Do you hear the window motor running? If so, broken window regulator strap or broken drive gear. If no motor running, electrical problem, possibly bad motor or bad switch.

I assume you are trying from the drivers side switch. Tried it from the passenger side switch?

Sounds like the window regulator is shot. I would pull that door panel off and have a look in there.

Well it wasn't today, but it was recent enough to consider it as "today", lol.

My Mazzi's were peeling so to mask the ugly I sanded them and just spray painted them. Figured they couldn't look any worse than they did already

Peeling before


After the spray paint


on the truck

Just finished washing the truck, started at about 8:30 this morning. Unfortunately I don't have any wax here and it is suppose to rain in a few days... But it looks GOOD!

Also got my new parts in the mail! It's better than Christmas today!!

Just painted my frame rails black to restore them a bit. Was tired of the faded grey look.

Painted the hitch on my truck.

Yeah so maybe I'm going a little over board with my rattle can projects.... but they are cheap and are making the truck look new again! Just need to throw a good coat of wax on before I attempt the bed rails...
