hay i just thought ide ask first before taking it into the auto electrician,

my drivers side window doesnt work and when i bought it the guy said its just the fuse but if it was the fuse why does the passanger window still work?

i took the door panel off just to check it out and all the wires are connected properly and all that, and theres no obvious things wrong, does any one know if theres some kind of fuse for one side or anything like that.

Thanks

No its one fuse for both windows.

Option 1: just take it to an electrician

Otion 2: If you wanna learn something
1) Go to super cheap and buy a test light about $10 or even better a multimeter (can get half decent one for $30, these tools are awesome and you will never regret buying them)

2) Pull off door trim and test to see whether you have power to the swtich, if yes then test to see if you have power to the motor when switch is pushed.

Outcome:
If you have no power to the switch then you need to find out why? Fuse?, broken wire? etc
If you have power to switch but no power to the motor when button is pressed then probably switch is stuffed.
If you have power to switch and to motor but motornot doing anything then motor is probably stuffed

Im really tired, so thats about as much help as i can be sorry
