Does anybody know where I can get one besides the stealership? They want $560 just for the window motor...

 

are you outside your warrenty period?

 

there is a "how to" on how to fix it....have you tried??? im pretty sure VO wrote it up...

also, ya, other sites do sell them..i believe i remember eyeballing the 170 price range...

yes..warranty is done..

I tried fixing the motor. The brush on the motor that makes the contact is gone...i don't know how..it's a 3 year old car and the window motor is ****ed...my 95 maxima beater is all original and haven't had a problem with it..

 

Been there done that.

When I first cleaned my motor, it lasted a season or two. Second time, it lasted a couple weeks. My advice to anyone thinking about cleaning their motor is don't waste your time.

To answer the original question, you can buy a genuine nissan motor from ebay for less than $200 including shipping to Canada.

 

You could try these guys. They are selling them new for $190 US.

i also did the cleaning once and the motor has since started to act up again.

guy on here selling one

 

I bought mine from nissan from 420...go to partsource...I think they have em for 190 and they have em in stock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

whoa what a rip. mine is the passenger window, mine just acted up this saturday and was stuck on the down position this morning so i was freezing on the way to work

 

partsource doesn't carry it...

 

that sucks, i normally buy genuine products but damn. the oem part is soo expensive. hoping theres and alternative

 

I had the same problem with my 03. Went through 5 or 6 of them. The last one has worked fine for 3.5 years.
If your window is down. hit the door panel at the bottom with your hand. It should jar it enough so that it will work to get it up.
Lots of experence with that.

 

I did the clean and it worked for a month or two, and it's acting up again. So I'm gonna buy a new motor. I'll probably try ebay or that concept Z place.

 

hitting the panel while holding the switch worked for a bit. I cleaned it up and the brush is pretty much gone..so will need a new motor.

 

I just recently got my passenger door window replaced. it would randomly go up and down or simply stop working. Took it over to the dealership, mistake number 1.

$450 for the part
$100 to check to see if the motor was the problem
$100 to realize it was the motor and replace it

$650 just to get burned, Priceless!!! ARG!

Thinking about it makes me cry.

 

Mine also goes up and down Randomly as well. Not all the time just sometimes. Does it happen first before the window stops working? if so, normally how long do I have?

Better fix this before the winter is comes that is for sure!

Sorry to hear about the above price. Next time take it to Edvy he will take care of it .

 

At first I didn't really give it much thought. I would push the button and it would go back up. So it really didn't bother me. Murphy's law...it really bothered me when it went down during a rain storm, but stopped working.

I wish i knew Eddy back then. Awesome guy!
