Another window help thread. S14's blow lol

[DeanGrind]

Alright so when I got my car I knew right off the bat that I needed new window switches. They actual buttons were broken off so they were fucked beyond repair.

Wellll I got new switches today and expected to have working windows, and after installing the switches I tried putting the windows down... and nothing. I can hear a very slight 'electrical' noise when i try it but the windows don't budge. The wires get warm so I know there's a current coming from the switches but now worky.

I'm wondering.. do I need a new motor too?

Anybody have any advice?

If you hear a click but no window movement then thats ur window amp working and not the motor. so window motor needs to be replaced, you said you hear a electric sound so im guessing thats the window motor and ur window amp is dead.

lol if you press the window button and hear a click the the window motor needs to be changed.
if you press the window button and hear a electric motor sound the ur window motor is good and the amp is bad.
