Power windows not working properly

Okay, so just to put this a different way, all the windows work from their own switch except for the driver front? Also, the driver front does not work on the passenger window?

If this is the case we need to find if it is the switch or the door module. Do you have a scan tool that can see switch inputs in the driver door module? If so, press the window button and see if the door module sees it. If not, we need a switch. If it does the door module is the issue.

If you don't have a scan tool that can do that, we need to check voltage at the door module. However, you need to go to the output of the door module because the switch input is a bus input and you will not get signal voltage to tell you if it is working.

So go to the orange black wire and check voltage and then press the down button on the driver window. Do you have voltage?

The other way is to start with replacing the switch and if that doesn't work, replace the door module.

Let me know if this makes sense.

Sounds good. I attached the info. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks

Naser,

The orange and black wire sends power to the motor to lower it. The polarity is reversed when you take it up. The orange/light green wire should have power at that point. If you have power to the orange/black and it won't go down, I suspect something has jammed the motor from operating. See pic 1.

The idea that you get power at the orange/light green wire when you are in the down position is simply the power returning to ground a different direction. I suspect you will find the same if you try the opposite.

Remove the regulator and motor assembly and inspect it to see if there is something preventing it from moving.

Let us know what you find.

That clicking noise sounds just like a HVAC door actuator. I have heard that many times and in fact, I just replaced one on my sister in laws 2011 WK (just like this Jeep) and it was clicking like that right out of the box.

As for the window, just to confirm take a look at the diagram. If this is what you have for voltage then that is correct. You should only have voltage on one of those wires when you are pressing up or down.

Can you get a video of the window and what it is doing? You replaced motor and they are both doing the same thing, correct? Then where are you taking that voltage reading? Can you get a picture of the location of where you are getting it?

Sorry. No, there should be one of each color. The set of two wires of each color are showing for right hand drive vehicle and Left hand drive vehicle. Sometimes they are different. The RHD and LHD are what show this on the diagram. You want the wires for the LHD vehicle.

So you want to go to the motor and check power on the orange/black wire when you are pressing the down button. We need to make sure we have it at the motor. If you are checking it at the door module which I pictured from your video, then we may not be getting the voltage to the motor.

The DM FL stands for Door Module Front Left.

Great. Thanks. Talk to you tomorrow.

You have voltage on the orange light green when pressing up and down?

Let's forget everything except the door module. That is what is sending power to the motor. If I understand, the first module does not move either front window? The replacement module moves the passenger window properly but only up on the driver side?

If this is the case, then yes. I suspect the door module is shorted. You should only have voltage on one of those wires at a time when pressing up or down.

The black orange wire is the return (ground) wire for both circuits so you press the switch and it sends power to one side of the motor and returns to the module through the ground.

However, if you have power on the orange black (down) wire like you should when you press the down button, you should have nothing on the orange light green wire. However, you have power on that wire as well. So you have power on both sides of the motor when pressing the down button so it does nothing.

I would get another module.

You are welcome. Thanks for your continued use of 2CarPros. Let us know how it turns out.
