My rear driver's side power window hasn't worked at all since I've owned the car. A couple of days ago I got my hands on a good window actuator assembly, I tested the unit outside the door and it wouldn't move when I pressed either the rear door's window switch, or the master switch. The fuses are okay, what else could be keeping that window from moving?

check the wires that go from the rear door to the body of the car

so it's quite possible your original 1 was o:k,.....qickest way to check is with a good digital multi-meter to confirm you have switching voltage at the motor connection,....if none,..check at the 1st switch,...then the master switch,.....it's either open circuited,(disconnected wire) or faulty switch/s

My driver window kind of quit working intermittently. Since it was intermittent, I didn't think it was the motor or switch. I took the panel off and broke open the power window control unit (easy). I got the printed circuit board out and found that the solder joints at the relay outputs were loose. I resoldered a bunch of them and all is well! I think the heat can get to them after 15 years. :)

Yeah and the brushings get realy dirty etc most of hte time the motor is not bad but a lose connection or a dirty one.

check your window connections at the door harness, these connections have been known to come aloose, I had this problem before.
