2001 Suburban - Power window not working

Sep 13, 2003 10 Replies

Today I got in my Suburban and the rear driver's side power window would not work. I tried working it with both the driver's switch and door switch. Nothing. All other windows worked fine.



A couple miles down the road the window started working fine and has ever since.



Is there anything a non-mechanic can check or is this a common problem that others know about?



Thanks, Brown


moving the wire harness in the drivers door and operate the window. Cam

I had the same problem with a 2000 Tahoe I had. I took it to dealership and got it fix free. The service person said that it was a known problems with the Tahoe.

John,

Do you remember what they fixed?

Thanks, Brown

I also have a 2001 Suburban and both door rear power windows tanked at about 34,000 miles. Took it in to the dealership and they had to replace both motors in the doors.

The driver's side rear door on ours did something similar to yours. It stopped working and one day my wife hit the front driver's door controls with her knee on accident and the rear door PW started working again. The shop still replaced the motor though in both doors (the passenger side rear PW was definitely dead).

Good luck!

No problem at all! I feel the same way. I always get great info from the folks here and I always try to contribute when I have some info that is applicable.

Take care!
