How do i repair my power windows?
Wednesday, April 27, 2005 9:09 PM
Well my left drivers side window is starting to mess up on me. Sometimes it doesnt move at all and im scared to roll it down because it might get stuck. Anyone have any tutorials on how to do it? And i can't get the little motor thing out.

I hope that helps. From the sound of things, you can put your door panel back on, clean the switch, and call it a day.

Good luck Jason, let us know how it turns out.

I would also like to vote to make that thread I posted a Sticky

Myself and a friend of mine replaced the motor on my driver-side when it stopped working. You have to drill out the rivits. This is a pain in the ass to replace too because you are working in such a narrow space.

Don't forget, his power windows are working on and off. I would think if it was the motor he'd have different problems. Window slowing down when opening/closing, motor noise, etc...

From what I gathered, his window is working, but not 100%. Which kinda made me think that the contacts inside the switch are a little crudded up, and need to be cleaned.

I think i have to replace the motor because sometimes it gets stuck half way and i have to press down and up so it will roll up.

Hmm I see...

Well keep in mind you can run into a problem with only one side of the switch too.

But whatever the problem is, good luck on the fix
