Replaced the brushes in my driver's side window a while back. Got everything put back and did the reset procedure, and all was well for a few months.

However, for some reason I've found recently that it'll go down when I open the door, but won't go back up. Likewise, the auto up function doesn't work (regular up will work fine though), and when the door is open I can't put it up at all.

I've reset the motor at least two dozen times, so I know that's not the issue. Could the switch be going bad? Is there a way to test the switch without buying a new one just yet? And is there anyone in the md/dc area willing to let me try their switch if necessary?

 

nobody's ever had this issue?

yikes.

 

just wondering if, to test if it's the switch....you could just wire the driver side window motor to the passanger side switch and test

process of elimination and all that.......

 

I'm having the similar problem since I've replaced the brushes. I think their was a thread that someone pointed put that the male connector has a loose pin.I can't locate the thread anymore.

 

you're talking about the male connector for the switch, yes?

that could be a possibility i didn't think of. I'll get cracking on that after work tomorrow, thanks for the suggestion.

 

Yes on the switch. Let me know what you find out. I'll tackle mine this wekend.

 

checked all the pins (both in the switch and in the harness plug that goes into it) and nothing is noticeably loose anywhere. next step i suppose is to get a multimeter on it, but i won't have time for that until probably sunday. will post more as i know more. appreciate the help thus far.

 

As an update, I've narrowed it down to either the driver's side window switch, or the regulator itself.

The following are all movements that WORK:

Auto down via switch.
Slight drop when opening door.
Auto down via key fob.
Regular up and down (holding the button), door open or closed, while car is running.

The following DO NOT WORK:

Auto up via the switch, with door open or closed and car running.
Auto up via key in door.
Auto slight up when closing door from open.

 

Btt for fresh suggestions. I'm all out of ideas (and don't want to pay 200 bucks for a switch that may not be the problem).

 

I have this same problem on my driver door. if i auto up, the window goes up then back down half way. i heard that means the motors aboutt to take a poop on me

 

Thanks for sharing, but please take the time to read my entire post. You do NOT have the same issue described in this thread.

 

Z Enthusiast i have the exact same problem as you right now. om my drivers door, have you fixed your problem?

 

Only issue you have that i dont is mine auto up's when i close do. but sorry for misread.. and no i havnt fixed my problem yet. not gunna worry about it till it goes out lol.

 

one day driving heard my window sounded a little off. like it was dragging.. then it wouldnt go up for days and one day it went up. so got a motor... before putting it in i tested everything with multimeter. switch looks fine,regulator fine,motor even fine. so i put the new motor on try it out.. when door opens it pops down, but to far.. i did the sequence reset on motor switch down, then switch up..open door all while car is on. but when door closes it will not pop up and seal. i dont know whats going on! anyone familiar>??

 

I have the same thing. So what was the fix?
