      Ground

    Is the voltage greater than 11 volts when the LH front window control switch is pressed; and 0 volt when the switch is released? 

    Yes  INSTALL a new LH front window regulator motor. Refer to Window Regulator Motor - Front Door . INITIALIZE the LH front window motor. Refer to Window Motor Initialization .
    No  If voltage was less than 11 volts when the switch was pressed, GO to  L5. If voltage was greater than 0 volt when the switch was released, GO to  L6.
  5. L5 CHECK FOR AN OPEN BETWEEN THE LH FRONT WINDOW CONTROL SWITCH AND THE WINDOW MOTOR

    • Ignition OFF.
