Hi there, so basically i needed to remove my doorcard in the process of replacing my door lock actuator, which was a pain in its self, but my dumb*** forgot to disconnect the battery when taking off the door card, and after re installing everything (apart from the actuator as i need a new one) the window on that door no longer goes up or down, doesnt even make a sound, however the rest do just fine. any thoughts on how bad i screwed up / what might have gone wrong?

There's no reason you'd have to disconnect the battery to replace a door lock actuator. If it stops working again check for loose connections.

Broken wires in the door jamb

yeah thats what i assumed, and i guess i was right, but its probably good practice to disconnect the battery any time i work on the electronics

interestingly sometimes it goes up quite slowly and has a hard time getting all the way up, would that be a wiring thing? it seems to me like it could just be an old unreliable window motor?

Very common to have broken wires in the door jamb

Spritz the Fuzzy fur Window channels every year or two with Silicone spray.
It really helps to get the windows to go up 'n down easily and smoothly.
Easy enough to try and it definitely will not hurt..

yeah thats actually a really good point, i guess it also wouldn't hurt to spray it on the rubber channels that guide the window down, next time i have the door panels off
