Today when I went to make my window go up, about halfway, it stopped. So I took it back down a bit and brought it back up and I could hear the gears inside slipping and slowly but surely, my window made it back up. Would this be that the gears are loose? Or is the motor going bad? It's the driver side window, if that's relevant.

most of the time it is just a worn out motor, but it is worth opening up the door and removing the motor and bench testing it. That will eliminate things like wiring, relays, battery/alt issues. Then make sure everything inside the door is lubed up nicely, sometimes the tracks and runner dry out if you have a faulty window seal or something

Or a bad strand of wire. Thats my ordeal now. Wire in the twist decided to snap, going to replace that soon. For when you guys do get around to changing out the motors, cables, etc....here ya go I'll save you the trouble of having to search.

I had the same problem before. Window would get stuck going up and down in certain spots. The problem was caused by a fray in the regulator cable. I replaced the whole motor/regulator with one I found in a junk yard and it solved the problem.

See, there ya go, pop the door panel and actuate the window while looking at the cable. If its birdcaged or you have a strand broke, you know what your problem is off the bat.

Does this only happen when its cold outside? If so, my passenger side window does the same thing. It will move terribly slow, sometimes it stops, and then it takes a few minutes before it will move again.
I'm wondering if something like grease is freezing??????? -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊

There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.

I haven't tried it again since Saturday because I'm a bit worried that I won't be able to force it up next time LOL That would be a good explanation though because I NEVER noticed any hesitating from the driver's side window, it was perfect. And then one day it was all THHHPPPPT. And it has been unusually cold here lately... so I'll check again.

I haven't had time to check anything in the door panel, but I tested it today because the weather has been getting warmer and it went up and down, but around halfway up, there's a slight grinding sound. But it actually goes up and down again lol

But it actually goes up and down again lol The cable is probably fraying and it will work for prob another 3-6 months but after that it will lock up and the cable will be about done. Thats what happened with mine, I'm finally just about to replace it in time for spring! |
