I have a 2001 GMC Yukon XL 1500. Last September the front driver's side door window stopped working. I attempted to do some troubleshooting, and finally ended up buying a replacement window regulator for it from 1a auto. I got the part replaced and the window returned to normal functionality. This lasted a couple of months and then the window stopped working again. I have some other weird issues that I suspect were related to the switches on the door and I'll briefly describe them, although my intention isn't to try and fix them in this thread (planning to create separate ones).
1. The front drivers window controls will roll the right read window down, but not up. To roll it up, you have to use the right rear control which works fine in both directions.
2. The mirror adjustment controls seem really slow to respond, but specifically, I can adjust the mirrors (both sides) left, right, and down, but the controls will not adjust the mirrors up.
Since I suspected the switch may be bad, I bought a used front drivers controls from a local guy who parts these vehicles out. I bought the controls home, swapped them out with the used one I bought, and nothing changed. Front driver's window still won't go down, mirrors won't go up, and the rear passenger window will go down, but not up. I went ahead and put the original controls back in the door.
Since the regulator I bought back in September was still under warranty I contacted 1a auto and they shipped out a replacement. I installed it this morning and before I put the door panel back on, I hooked up with switches and I was able to roll the Front Drivers window down, but not up. So I grabbed the replacement switch and hooked it up, and now I had full control over the window both up and down.
I then reassembled the door panel and hooked up all the controls, but once I had everything back together the window was no longer working again.
I'm really at a lose here for what might be going on and curious if anyone has any suggestions as to what my issue might be, or tips for troubleshooting and tracking down exactly where the issue might be.
