i have a 2003 touring 350z the driver window starter to acting up this week.the problem is that when i close the door the window auto shutter or what ever it's called isn't working ,when you close door the top of the window hit the car and the door close the window doesn't sill just bends out a little

 

the window regulators in the Z are problem prone. They all break down eventually.

 

Mine just started to crap out too. With the door closed and the window down, I use the auto close feature and it comes back down almost half way.....hope my factory warrenty is not dead yet!

 

Whats the mileage of the car tywinter?

 

About 25k. Talked to the dealership today...warrenty ran out in may. On the bright side, they told me that there is a reset switch inside the door. I will try it before I pay any dealership service prices.

 

I had both motors go out on me. Pretty sure everyone and there mom will have there motor go out.

 

Just had both my motors replaced by the dealer, but not because they went out on me. I had the grease strwak problem and they just decided to replace both motors.

 

I tried that on my window too. It worked for like a week but its not a pernament fix. Now my window is dead.

 

my pass window doesn't work no more only the lock button works =(
stupid nissan

I think its a matter of heat cycles maybe. After 2 hot summers, they started to show signs of failing and eventually stopped working all togther.

 

where is the reset button for the window regulator

 

I have an 06 with 4k and no summer use and my passanger window stopped doing the drop when you open it. Goes in on Tuesday.....the service guy tried to tell me there is a setting in the PCM (PCM????) that controls this....LOL.

 

tywinter let me know what happens i have the same problems

 

The door panel was easy to take off. 1 screw , under a button cap. Then 2 screws under the switches (the handle and switches will pop out as one piece). The button is hidden under a round sticker (there are 3 to look under).

It took me several tries to get it right, the dealer said to lower the window, hold the button in, raise the window (without using the auto up feature), let go of the button, lower the window (without using the auto down feature). And that is it.

I expected to find an electronic type of reset switch. All this button does is line up internal plastic gearing of some sort (I could not resist tearing it apart). Reminds me of my old 280ZX. It had a voice recording that told you different things like "door is ajar". I found the source of the recording and it was a vinyl record.

 

I took my whole door apart. Cleaned the motor and did the reset. It worked for one week. Hope yours last longer.

 

I have reset it 2 times since my last post. I give up and will need to replace the motor when I get a chance.

 

I cleaned mine months ago and its still working

*knocks on wood*

 

What are you cleaning the motor with? Inside and out?

 

^^^ +1, maybe I cleaned it wrong.

 

you can run an electric motor under water with no harm done, as long as you dont submerge the copper looms/ brushes under water.
