Rain + Open window = bad motor?

Rain + Open window = bad motor?

Well the dumbass that I am forgot to roll up the windows last night before I went to bed. I wake up this morning and its pouring outside. I go out to my car to roll up the windows and the passengers side wont move. Not even a click or anything from the motor. Does anyone know if this baby will work once it dries out?

Anybody know where I can get a new one if I need one for a 2003. I can not find one online for the life of me for a 2003.

it could be a regulator, or just needing some greese! I'd sugegst you check to see if yoru power window 'lock' swith is unlocked (my wifee called me one say to say her windows weren't working..turned out to be the switch). If not, then search for instructions to remove the door panal and see if you can lube the thing and try again!

It turns out it is not the motor. I hooked up 12 volts to the motor from my battery charger and up the window started going. So i know its not the motor now. I checked all the switches and they are fine to. So its gotta be a fuse or a relay or something. I checked the fuse for the windows and sunroom and it is fine, plus the sunroof and drivers side window function perfectly. So it looks like I gotta find a wiring diagram or something to figure out where the problem could possibly be.
