R32 Power Window Regulator

[WAN73D]

hey kiddies

my drivers side window now works intermittently. AND i have searched here in the forums. this has lead me to believe it is some faulty electrical contacts within the regulator (lil black box inside door trim with AMP written up top). The thing is the guys here have said that they just open this up and clean and re solder some joints.

I'm asking...how exactly do you just open this up its a closed plastic box...do i cut it??...and which way is best

anyone with experience....help would be appreciated

FYI i am at the moment cutting it width ways along the join that is there from the factory...still quite deep and i'm worried that i'lll cut into a electrical contact or something

ok guys.

i think i've fixed my problem so i thought i would post back how i did this. no surprises, its no different to what's been posted before.

i just cut the regulator (AMP) box width ways around the existing line. The circuit board then just slid out

i Then inspected the board to find a small...only tiny break between one of the plug solder connections...just cleaned this up and added some solder.

This tiny break was like microscopic....no wonder so many peoples regulators are dying

hope this helps any of u with windows trubs....worth a try before you book it into mechanic who'll charge big bucks for nothin.

peace out
