Subject:Re: Power Window Problem - Driver's Side Switch Quit

I've had mine quit before, because wires came loose.  But it's odd that you
still have passenger side.  Did you pull the door panel and take a look?  If
you do, be careful of the very-easy-to-break legs on the frame holding the
window switches into the driver's side.  I have a fix if they're gone.
