Q: 97 ram cc 60k miles today my power windows decided they do not want to work anymore both passenger side and drivers side neither up nor down. doesnt matter whether you use the passenger door button or the dual drivers side door button. nada.. ive checked the obvious 30a fuse and it is good. ideas welcomed. .

you need to check the harness in the drivers side door and the drivers side door switch. either the switch has failed or the harness may have failed where it enters the door. also check the connector at the switch. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving 97 ram cc 60k miles today my power windows decided they do not want to work anymore both passenger side and drivers side neither up nor down. doesnt matter whether you use the passenger door button or the dual drivers side door button. nada.. ive checked the obvious 30a fuse and it is good. ideas welcomed. .

took me a non-mechanic total about 2 hours to find fix and put it all back together. wonder what mr. dodgewrench would have charged me... or better yet wonder how badly sears or firestone/goodyear shops would have soaked me any guesses/estimates we do not yet have numbers that high. .
