Default New 350z

Hey guys, just got my new (to me) 350 last Friday. Im psyched. Only one flaw that i can see. The passenger side window won't go up or down. The switch seems to work cause i hear a click from the door every time i operate any of the two switches in either direction.. Motor? Relay? fuse? help

Thanks.

Will post pics soon.

Congrats on the purchase. You don't mention what year you purchased but the problem you describe is pretty common on '03s. Hope you have warranty left.

Nah if its clicking its probably the window motor! Slam the hell out of the door a few times and try rolling it up and down. Works for mine till I have time to drop it off to get a new window motor.

sounds like you got a performance if you have VDC and no leather.

Congrats, did you purchase a warranty?

Nice Redline Z I see what you mean that is a boss 350Z. The interior looks really nice it doesn't seems to be the pleated black and red thread factory leather or seats. That seems to be smooth leather and I like it a little better then my factory pleated seats, you barely can see the red unless you are in person. But that is a nice looking 350Z, mines is a 2005 350 Touring Redline.

I like Red and Black which I think is Classic Sports Car colors. Silvers nice also.
I like all the colors on the 350Z except the new orange.

Gratz, glad to see somebody else is willing to get the tickets to drive a red Z. I chickened out and went black.
