hey guys, my driverside power window switch doesn't seem to work. is this a common problem on s14's??? cuz i just bought a new but used switch adn it still doesn't work. is it the switch or the wiring or what?? but when i move the switch up and down i can hear a ticking noise but nothing happens. i know the regulator and the whole window assembly works cuz i can roll up and down the window if i connect the wire from the inside the door to a battery it works. so basically my question is it the switch or the wiring?

1. Yes, common problem.
2. It could be the motor itself or the amplifier.
3. Search.

I'd agree as well, but your chicken scratch ebonics writing makes my eyes bleed.

1.you tried a new switch and it didnt work.
2.you hard wired the motor and it worked.
3. it is the window amp. double check the wiring from the window amp as well though, and also check to make sure the window lock is off as well this gets alot of ppl of guard they wonder y the damn windows wont work but come to find out the lock was on.
