Strange.

My passenger window cannot be rolled up with the passenger switch, but it will roll down with the same switch

However, I can roll the passenger windown UP and DOWN from the driver side.

Mystery to me. Thoughts?

 

The window motor is going out. Typical problem for Z's

 

Hmm, I thought maybe it's something electrical (like the passenger switch)

I mean... if the motor is going out, shouldn't both driver and passenger side switches not work?

 

Well I thought so to but my bro had the same issue in his and we replaced the passenger side motor and it fixed it.

 

I'll bet on the switch too - unless there's two motors in there - one connected to the passenger's door switch and the other to the driver's switch.

In order to change out the motor you've got to take the skin off the door and step two or three of that effort is to remove the switch from the wire harness. Check the connections from the switch to the harness but it's more likely that the contacts have just worn out.

I'd check the connection first and replace the switch secondly. You can short across the switch contacts and by pass the toggle to see if the wires and motor work.

 

I figured out my window AUTO roll down problem. First you should try cleaning it with electric motor cleaner as in the DIY thread.

I did that and it did nothing.. I bought a new motor, still nothing..

Then I had an epiphany and looked at the window switch Male prongs for the connector... I discovered 1 was bent and not going into the female side I then took some needle nose plyers to straighten the prong and cleaned the window switch prongs with Electric motor cleaner, just a slight spray and plugged it..... BAM!! Its perfect!! It lowers again when u open the door, and doesnt automatically fall when u close the door....

Im going to post this in all the window threads to people can check there connectors too.. It could be happening a lot... No need to pay a dealer 500 for bs....

Side note: I noticed where it did bend the prong that female hole on the connector is smaller than all the others which could deflect the prong easily if not careful.... Leading to our cars being ****ed up by dealers techs etc. Then we discover the problem later.

 

Not strange at all. Solution: AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts, $160 for the motor, and about $20-$40 for labor. Lifetime warranty.

 

Thanks everyone. It turned out exactly as mentioned... stupid connection on the passenger switch.

Curious... how many wires do you guys have going to the Driver side master window up/down switch? I noticed one the prong in the switch has no wire going to it.

This is to say that the harness has 1 less wire than the switch. Is this normal?

 

Yes, mine is the same way.... I noticed that too..


Im so glad I helped u.. I know its prob happening to thousands of Z owners and we are getting taken advantage of..... Raped by stealerships for thousands of dollars!!!!!
