    Hi All,
    I replaced the driver side rear door with a used one. The auto lock works fine, but the (motor controlled) window does not roll down (either with front control or rear control buttons). Any ideas on how I can get the window to roll down? I heard someone mention that I should "reprogram" the window (perhaps with the OBD?), or that I should swap the electrical cables from my old door. I don't see how different wires would make any difference though. Thanks for any hints or ideas!
    Best regards,
    Ryan

    First things first, does the window motor in that door work if you bring it 12 volts directly?

    This is a good point. I will check this.

    Sounds like you may have a bad window motor as being mentioned possibly above by supplying 12 volts known to the system door and window motors do go bad.
