Default Passenger side windows aren't working

I have a '93 s15 jimmy with electric windows and my front passenger window isn't working. I've taken the door panel and everything off, replaced the switches (driver master control and passenger window control) and still can't find the problem. Any suggestions?

Got the same problem with all windows in mine. The switches in my unit are fine, but the motors that operate the windows are simply wore out. It is my understanding that when the motors begin to age that they draw more amps than when new. Further deterioration of the motors will eventually cause failure and the circiut will no longer provide enough power. I believe your motors are gone and require replacement.

Where I'm at is that the door panel is so small and there is no way for me to even get my hand in there to attempt to remove the motors! I know how to do this and have worked on other vehicles (LARGER) that allowed access. Here, I'm stuck. So maybe we'll both get an answer on hot to replace these motors in their tiny doors!

How to diagnose and replace a window motor on an S10/Blazer/Jimmy/Bravada:
http://www.a1electric.com/s10motor.htm

I didn't drill a hole and put a nut/bolt in it to hold the spring. I used a large c-clamp and clamped the heck out of it - worked fine on both the driver's and passenger-side regulators.

Thanks for the reply on this matter. I'm sure the member that posted this and myself will attempt to repair our respective vehicles. But, it sure looks like a real P.I.T.A. to do! Just might find me a shop, as my hands don't operate as good as they used to and I'm prone to loosing grip on stuff and such! I hate getting old........
