Default Gm

as we all know, my alero does not have working A/C, or a working drivers window. for the first 2 months i have been hitting the switch in hopes of it working...obviously, i gave up.
since the end of june i have been sweating my ass off in that car with only one working window....i for one, welcome the new found coldness that has subsided upon us.

2 days ago, im driving down dale mabry, and in my extreme level of tiredness accidentaly hit the swtich for the drivers window....and it goes down.

wtf??????

Maybe the heat affected the motor for it or something and it enjoys the freshness.

New cars = shit. My '87 Caddy has all working, all original power windows, power seats, power locks, etc... The worst problem I have is that I might have to hit the switch twice on the passenger side to unlock the doors. That's it.

+1
you should remove the switch it may be just dirty or sticking with some "aftermarket glue" (after what you do in that car to scare old folks...it could be anything )

GM's also have a tendency to break wires inside the doorjambs leading to those type issues.
