Give it an 1/8th to 1/4 turn in either direction. Once its all the way into the housing rotate it again to line it up with the screw holes.

 

just reseted my window! thanks for the help

Problem was when i used the auto roll up...it goes up then goes down like 2 inches. problem solved

 

Gotdamn is anyone reading that write-up that took me 2days to put together? I practically spoon fed the instructions. Kinda feel like I should just erase the damn thing and let everyone figure it out on their own...

Don't let it get to you. Most people probably do a search, find this thread, then post without reading it. We can always just link them to your thread, its alot easier then combing through this one for the info.

 

I found a local electric motor shop that was able to replace the brushes for me. It cost about 60 bucks for the carbon and the labor. The place primarily works on alternators and large DC motors. It was located in Chemlsford Ma.

My driver side window has been acting up for months now and the stealership wanted 464.00 to fix it. I cleaned it out today and so far its working like a charm.

 

bump for those who can't search...

 

Dont erase it. If I ever have to fix one again I will be right back at your great post.

BTW - I worked on mine a while back (4 months maybe) and it is still working great. wish i would have had your instructions 18 months ago.

 

It's not going anywhere.

It wasn't on the viewable pages in this section, so I had to search and bump it so others could see. I needed this thread so I could figure out the part #'s for the motors. I was able to identify the part#'s and url links for both passenger & driver's side motors, from Autozone and Advanced auto parts. I posted the info on the 1st page of my How-To thread up top....

 

my driver side window makes a ratlle noise everytime i close the door when the windows is lowered, i know i have 36k miles warranty so far i put 26k miles. i went to the dealership about the window problem and they said they only cover the windows for 12k 1 year, and they charged me 100$ dollars just to look at the problem and test drive it does this make sense to you guys?
thanks in advance

 

anyone? please help?

 

 

Wow, this thread just saved me lots of headache. My driver side window stopped working yesterday and today I see this and today I took apart my door and cleaned the motor. Now everything is back to normal. Thanks OP.

 

12k/1yr doesn't sound familiar. What does the owners manual say under the warranty section? So, they charged you $100, and did nothing? What did they say was the problem? Doesn't make any sense. Also, this doesn't sound like a window motor problem, so this is probably the wrong thread to post to.

 

yes it's not a window motor problem, they noticed the problem when they open and close the door and it sounds like the window rattles, and they said there is no warranty for the window noise and that i only have warranty for the powertrain so they charged me for test driving it and take and i guess their time, i think i will go see another dealer the one near me sux.

 

man do you guys know when the warranty expires? mine is still under 36k, damn nissan sucks bad with the electric system in their car, my driver side now wont go up...... always hear ppl complain about this, now it happened to me, my honda, toyota never have window problem.... nissan needs to do better on their ****, it is not that hard

 

definately take care of this before your warranty expires or it will cost you some $$...approx $700 to have it done at the dealer with no warranty. even if you choose not to take it to the dealer you will have to find a shop or someone to repair or replace the motor and that will cost $$ as well...approx $300.

 

The repair itself is easy and comprehensive instructions (with great pics) are in this thread. The other cool thing is that, if you get the motor from AutoZone, even though it's a "refurbished" motor, there's a lifetime warranty. It was about $145 6 months ago when I bought mine. Unless it's under warranty, don't let the dealership touch it.

Besides, the Nissan warranty is only a year and it's more than double the price (FTL.)

 

i thought they covered for three years...i would rather do it myself anyways since the car seems to always get f'd up at the dealer. for sure, i need to do my right side window now....dyi style this time

 

What I meant was, when mine broke and I priced getting a NEW replacement motor from the dealership, they wanted $330 and it came with a 1 year warranty. (I'm not talking about the original manufacturer's car warranty. Mine had expired.)

I just mean the "New" replacement motor from Nissan is only warranted for a year and the refurb from the Zone is forever.
