I have an 03 Touring. The driver window just stopped working one day, I never heard the motor labor or make any odd sounds. Every once in a blue moon it has rolled down, and then I was able to roll it back up. Once back up, it rarely came back down. Totally intermittent functionality.

Last week it went down, I rolled it up, it rolled it self down... and this continued for a while.

Now it's down and not moving. The switch clicks and nothing happens. I have a feeling it might be an electrical problem as even the keyfob when I held down the unlock button, only the passenger window would roll down. I assume the remote command is translated independent of the switch.

I really want to fix this but I don't have a whole ****ing day to leave my car so they can take my door apart and claim it was the motor. I dunno.. it sure opens and closes fine, and sounds fine, when it actually works.

Anybody ever hear of anything similar? What could I do to fix this? I have some directions on how to reset the motor, but I don't know if this is the problem.

 

Have you tried cleaning the motor/regulator?

I don't want to hijack your thread, but my problem similar, so hopefully someone can answer both our questions:

I just got home from work, and noticed that when I opened/close the driver's side door, the window wasn't raising that last little bit to seal, or coming down when the door was opened. I know my passenger side motor is slowly on its way out, and will eventually have to be replaced, but I've never had a prob with the drivers side, and it's shown no signs of wear (sorta like the OP's window).

I opened the door and actually rolled the window back down, then back up, and now everythings working perfectly. Is this a regulator problem, or a motor problem in its beginning stages (my passenger window has never done this)? Any advice for the OP and I?

^Thanks man. But just curious for input as to whether this is actually worth ripping my door panel off to fix, not just how to fix it (thankgod for those guides though).

 

Thanks for the link stereoneeds.


I think I am going to just order a new motor and replace the whole thing vs. cleaning it out. If I take that whole door apart and put it back together and it happens again within 2 years I'd cut someone.

 

Just had this fixed on my 06....refused to go up one day....that and my rear axle was clicking....long story short they replaced the motor and it works fine now and the lubed both my rear axles with some special grease ...Nissan has a TSB on it

Good luck with yours

 

Yah I am sure I need a new motor.. Im out of warranty though.


Hahahaha I just went out to my car for the hell of it.. and got in closed the door and punched it... then it totally rolled up I heard it whine and go up.. and then whine again when it got to the top. See... punching electronics can be useful. I wish I had known to punch it two days ago when in started raining on my ***!

My ghetto *** Mitsu eclipse with 122K miles still had the original window motors, never an issue. Boo on Nissan for this horses#!t!

 

Seriously all you need to do is clean it and follow what that thread says

Mine got to the point where yours is right now....that every time I shut the door it made some weird screatching noise. I just cleaned it and it works perfectly no need to waste your money man.
