Default 03Z Driver’s Window Working Intermittently

The driver’s side window on my Z stops working intermittently. It also does not lower/raise that little but when the door is opened/closed.

I don’t think it is a fuse because the passenger side works fine.

Are there any schematics of the window circuit that could help me debug this?

I am hoping it isn’t the motor itself.

Thanks!

You can pull the fuse and see it if is blown, but if the window is working intermittently it will not be the fuse. A blown fuse and the window will not work at all. I would bet it if the window lift motor on its last leg.

The Z's (especially your early model "2003 350Z") are notorious for the window lift motor going bad. There is a DIY guide on the forum to get the door panels apart and gain access to the lift motor. It is a pain!

Hope that helps.
