Hello I have a 94 Chevy K1500 Z71 truck and I am doing the power windows becasue both did not work. The drivers side regulator was stripped so that was the problem there but the passenger side didnt move at all with either window button(drivers side or passenger side) I have a spare drivers side wiring harness can I make it work for the passenger side and how do I go about finding where my problem in the wiring is? Thanks very much

Take a test light at the motor and see if it's getting power. If it is it may be the motor.
