Drive window won't work, radio/lights stay on - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

camarofrustration · 04-17-2018, 12:22 PM

My driver window was having some issues with indexing and the button down hold then button up hold wasn't fixing the issue but for a couple hours. So, we unplugged the connector to the driver door, left it off for a minute, and then plugged it back in. Now the driver window won't work at all (up or down) and when I turn the car off and open the driver door there is no "ding", the radio stays on, interior lights stay on, and I can continue to roll the passenger window up and down from the driver door.

What is wrong? Did we mess something up by pulling out that connector? I should probably say before we unplugged that connector everything was at least working normally except for the window indexing.

I'm so frustrated because every time I get out of the car now I have to disconnect the battery so it doesn't drain from the radio and lights being on! PLEASE HELP!

Yeah, I tried disconnecting negative and positive and it didn't work. When I get out of the car now I just disconnect then re-connect the negative. It at least turns everything off so the battery doesn't drain.

How did you end up in the ZL1 section for this question? You'll get MUCH more traffic in a proper SS or general Camaro 5 section.

I've been searching high and low. I'm new on here so I didn't notice the forums were separated by car types.

Sorry.

Sorry.

It's all good man, no harm done. Nothing to be sorry about. I'm just trying to help you get a better answer/more traffic, and that will be best in an SS or Problems section.

Hey Camarofrustration did you ever find the solution to this issue. I’m having the same problem myself.

He's only ever posted in this thread so he probably isn't around to answer.
