My driver side window works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. Here lately it hasn't been working at all. The passenger side still works perfect. I've checked the wires between the doors and cab and the relays seem to be working. I did notice it seems like my truck isn't charging enough and I noticed today while stopped at a light my amp gauge was had a tiny bounce going on. When I hit the driver window button the gauge still says its drawing power. The gauge really only reads low when I have the AC on but that's even at highway speeds. Anyone experience something like this before? Any help to tracking this booger down would be much appreciated.

 

hello, It's probably the switch. You can get one of these and just unplug the switch. If you have power drawing from the battery this will light up.. just pull fuses or devices until the light goes out.

Scout, I'll have to try that tomorrow. The thing that I don't understand is like 6 months ago I had the same problem but it only lasted a day and continued to work perfect without a hitch until yesterday. A few times if I turned the truck off and back on the window would work. The passenger side had a few moments too but not as bad. Another time the AC quit working as well! That led me to believe it was a relay problem but if one of the relays was bad wouldn't both windows not work? Sorry I've just always hated electrical gremlins

Thanks fellas

 

Sounds like a flaky ignition switch.

 

Umm never connected this but sometimes the truck won't start unless you really push the gear shifter up into park or put it in nuetral.

 

Sounds like a flakey truck.

If it's the ignition switch, other stuff like the radio will quit also.

When old technology DC motors near end of life, they can do all sorts of tricks. Intermittent operation is one of them. Excessive power draw is another.

Every dodge I've owned has had wires break in the loom that goes through the door hings.

 

I know what what you mean. My dads 07 had a couple wire break in there already. I guess I'll take the switch off and test it but all the wires in the loom looked good. I had one cracked with wire showing last time and I replaced it when it first acted up. I don't think it was the problem though. I'm just frustrated that I can't track it down.
