Hi, I have a super-crew truck which is four doors and a while back the rear driver side window would not roll up, it would roll down perfectly but not back up. A lot of people have told me it is the regulator but that is down my list because for one the regulator makes absolutely no noise trying to roll it up. Also, I noticed that if the accessory is on with a door open and the inside lights are on the lights do not flicker if I try to roll it up, they do if I try to roll it down or any other window. So I am thinking a switch or a connection, and if it's a switch which one would it be? The driver door or the passenger door with the window problem?
Thanks guys hope to hear from you soon!

Hello,

It does sounds like the switch or the window motor. But to be sure here is the window wiring diagrams below and a guide to help you test for power at the switch:

and if you need to replace the motor.

When doing the motor be careful the unit is spring loaded and when you remove the motor it will take off on you so be ready to hold it.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.

Cheers, Ken
