hello guys

this morning getting out of the car my window is stuck up so i can shut the driver's door due to the auto seal function.

thinking that it might be the switch pack i tried to lower it with the key fob function without any luck. then my passerger window got stuck down!

the passerger side has been getting prgressively slower so i think the motor was going out.

my question are:

• where can i find a lower cost remanufacture or non-oem replacement motor
  
• do i need to replace the regulator too? im not sure if that is the problem
  
• total cost if install it myself

much oblige to anyone that can help with some info

I got one refurbished for 150$ at advance auto parts with lifetime warranty. So i dont have to worry about paying for another oh yeah i had to bring my old one to get a discount. It should just be your window motor its pretty easy to change just follow the diy.

 

so was it like chain like autozone?

thank you

 

 

Don't replace it. Do this: https://my350z.com/forum/maintenance...-be-fixed.html

Took me a while, yeah, but the window will work forever now.

 

wow... getting in to the gutz of it!

im not sure if i have the time to dismantle it these days since i have a family and all now.

the easiest thing would go buy a pair of them from autozone for $300 and give em my units as a core.

how long does it take to swap out each motor? do u need to disconnect the battery? reason i ask is i have an eclipse head unit and everytime i disconnect the battery i have to call some outfit out in california reset the security code which is another PITA. ive already done this twice and they charged $20!

many thanks for link

It takes about 2-3 hours to swap a motor unless you've done it before. You do not need to disconnect the battery. If you get a reman unit from Autozone, they are going to fail quickly. They either use worn down factory brushes or they put in "new" crappy ones. I've heard of people going through 3 Autozone motors. I paid $14 shipped for my performance brushes and they will outlive the car. I understand not having the time, though.

 

wow.. going through 3 motors.... for now its my only option i suppose.

great forum guys!

 

Ive cleaned the motors about 4 times each, bought motors from advanced auto for each side. Now the drivers side is going again, might just bash the window to take out anger and call it a day. (changing/cleaning the motor is very easy)

 

4x each? u must be joking right? autozone is making a killing selling these motors...
