I have a 2008 Dodge Avenger and all of a sudden the passenger front window decided not to go up anymore. It went down fine but when it was time for it to go up it said NO! I bought a new motor thinking that was the problem and put it in but NOTHING! It would roll down but do nothing going up. I took a meter to the wire and Im getting 12v when I flip the switch but the motor does nothing when I try to put it up. I have checked everything that I can think of and cannot figure this out. Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help!!! ---

Isn’t this car still under manufacturer’s warranty? If so let the dealer take care of it for you. ---

I have the same problem on an older Ford. I lubed up all the guides etc. but that didn’t help. The window works except for when it goes all the way down it dies, but if I whack the motor with a mallet it is fine. Wishing not to spend the bucks for a new motor and drilling out the rivets etc. to replace it we just do not put the passenger window all the way down. I disconnected the passenger switch to avoid accidental guest lowering. After hearing your story I am glad I did not replace my motor. There must be some kind of a sensor that stops the motor when the window hits bottom. Let me know what you find. been that way for 2 years, hope it works to at least get your window closed. ---

The problem might be with the passenger door module. This is what controls the window motor function. If you bring it to the dealer they can connect a scanner to confirm this. Tester ---

The car isnt under warranty, thats what i get for being a cheap a$$ lol. I dont think its the door module cause it wont work using either switch (driver or passenger side) but when I put a volt meter on it I get power both ways. Is it possible that I got a bad motor from the dealer?
