having a problem w/ either the window switch or the window motor. when the switch is pressed to raise/lower there is a clicking noise from a relay but no window movement. I suspect a fuse might be the problem but which one?
thanks, Carter

You can check the motor by hooking a power source to the plug of the switch pos. to one of the connectors and neg to the other. try both ways 1s up and 1s down. you can use a battery charger for this with wire so you can get to the conn. we do it at work all the time. 8)

Suggested Repair

There are no individual fuses for each window. The window lift motor may be bad. Test it by applying power at the switch plug: connect positive to one terminal and negative to the other, then reverse polarity, briefly in each direction. A battery charger and jumper wires can be used.
