I have a 2014 Chevy Silverado. My driver side window works fine. My passenger side window only works for the passenger side switch. My rear windows do not work at all. I replaced the switch and have the same problem. Any ideas I’m at a loss?

Double check the "Child Safety Switch" for the windows to make sure that it's not set.

 

Check fuses, and ohm wires from switches to window motor.

Check the wires in the door jamb for breaks. Try grabbing the rubber boots and moving it around while operating the switches to see if they start working.

 

 

1. Test the driver's window switch power and ground feeds. 

 

2. Check for wire breaks in the door jamb boot. 

 

3. If there is low/no voltage on the Yellow wire in terminal 43 at the switch, cut the Yellow wire in terminal 22 in the X2 connector at the Body Control Module (BCM). 

 

4. Confirm there are 12 volts on the Yellow wire on the BCM side of the cut. 

 

5. If there are 12 volts, check for an open in the Yellow wire between the BCM and the driver power window switch.

You're welcome. I see that all the time at work. Probably best to add enough wire so your splices aren't in the bend.

Thanks for posting this topic. I had the exact same symptoms. I thought it was the switch also. Them I found this site. Found the same broken wires in the door jam harness.  Very helpful.  Thank you very much.

I have the same symptoms, but my wire harness looks good, except the thick black wire is cut and exposed some. Ordering a new harness now, hoping to have positive results.

Yup, this.

Is this a common problem on the K2’s?

I know this post is from 2020 but when my 2018 was in the shop in July for this, the GM dealer said it was becoming more increasingly common.  As well as the hood sensor/switch failing.

So it ends up that while I found a slice in the black ground wire in the main door harness, I actually only needed to replace fuse #8 in the drivers side fuse panel to get everything working again. Thanks.

I have a 2018 Silverado. The passenger window will not roll down from the passenger door switch or the drivers door switch. All of the other windows work from their respective switch and the drivers panel. I replaced the switch and the window motor assembly (both OEM) but the problem remains. Additionally, the door ajar light is on continuously. I checked the fuses and the wiring and I can’t find any issues. Any advice?

Have you run a scan with a scan tool?
Also, have you checked all grounds (yeah, I know, always the easy answer without solving the problem)
Still, a scan would probably find the fault, might be a legacy code that needs a reset.

 I have a early model 2014 Chevy Silverado and the drivers side windows have stopped working as well as the stereo stays on after the vehicle is shut off (opening door does not cancel the radio) I have replaced the window switch, door wiring harness, and the latch on the drivers door. I have also checked all fuses and they are good any ideas where to look next.

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
