help me fast

I was doing an LED swap on my window switches. One of the switches broke and i tried fixing it and when i put it back in it still did not work. I bought a new switch and when i put it in my window will still not work! i cannot use my passenger window at all. I hear no noise and when i try putting it down nothing happens, even when using my drivers door control. Please help soon its getting warm out!!

i can't find a fuse that is for each individual window. every other window works except that one. also, i can't get the LED's ont hat window to work. the original bulb in the new switch works but the LED's in the lock and window would'nt work before i broke it.

use a meter to find out where the problem is. maybe you have a short somewhere on the board. if you didn't use a heat sink clamp when you changed out the LEDs there's a good chance you burned the circuit.

Did you check your wiring harness? You may have bent one of the pins.

Try this: Take the window switch out of the passenger side and swap it into either of the rear window switches. (All 3 are the same.) If the switch works, in the rear, then there is possibly an internal problem with the harness. If the switch does not work with the rear, then you have 1, possibly 2 faulty window switches.

I disagree. I have NEVER used a heatsink clap and I have done three 5th gen LED swaps. It's not the switch. The internals of the switch involve 2 prings based upon 2 metal ***** which roll on an opposite-acting louvers that roll to close the circut; they are nominally centered. The ONLY way this could have fried the circut would have been if the louvers recieved a HUGE current thereby melting the copper. You really think it supplied enough current to MELT copper? If the switches were fried, you would have smelled it or seen some sort of physical damage.

Dude, we just need ALOOOOOOOOOT of patience and surgically precise hands to put yours back together....those damn ***** are (almost) impossible to center!!!!!

Your circuts aren't fried, the internals aren't properly balanced. At least you have some super-sweet 8000MCD action!

so then how come the LED's wont come on? not the lock or the window worked. The lock one on the top there was already an LED in there to so all i did was replace the LED in there with my red one and it wouldn't work.

are u sure the motor is out or could it be something in the wires?

It's likely a bent pin on the plug...I had the same problem with one of mine, the pin bent....

even if no noise comes out of the motor at all? and the drivers side controls have no effect either.

you said you messed up some circuitry on the driver's side board didn't you?

that could be it.....if I unplug the drivers' side board, the passenger side won't work either.

well the only circuitly that got messed up was one line from the resistor built into the board to the LED doesn't work. but that happened after that the window didn't work. but me and my friend(whos knows this stuff) traced it and that was the only line that got burnt. everything else works fine with a nice added feature.

somehow when my lights go off my doors unlock. LOL. so when i turn my car off at night and my lights go off my doors automatically unlock.
