2011 Ram - One Power Window Won't Work

[TJ Crocker]

I've got a 2011 Ram quad cab sport. I just noticed that the rear power window on the driver's side won't work. I've tried rolling it down with the master switch in the driver's armrest and with the switch on the left rear door itself (made sure window lock was turned off), with no luck. All other power windows and power locks work fine. I'm guessing it's not a fuse, since everything else works... ideas?

if all the other windows work from the drivers switch and their respective switches and that one doesn't work from its own switch or the drivers side master switch then it sounds like you may have a bad window motor. you can try to lightly bang on the interior door panel while hitting the switch to see if it moves. if it moves then you have a bad motor. the correct way to diagnose it would be to pull the door panel off and check to see if the motor is getting power. if its getting power then the motor is bad. if no power than start checking for a cut wire somewhere

This^ + check the wiring that goes into the door, in jam.

Did you ever figure out the problem? My 2016 sport just started having this problem. It sucks because of coarse I'm beyond the 35,000 mile warranty now so I'm sure it is a stupid expensive fix at the dealer.

I had this exact issue with my 2014 3500 except with my rear passenger window. I replaced my master switch and fixed my issue instantly. I paid about $60 on eBay for one. After examining the old unit, it looked like some water had gotten in there and corroded it some.
Removal and install of the switch is very easy and you DO NOT need to take off your door card. All you do is take a cheap plastic trim removal tool to pry up the old switches, unplug the harness, plug in your new switches, pop it in the hole, and toss out the defective unit.

If it does happen to be a motor though, I found them as cheap as $30 (also on eBay).

Best of luck!
