replaced door latch.. now window doesn't drop

Replaced the door latch yesterday with a good known used latch. Now today I noticed that the drivers window doesn't drop when I open the door anymore.

Any thoughts?

You can try this:
Instructions

  • 1 Insert the keys and turn on the ignition. It does not matter whether you start it or not.
  • 2 Put the window all the way up (if you are able).
  • 3 Press and hold the window switch in the up position for 10 or more seconds. Do this with the door closed.
  • 4 Open the door to make sure the window drops as it should. Close the door to make sure it goes back up again.

If i remember right, the window can be "reinitalized" by holding the switch in the up postion for 6+ seconds....assuning everything is working right. Think the dealer told me to do this first if i ever had odd windo operation, like no dip.
