    Up is down and down is up lol. The passenger window works fine. I just bought this car not to long ago and noticed in the glove box a receipt for a window regulator. Is it possible the regulator was plugged in backwards or something? I would think not but I know the switch cannot be plugged in wrong so I am unsure what else it could be.

    Ideas, suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    I've had this happen w/ aftermarket regulators/motors (2 in fact). Just pull the door panel and switch the 2 wires around at the motor plug. Problem solved.

    Thanks, I will have to try that. I just had the door apart earlier today and didn't even think to look at that. Just put all new pins in and put it back together lol.
