Dead power window - 300e

The passenger side front power window on my 91 300e 4matic is stuck in the down position. All 3 other windows work fine. Replaced the fuse, tried pushing the window switch while opening/closing the door to jiggle any loose wires, etc. There is no noise whatsoever when I press the window switch. Any idea on how to proceed?

Thanks in advance

Jay

Take out that window switch and replace it with another one of your window switches. The switches themselves sometimes go dead. If that doesnt work:

Take that door panel off
press the switch and listen if you hear the window motor working
If you hear it making a noise, then lubricate the window regulator
My cars regulator was stuck about 4 months ago.(I dont know why) and I did those steps and then I sprayed it down with WD-40. Its been fine ever since.

I had a stuck regulator as well and I sprayed it down witrh WD40 as Mike above. It got the regulator working, but now I can't seem to get rid of the smell of the WD40. In retrospect, I would try to find something else to lubricate with. 3 months later and when the car sits a few days, the smell is quite noticeable. Tod

Thanks for the replies, guys. It was a dead switch. Pulled off the console cover, pried off the bad switch, picked up a new one at the dealer, and everything was fixed within an hour. So now I can enjoy the a/c during the 90 degree heat we getting here in Minneapolis this weekend!

Regards

Jay
