when i roll my passenger side window down at times, it gets stuck. in order for me to fix it, i have to open the door, and slam it hard. then it gets unstuck. sometimes it gets stuck, and sometimes it works fine. another time when i tried rolling down the window, it got stuck, but then i didnt do anything about it, and the next day, it got unstuck by itself. whats going on?? anything to do with setting your car on base (stock base)?? how much is it to fix this??

 

Usually, when a fix involves slamming or hammering on something, I'd be on the lookout for a loose connection, bad ground, or something like a stuck switch.

i had the same issue.. it's the motor.. when you slam the door the carbon build up inside comes loose due to impact which will make the motor work temporarily.. i used to hit the switches really hard thinking it was the problem..

 

Early signs of a bad motor..........

 

I had the same thing. I kept hitting the door (where the window switch is at) or slamming the door.

but i got tired of it. took the whole door panel apart and tested the window motor, and yep. it was out....

so you need a new window motor.

 

Beside these 185 posts this is the first I have heard about it.

+1!!!!!!!!!!!! learn how to search and your problems will vanish into thin air!

 

is it hard fixing it yourself? or is it recommended to do it at a dealer? does it really die down every year or so??? the window problem is only on my passenger, and my drivers side works perfectly fine. so i'm guessing theres a window motor on each side..... ehhhh i guess ill have to hold off on putting an alarm system and tints on the car

 

Just had my pass side window motor replaced a week ago after it died on me overnight... Driver side was replaced about 4 months ago after working occasionally then completley dying... under factory warranty I only had to pay my 50 deductable twice, they said it usually runs 3-400 to replace.

 

is your car still under warranty? if so, just bring it back and have them do the work.. if not, cleaning the motor is easy.. i'll do it for 6 pack

 

its just cleaning the motor??? or replacing the whole ... uhh battery?

 

cleaning the motor would be a temporary solution.. works if you dont have extra $400 dollars laying around.. expect the motor to give out again after a yr

 

you can get OEM for 99 bux, easy to replace..

 

i hate how our car's can break so easily -_________-. my trunk latch just gave out yesterday. sigh.

 

tell me about it.. i recently moved to hayward and got a commuter car (i work in san jose) havent been driving the Z, within 3 weeks my airbag light came on... then the window wont work.. and yeah.. im on my second oil pressure sending unit.. just this weekend its out again...

 

This Is Happening To Me Is This Covered By Warrenty?

 

this is covered if you car is within the 3yr/36Kmiles i believe.. but call your dealer.

 

how the hell is this not something they fix by now. they put the same crap motor back in!! some website has a "heavy duty" motor....would this be worth it?

 

When you say easy to replace. Is it a matter of buying a new motor, taking the door panel off and plugging in a new motor? Are there adjustments that need to be made for the drop down feature?

 

after your install... do the reset procedure.. refer to the full thread posted above for more info..
