Default Z start having couple problems...

1st: my driver seat can no longer reclined.. (probably regulator)
2nd: my driver side window no longer roll up or down (sometime it work but dead most of the time, probably regulator too)
3rd: last couple weeks, in the morning when i started the engine i hear a loud noise like those old car when they turn the wheel all the way.. really high pit noise from the engine (i turned the engine off and restart then it'll be fine)

anyone know any problem or experienced anything like this before? the window or engine?
anyone know anyone with good price window parts?

thanks

The 3rd problem sounds like a loose belt.... just my guess.

Well the seat is most likly a cable if you have power seats, possibly the motor but most of the time the cable stretch's, or breaks. If it is going up and down sometimes it could be the motor, the window switch itself or something electrical. Usually when the regulator fails it does not work at all. As for the noise could be a belt, pulley, or something along those lines. you could try and put some lube on the belt before you start it next time and see what happens.

1. Motor.
2. Motor. 2003, 2004, 2006 all those Z's I had a problem with motor. Some odd reason it's the driver side? Maybe cause it's used more than pass side?
3. Time to check on your belt.
