R32 gtst window stuck (not the relay)

[smart_garrett]

Hello all, 

recently I’ve been having some trouble with my drivers side window. The symptoms it was showing would lead me to re solder the window relay, I ended up getting a new one and the problem did not change. The window is stuck up, when I switch the switch to the up position, there is a click from the relay (which is good), when I click the switch down there is no click. So I’m wondering if the problem is the switch or the regulator motor, I’m hoping it’s the switch but I really don’t know. I also took the switch out and cleaned it, then I put it back in and the window went down, so I put it back up again, and when I went to put it down and it was stuck up again. Thank you for any help.

Did you check the motor itself at all? 

And try bypassing the switch and seeing if it works.  Unplug it and rig up a 'hot' wire with an inline fuse.  If this works then yes its the switch.

But I thought the window has to be down to get the regulator and motor out?
