Driver window won't go down

Hello again , check fuse , replace the driver window switch and nothing so I remove the door panel , disconnect the motor and apply direct power and motor check good ,, when I push the switch I can hear one of the relays clicking but I have nothing to tell me wish one is .

Thank you for your inputs
 
The large black module under the left rear seat is the convenience module, which receives the signal from the window switch, and turns on the window motor. The click you hear is probably from this module.

Do all other windows work normally? All fuses good? Etc.

yes they do , the click is the fuse box where the relays and fuses are , starting to do it reason I got a new switch
 
You can use the Electrical Troubleshooting Manual (ETM) at the link below to trace out the circuit. If the switch is triggering the relay, there may be a problem either with the relay, or the wiring between the relay and the window motor - assuming fuses are good.

Hello , remove the l/r seat and you are correct , click is coming from that convenience module , I replace it already ( used ) does any body repairs them ? , thank you
 
The convenience module is not a common failure. It's pretty unlikely you have 2 in a row that are defective. I'd trace the wiring between the module and the door motor. New modules are still available but not cheap at nearly $400, and it may not fix your problem.
 
Hello , after checking all the wiring according by the wiring diagram I tried to find the module local with no luck so I check on line for inventory of 124 in local wrecking yards so I went to Pick a Part in Monrovia Ca and I luck out , found the comfort module the looks very new steel in the car , install it and everything is working again ,,, thank you very much for your inputs . Carlos
