Can I get a manual window door from the salvage yard and replace the power windor door on my 1988 chevy c1500 that doesnt work?

Is it vacumm control. Or is there something blocking the door open

it could be the switch on the door . or the window motor itself most of the time its the motor. the motor is located in the door

the cheapest way to replace your window motor would be to go to a salvage yard to get the replacement. they are not very hard to install the hardest part of the job is removing the door panel without breaking the clips that hold it in place. just slide a big flathead screwdriver in between the plastic door panel and the metal door frame and twist the screwdriver that way the clips wont break on you.

salvage yards will likely charge you 100 - 500 depending on door options such as power locks windows mirrors and somtimes color

do a search on inet for online salvage yard invantory search '

sounds like a reley go to salvage yard 5 bucks

power windows will not work on driver side; what can i do to get the windor up until i find a replacement part

be 1988 and Im sure it has high miles, sound like worn transmission, transmission flush and replace it with new fluid might help some. get use tranny from a junk yard better and cost lot less than rebuilt. being GM mechanic for many years i see transmission on a truck with 100k tend to have leaks or need rebuilding. again i see some have better luck but rear.

There should be a couple of screws on the arm rest that you need to remove and probably one on the door handle then you need to find something to pry the panel off with, without breaking the plastic clips. They make a special tool for this that you can buy for just a few dollars at any auto parts store. If attempting to do it without the right tool be careful not to break the clips.

If you look at the fuse panel there are two silver 30 amp fuses on the right side or there should be. they are in the blocks marked POWER with the arrows pointing to the right. One is for the windows the other is for the power door locks. Not sure which is which try both hope this helps.

If you all have not already solved the problem here is my experience with the same probleem. If all windows began to work intermittently and you can control all from the drivers side door panel it is often that switch panel that has gone bad and needs replacing. You can generally find one at a salvage yard inexpensively- this is a relative term as comparedf to a new OEM switch mind you.If the problem is consistent with one door/window it is often that switch that has gone bad. If you are handy with a multimeter you can test the lead going to the motor to ensure that you see the same results on the multimeter as you do in real time connected to the motor. If there is no inconsistency it is possible but rather unlikely that the motor itself is at fault. Motors generally fail all out or within a very short period of time once displaying any symptoms.
