Driver side power window

Just today when i pulled into the parking lot, i tried to put up my driver side window. It was all the way down and it wouldnt go up at all. All the other windows work, however this one wont budge nor make any sound when the button is pressed. The window lock is off! If anyone can help me out where i can locate a fuse for the driver side power window. If it even exists. That would be great, thanks!

Get out your owners manual, find which fuse is for the power windows. Or maybe,if you take the cover off the fuse panel,on the inside of the cover it might have them listed. You an get a replacement at a auto parts store,im not sure what you have in toronto. Or you can get it from the nissan dealership.
Also, i somehow messed up my sisters power windows (all of them),i blew the fuse,AND a relay. So dont be like me and panic when you replace the fuse and nothing works still, maybe you blew-up both

I hope for your sake it's nothing but a fuse - a quick and easy fix.

My window went out yesterday, and I'm struggling to disassemble things.

Dam bro the same thing happened to me one night i could put up all my windows except the rear drivers side one. I freaked out and checked everything i could possibly imagine and be able to do at 2am but i couldn't diagnose it. I took it to my mechaninc the next morning and he said i burnt a window motor. IDK if you have same problem but that might be since all the other windows work.

It sounds to me as though the switch latch may have come off of the circut peg. Fortunatley, you can test this manually.

(1) Remove the poptab from the door pull.
(2) Unscrew the screw
(3) Remove the pull cup
(4) Pop out the trim
(5) Unscrew the switch from the trim peice
(6) Pry the switch panel cover off of the circut board.
(7) Look at the circut board, you should see this:


Now, with everything still plugged in, move the little plastic peg in between R15 (Resistor #15) and TR5 (Transistor #5) to the left and the right using a very thin flat-head screwdriver. This will allow you to directly control the window function. IIRC, moving it to the rear will move the window up, moving it forward will move the window down. If this works, then breate a sigh of relief, everything works. Then carefully position the peg so that it lines up in between the two lines | |.

(8) Reassemble everything.

I would give this a shot before you tried anything else.

Metal Max - where do you find this kind of information from? circuitry is pretty darn technical.

If you end up getting it to go up then it goes down again by itself its the module

Let's just say having a background in engineering gives you a bit of an advatnage when troubleshooting things.
