1957 electric window not working

[whitethunder]

I have a 1957 thunderbird with a window issue. It seems the passenger window works fine from the passenger side, however the window does not operate from the drivers side. I would be interested in hearing any replies to this issue or maybe a place to start checking for a problem. Your thoughts and suggestions would be most helpful. Sincerely, Greg

Strictly from a technical standpoint, seems pretty evident the issue lies within the driver's side switch/wiring .

I agree with the switch
Also check the wires where they exit the drivers door,
they tend to break from the constant bending

The switches are just pressed into the door card and held by spring clips. It is very easy to pull the driver's switch off and check the connections. Don't need to take the door card off.

Originally, there are space connectors and one may have come off. Or a previous owner had some creative wiring skills and you get a real surprise when you open it up….IF I remember, there were 7 connections on the drivers side switch…possibly 8

Just noticed that space connectors is supposed to be SPADE CONNECTORS……$%#&^ Auto-correct

LOL I noticed that and knew what you meant but you can only edit within 5 min of posting. We haven't heard back so I hope it was a simple loose wire.

It's a process that has been discussed here before. Do a search. Also the shop manual goes into pretty good detail.
