I will show you how you can remove the door card or panel to help you get access to test if the window motor is working.
Check out my other video showing you how to make your own test light if you don't have one.

    Hi mate..... Have a GWM C10 car with same problem.... But all 4 of the windows dont work..... I checked the fuses , tested and even swapped the window relay with a known good one, but still nothing..... All 4 motors and switches couldnt have blown at the same time i believe.... Im gonna try your method first then i guess its off to an auto electrician to find whether theres a broken power or ground wire somewhere not feeding all the windows

    • @EverydayMechanic
      @EverydayMechanic 4 місяці тому

      Hi does sound like a module may have gone down if all fuses are good so see if a scan tool code reader will communicate and if so see if codes are stored in the driver door module if no communicetion can be found then check if the driver door module has power and grounds

      @SCRATCHONEMORE 4 місяці тому

      I’m currently trying this as I speak. I’m using a circuit tester from Wally World. The tip is actually pretty slim and pointy and gets into the holes but I haven’t had success yet. I think you need that extra tip he slides on. I’m going to try a paper clip, unfold it make it straight and use electrical tape to wrap it around tester tip. Will update if that does the trick. If that doesn’t work it may be my ground in clamping to isn’t good enough so that’s next however I’m using the same spot he used in this video and my metal is bare so I’m betting on that tip attachment doing the trick.
