Not to be the jerk that says to search, but I have a very hard time believing that you came up with no results on failing window motors. This car is known for such a problem. I currently have the same issue...driver's side works and passenger side doesn't. I don't know what's wrong with your door locks because of the way you typed it, but for the window either buy a new motor and install it yourself, or bring it somewhere and pay for the labor

Window motors and actuators are common problems.

my window motor just went out too, driver side. U should search, and there are tons of thread made about this. Also, there is a vendor here that sell the window motor for a decent price. Good luck with fixing ur window and door actuator

its not very hard to believe. i have tried taking the window motor apart and cleaned it and still not work i bought a new door switch. i know this must be a common problem because everyone has it. im trying to find out if anyone has had problems going farther than just a motor and door locks like, the wiring or something. at one point it seemed like when i moved the wiring between the door my switch would work on and off. (passenger side)

for my passenger side lock, the wire of the actuator was pinched through some plate of metal and the body door. so i had to reroute it, iono if im just a special case of mishap or if anyone else has this

A similar thing happened to me too, but it was on my driver side door. Windows would work one day and not the next. I finally was able to find the problem after taking the panel off numerous times and I found that the harness was the culprit. The harness was not plugged in all the way, which would explain why my switch was lit one minute and then not lit when I hit a bump. Sounds like you may have the same problem I did, so it's worth looking into. You don't need to take off the whole door panel to access the harness to the switch, just pop off the little top panel that the swith sits on and you should be able to see the harness. Press it in to make sure that's it's plugged in all the way and see if you hear a "click". I've never had the problem since. GL

Quality control really sucks. They need to stop using cheap parts.
