'98 Sonata Power Windows
 

I posted the topic "Sonata Power Window Lift???" a little over a year
ago; the responses were, for the most part, unrelated to the original
query. Now, we have a related, but somewhat different problem, and we
would be most appreciative of any advice you all can provide.

We obtained a window regulator for our 98 Sonata through a Korean
company that sells new parts on eBay (they were very helpful and
cooperative) at a much better price than we could get locally (either
new or used). After installing the new regulator in the driver's door,
the window did not operate (this is the 5th one of these that I've
installed, so I know the problem was not with my installation
technique). The window had been fixed in a slightly down position for
several months while we shopped for a cheaper regulator, etc. and we
assumed water leakage from rain (yes, it does rain here in PHX once in
awhile, even though we just broke a record for days without), coming in
the window and leaking into the switch in the door panel.

We bought another switch panel from a salvage yard that was from a
Sonata with about 40K miles on it and they said it worked fine (it
looks like new), installed it and the window still does not operate...
All the other functions of the switch panel work fine, so we are
wondering, is there something we are overlooking in getting this window
to work properly?

Has anyone else run into a problem like this? Any suggestions on
things to look at or consider would be greatly appreciated.
