1994 Chevy Lumina ATV power window and locks problem.

1994 Chevy Lumina ATV, the passenger side power window stopped working, able to operate it fine bypassing the switch with a direct power jumper from the battery and it travels faster than before the switch stopped working. Driver's side now very slow and will not fully close the window before it stops. If you wait a few moments it will travel further. We have to repeat several times until it fully closes. Also the power locks will not fully lock unless the switch is pressed 2-3 times. Almost acts like there is not enough voltage, like the battery is going dead but these symptoms are the same with or without the engine running. Ideas?

2007 chevy silverado power window dome light and power mirror passenger side front

Beings as everything that stopped working is on the passenger side, I'd think some wiring got disconnected or broken.

I have a 2004 Chevy Venture. All of a sudden my passenger side window stopped working. It will not operate from either side. Also the door lock button does not work on that side but the driver side button...

Sounds like the passenger side window motor has a bad connection or is shorted internally. There should be a motor plug in connector for the passenger side, as they are multiprong, it is possible for one part to work and the other not to work.

Unplug the wiring connector for the lock/motor and use a tester to see if the signal is consistent from the buttons you are using. One thing that is a little of a disadvantage is having the door open to work on the wires and closed for real world operation. A broken wire may wiggle to work when the doorjam is open and fail when the door is closed.

When the window seals start leaking on the outside glass, the rain can drip onto the motor. Also cracked solder is a common failure when motors go bad.

I have a 2004 Chevy Venture. All if a duffin my passenger side window stopped working. It will not operate from either side. Also the for lock button does not work on that side but the driver side button...

It could be a short in the harness between the door and the body.
Or it could be a problem with the switch in the door, but I doubt it.
You would need to get a wiring diagram and a meter or test light and find out which wires are hot and which are not to troubleshoot it.

2006 Chevy Impala power windows won't work

It does sound like you have a short in the master switch on the drivers side. If the passengers switch does not work, check the left master switch and the window lock switch.

Can a regular person replace the driver side door handle of a Chevy Lumina van if I send away for it? 1994 6 cyl automatic w power door locks.Key sounds like it is locking, but doesn't, can't get the door...

Yes you can do this yourself BUT make sure you get the plastic clips to the lock rods before you order. That is what is probably wrong with the door handle.

Passenger window on 94 lumina van

If all the other windows work when the passenger window won't move (during the 5 min period), then the passenger side motor is bad. If the motor pulls too much amperage, the circuit breaker that is built into the motor will trip, until it cools down.
