My drivers window goes up and down good but the auto down does not work. I checked the fuse/relay that is in the box under the hood, drivers side and it looked okay but to be sure I swapped it with the one for the electric seats, same amp and relay and it still does not work. Any ideas??? ---

It could be a problem with the GEM (General Electronics Module). It controls the auto feature on the window, as well as the residual function of the radio and windows until a door is opened. Considering the cost of replacing it, I’d live with it as long as the window still works. ---

& do a visual on the wires that go into the door, near the hinge area. Notice any fraying there, or any insulation rubbed off?
