did you check the under the hood fuese? can't remember right off if there is a fuse in there for the windows. i highly doubt all window motors are bad. are you using the master switch or have you tried each individual window? do the lights light up on the switches?

All the power windows get their power feed thru the drivers side power window cluster. It's circuit breaker #1 that provides the power to the entire power window circuit. If you've moved CB#1 and it works in another circuit..then I'd say it's the drivers window cluster that has a problem. That's assuming none of the other windows works with any of the other window switches. The lights in all the window switches get power from the same CB#1.

did you spill any water or liquid onto the master switch recently? you could have a bad switch, bad wire, bad ground. try removing and spraying some electric contact cleaner in the switches themselves and where they connect to the door harness. good luck and post back your findings...

Driver side window does not work. All windows work properly with the master switch and each other individual window. I pulled off the door panel and nothing seems to be obstucting the window. Is there any other solution other than replacing the motor? How hard is it and how $$$ is it replace the motor for the driver window?

I changed the window regulator which included the drive motor in the assembly, was very easy. Verify that the drive motor voltage is present at the motor before ordering the part. The wire connector to the motor has a slide lock tab that needs to be moved. This to allow the connector to separate. Also, loosen the screws, they are in slots, that hold the regulator to the door. I used a piece of wood to keep the glass from dropping while I worked replaced the regulator.

I replaced mine because of noise and a broken bracket, not bad motor or gearbox.
