Default Window issues

Daughter wrecked my truck. Replaced driver side door. Originally electric window and lock. Replacement is manual. Now passenger window doesn't work. Was power fed from drivers door? If so how do I get power to that door so window will work?

Please always tell which truck, year, type, engine etc. you got makes it easier for people to help

But to help you answer your question: Did you check for a blown fuse? And google for a power window electrical diagram so you can find out if they are linked.

The drivers side door window switch had the power to the passenger door window, it will have to be bypassed at the driver side "switch" as that no longer exist.

I've googled several diagrams and have come up with several diagrams that have nothing but lines no color coding, component list or key. Would you have any idea what wires/need by passed or a good diagram?

I'd suggest pull the switch, and check for battery voltage, probably the battery voltage came from the driver side.

If it were me, I would convert the new door with manual window and door lock to electric. I would use as many of the parts I could salvage from the damaged door and get the rest from the junk yards or buy new if I had to.

if the original door harness is ok, plug the old switch in and hide it somewhere else so the passenger side will work
