passenger window not working

ok i did the blue LED bulb swap on my switches. i didnt read the warning about not trying to open up the passenger window switch. that switch is messed up and wont work. BUT now i cant even get the window to go down with the driver side switch!!! all the other windows work fine
i opened up the driver side switches again and everything looks fine.
so what is the problem?
could it be a fuse? or is there one for all the switches?

i did the passenger switches first. after i messed it up i could still lower it with driver switch.
then i did the driver switch and cant do it.
im afraid that the passanger switch shorted out and messed up the motor

i think you over heated the board.

I didn't do the front driver's nor passanger's side because they are a lower voltage than I expected. I need some smaller voltage LEDs if I want to change them. I did my rear switches though and they work fine.

if it's not the switch, it's definitely the motor. More $$$ out of your pocket now

You probably just need a new switch

ok passenger window is working!!!!
i used a switch from the back door and after hooking it all up it works!!!!
so not the rear window wont go down even from the drivers door.
so basically if the switch is broken what ever window its on wont work even from drivers switch. i guess it has to work for the power to go through it even for the drivers switch. o well, front windows are the important ones

To buy new window switch from the dealer for the passenger side it only cost $27.30.

I think you just need to check the ***** and springs on the switch itself. Make sure it is all seated properly when you put it back together. The window will not work if the switch is not put back together properly. I'm pretty sure it's in the switch. Try and put the switch back together properly. If you can't get it then buy another switch. But the problem does lie withing that switch. The motor isn't bad it's the ***** and springs are not set properly. Hit me back if it doesn't work.

You don't need smaller LED's you need the proper resistor to wire in line in order to make the LED's work with a 12 volt source.
