i bought my truck last month and the guy had half done a bunch of little stuff I’m now having to go back over to fix.. the latest land mine was the passenger power window. Neith window worked so I changed the popped fuse and got the drivers side working. Then pulled the passenger side switch (it was half shoved into place) and found 2 of the 5 or so wires not connected to the new pigtail. I figured this would be simple and stuck them together one way, fuse popped, tried the other way, fuse popped again. So I got out Hanes and went over the schematic. Went ahead and rewired the pigtail per the diagram, fuse did not pop and when I turned the key on I heard a real quick sound then it went away. It sounded like the window motor budged. Fuse still intact, now I’m thinking the motor is seized and just needs to be replaced, at its age couldn’t hurt anyway right? So I get the new motor, take out the regulator but before I swap motors I decide to plug the old motor into the harness to see if it will move now... it does. The sound I heard was the window snugging up. Apparently the motor is getting constant juice to go up all the time. It doesn’t make any sense. The pink wire and blue w/ white stripe are hot with key on. So I go poking around the driver switch (both switches are new) to see if the pigtail maybe has a wire jumped or something. Drivers side has hot to pink and tan... wtflip. Nothing jumped but I had to break the back off to get into it plus some of the wires were frayed where they connected so I got to order a new drivers side pigtail.. in the meantime has anyone had this happen?
