault

There's no sound.

BUT... It started working again later today! Now I'm scared that if I roll it down it won't go back up. =O
