When removing the door panel, you need to remove all of the screws first. Then pull the door panel off. There should be screws around the edges or the door panel, and 1-2 screw on the door handle(on the inside). Then pop the door panel off, if the blazer has electric windows and locks you have to disconect them first, if it doesnt have power locks and windows, you have to take the window crank off,there should be a screw in the center of that. Unscrew the door lock and pull up. If it doesnt have them locks then you have to disconect it from inside the door panel

SOURCE: no power to passenger door window or lock, drivers

I know this sounds strange but I believe the problem is in the drivers door. This is where the master switch is and controls the other doors. Have it tested or replaced. Hope this helps. Good luck.

SOURCE: door locks and power window

Just did this procedure I got from coloradofans.com forums:

"any type of power/voltage change seems to trigger this issue

The most common symptom is power locks fail and only the driver window quits, however that is on the extended cab.

Steps to fix and it works every time.

take door panel off driver's door
Disconnect the wiring attached to window and power lock control unit
disconnect battery cables
connect the negative to the positive cable(((NO BATTERY CONNECTED)))
This will act to short residual voltage in the system

5 minutes later
place the key in the ignition and turn to the run position
connect the wiring to the window/lock controller
connect the negative cable to the battery
then the positive
open drivers side door
turn key to the off position((do not remove yet)) you should get a series of dings through speakers telling you the key is still in the ignition
once it begins dinging pull the key out and you should hear the door lock solenoids trigger and the windows should work." - Coloradofans.com forums

How do I correct wind noise on drivers side door / window 1999 Camry?

There may be a torn, missing, or loose door gasket. If you inspect the seal and find torn or missing segments, repair or replace. If the seal is intact, the the most likely cause is a gap in the door seal near the top rear of the door. This happens over time because the door frame can actually get bent slightly outward. It is so little as to not be visible, but you can hear the wind noise. The way to get the noise to stop is to open the door and roll the window all the way down. Then, holding the door firmly, grasp the upper rear corner and pull it inward (toward to the car). A couple of sharp tugs will usually do the trick. I know it sounds silly, but it works. BE SURE TO HAVE THE WINDOW DOWN OR YOU COULD SHATTER THE GLASS!
The door frame is quite thin compared to other car body parts and will bow/bend if you pull on it. Start out carefully and if you don't get the results you want, try again with more force.

How do i replace my window guides in a 95 csprice

You are talking about the rubbers right?

Depending on how tight the fit of the new rubbers are, you can try the following:

1) Power or wind the window down the the bottom.
2) Pull out the rubber guide, starting from the top of the window frame. Pull the rubber upwards and outwards from the two side runners.
3) Using silicone spray, lubricate your new rubber and feed it into your window runner guides, pushing it downwards.
4) Spray the inside of your new rubber guide, in the window channel. Operate the window upwards, making sure the rubber slips past, beyond the widow and all the way to the bottom of its channel.
5) Secure the rubber all the way around the frame and channel.

Tight fit:

1) Remove inner door skin.
2) Loosen or remove retaining bolts on side window channels.
3) Power or turn the window down to its lowest position.
4) Follow the rest of the steps in the first list and re-secure the channel when finished.
5) Refit door inner skin.

Steps to replace right hand side door internal window seal

I believe your car has a full frame windows? If that is correct then are you talking about the rubber the window glass slides up and down in? If so, then you have to remove the inner door panel and might be helpful if you have power windows remove the power window switch from the inner panel and reconnect to wiring harness. Using this technique, there are 2 10mm bolts holding the window glass to the regulator. Position the glass with the 10mm bolts through a couple sight holes, remove the 10mm bolts but hold on to the glass so it doesn't fall in the door and break. install the rubber window channel and reverse procedure.

Stuck crank window, drivers side, 97 honda civic

1996-00 Civic 2-doors had a problem with the front windows binding or coming out of the run channel. The window regulator needs replaced and the rubber run channel needs inspected for damage and to make sure its properly seated into the window channels. note: make sure you install the window crank in the 10 o'clock position, so your not tempted to use the window crank as a door handle to pull the door shut. This can break the crank and/or the regulator. -Hope this helps:)

Window jumped off window track

drivers window?
the best way to fix it is to replace the window run channel (rubber the glass slides in) and the regulator. or to get by if the regulator isnt bent take the door panel off, take the door glass out, the front of the run channel inside the door is bent foreward a little bend the metal track to the rear a little by hand, careful its weak, spray the run channel with silicone spray and reinstall the glass. if the run channel is torn it wont last.

Water is leaking in the back on the drivers side

You may have a bad door seal strip. Check the rubber seal that goes around the door frame on the body and make sure it's first in place correctly, and secondly not torn, ripped or damaged. also make sure your window seals are good too. Good Luck

Vent window repair.

To replace the window seal, you first have to remove the vent window assembly from the door. After it is removed, the nut and spring on the bottom of the window has to be removed. Then remove the glass and frame from the vent assembly frame. Then gently remove the rubber off of the frame and install the new one after you replace the top vent bar seals. Reverse the window removal procedures to reinstall the glass and frame. The top vent bar seals requires a special tool to remove and replace the rivets you get with the replacement seal. You need to replace the top vent bar seal before reinstalling the new vent window rubber. When I replaced my top vent seals, it was fairly easy with my removal/installation tool.
