Check your wiring. I know that these trucks have that problem mainly with the passenger side but I'm sure it could happen to the driver side as well. See what happens is they run the wiring through the door near the hinges and when you open/shut your door it wears the wiring causing it to short. My passenger side doesn't work with the passenger controls but will work on the master controls. I will be fixing mine here shortly.
Not uncommon, the master window switch on the driver's door goes wonky. Mine had same problem (2003 1500 4.7L long cab) and simply replacing the master switch fixed both bad passenger switch intermittent problems. Easy swap, cheap at the dealer.
Check for a broken wire(s) inside of the weather boot that runs between the drivers side door and the body of the vehicle, and also for a broken wire at the wire connector to the master window switch on the drivers side door. Any broken wires that are found should be soldered back together well and do not use wire connectors. If you need to lengthen a wire be sure to use the same gauge wire as the one that you are trying to repair.
CHECK FOR BROKEN WIRES BETWEEN DOOR AND DOOR POST..THERE WILL BE A RUBBER BOOT IN BETWEEN DOOR..WIRES TEND TO GET BROKEN IN THESE FROM DOORS OPENING AND CLOSING..THIS WHERE I WOULD START LOOKING
Check wire loom coming through to door at hinge end of the door from pillar, and see if you have power going that far to switch. Not uncommon to find a worn, cracked, or broken wire in that loom where it bends constantly with opening & closing door.
I would look at the switch, did you check just the drivers switch only? Check the switch at the door also. If it goes down, then the motor is good and the switches just reverse the polarity.
I had the same problem with my 2005 dodge ram 3500 and found the wires were being pinched that run through the rubber boot on my right rear door. I had this fixed by dodge but there splice didn't last, so I took some 16ga wire and spliced it into the wire that operates the power door lock on that side and it fixed the problem. Dodge service shop did a sad job of splicing the wires back together by twisting the wires together and tape and wire broke.
can be the switch or motor take off the door pad and then hook the switch back up and see if you have power to the window motor more than likely it will be the window motor but check it first, thanks and keep me posted
If you have already replaced the passenger side switch and it still doesnt work its a good chance that there is a pinched wire in the door itself. However usually it wont work from the drivers side either. But I still suggest looking there first.
