Passenger window motor, no rest button
I attempted to reset my passenger side window motor on my 2003 350z touring and ran into a problem. The motor is refurbished and works fine and has been working without an problem for about a year now. Only problem is that the auto up feature will end with the window going down about halfway after it gets to the top and the opening and closing movements of the window don't work. I know that a reset will fix these issues (I previously had someone put the window motor in and he didn't perform the reset procedure). I pulled the door card off and peeled away the black sticker to reveal the reset button and it is not there. There is just piece of the motor visable, I can see the gear inside the motor but no reset button. I am not sure what to do here, where could the reset button be?

well i was supposed to have someone look at this today, but it fell through. Can you explain to me in more detail what I should do here. Im just not sure how this is going to help with the reset procedure. I looked at some pics of a window motor and the button just seems to be missing on mine, is there anything i can do at this point.

An 03 and you want to reset the motor? That isn't the issue. You could back in the day clean it and re install but frankly you're looking at a replacement. Pep Boys has a less costly version of the factory part, but since you're able to get the door card off, you should be able to replace the motor. Use some tape to hold the window in position before you get all into the repair. It was a TSB along with the window smears in an 03, but you're on your own.
I'm CERTAIN there are several threads where folk show you how to do it.

Yea i took off the right one, where the reset button should be there is just a hole. I can see the gears inside the motor in the place where the reset button should be.

My advice is replace the motor again. If the reset button is gone it sounds like the motor is not in the best shape anyway. Just get one with a lifetime warranty next time.

Right. Auto up goes all the way up, then down part way. Then you manually put it back up. That's the warning sign the car gives you before the motor completely takes a dump and you can't move the window at all.
