Default window problems

I forgot to ask this question a long time ago haha. My passenger side window goes down but it doesn't go up. I had to hook the window motor up to a battery charger in order to put the window up. Then I unhooked power to the motor so none of my friends try to roll down the window. (they have tried hundreds of times over the past 6 or 7 months). This happened a few days after I got my truck back from the body shop when I got t boned in the drivers side. Any suggestions?

My truck in it's saddest state. The Jetta that hit me was completely totalled. Serves her right for running a red light.


Knocked the tire off the rim on the other side of the truck.

Bad switch? The motor is obviously good if the window goes up with the charger. If you have a test light or a multimeter I'd try testing the switch.

but both switches??? that would be weird if the up-side of both drivers and pass door switches went at the same time. I would look more towards the wiring at the window motor. body shops are bad about Making broken stuff work for a little while and then it's your prob to deal with. You might try the stuff in the drivers door since that's the last place it was messed with.
