Power Drive side window does not work. Replaced motor and control switch.

On my 1999 Honda Civic I fixed the non-functioning window by running one of its ground wires to a machine screw on the door. A couple years later it needed a new regulator/motor assembly and I used that same ground point.

Yeah, my thought would also be a wiring issue since you’ve eliminated the other possibilities. I would check to make sure there’s power to the motor. The wire from the door frame to the door could be broken.

Likely there is a body control computer that controls this as well but wiring is most likely. The old motor and the switch could have been easily tested and proved functional.
