Drivers Side Window Motor (button)

[MR33SOM]

I've been reading as much as i can so far on this problem that happens in most r33's and to no avail i still have a problem with mine.

it seems that my switch has slumped down and it keeps the relay clicking when the car is running and is starting to burn out the motor, my window goes up and down but only when i hit the motor and it seems to work, other times it just refuses to move at all, just the relay keeps clicking, any advice on how to go about this..

i really can't afford to take it to an auto lecky, i'd rather do the work myself but my question is do i need a new motor? im going to try chase down a 2nd hand switch, ive tried friends switches and still does the same thing, leaning more towards it being the motor. but if i keep the switch and buy a new motor and it fixes the problem most likely its just going to burn out the new motor i put in the car.

any advice on what i should look for, i hit the motor and it works.. then randomly stops working is just stupid, ive checked all the wires cleaned them everything i could think of kind of stuck at this point.

shit i pressed the add reply button b4 i wrote n e thin!!... ummm i yeah its a bastard of a thing!!!!.... i just spent last night and this morning on it... the black box next to the handle when u take the panel off is the teller if its the switch or sumthing else... the circiut board inside allows u to control the window... and it probably will work fine from there... so try takin out the switch all the way down to the electrics and u will find the 2 lil switches there... and if its like mine ull just need to replace the lil white switch thingy on it.... im still not sure where to get mine though... but yeah.. hope this helps..

ive pluged another switch in doesnt fix it, tried another box aswell didnt do anything, also have just taken out the electric board still looks alright both white things for the up and down move in the box, going to re-solder it tomorrow, so after that im stunned, and thinkin just going to buy a wreckers door and replace the whole lot...

bloody electronics!!... bastards of things... ummm... seeming u tried all that.. maybe it could be the motor for the window... however its 99% that its the electrics.. ummm... maybe try goin to a auto lecky and gettin a quote b4 replacing the whole door... ahh well... soz i couldnt be of much help

[MR33SOM]

ive re-soldered the whole lot to the switch and the relay box, didnt help so need to chase up another motor now, getting tired of shit breaking, auto lecky meh i'd rather do it myself than pay someone my wage to do it for me

[KK's-R33]

I have the switch, wiring and motor in syd. PM me an offer if ur interested.

I had the same problem, you just need a new switch.. Just purchase from the wrecker..

I had this same clicking sound and it did burn out the motor but I got zoom imports to fix the motor for me.. Make sure you get the switch fixed before you fix the motor because it will break again easily.. I think Zoom charge about $160 for this.

You're in brisbane right?

[MR33SOM]

nar im not in brisbane, about 3 1/2hrs drive, ya i realise its probably the switch that caused it, anyone you know of who can fix the switches?

[baron25]

mmmmm.... deja vu......

replace the motor, i had the same problem right down to the hitting the motor. Eventually it will stop completely. haven't had a problem since i replaced it.

mine sticks and clicks as well quite annoying isnt it. my switch gets stuck down if i pull it back up a tiny bit after winding the window down its ok. But yeah I will replace mine soon too

mine started playing up a couple weeks ago aswell.

have to repeatedly hit it for it to work.

was pretty funny when it started pissing down the other day and i'm getting soaked in my car hitting my door haha.

i got a window motor from alljaps vaginia for 125clams, and a switch from the for sale section. takes about half and hour to change the motor over then change the switch when u put the door skin back together again.

if u want more infor on how to get the motor out then send me a PM and ill try to explain it (its pritty easy).

Resurrecting this to add my experience with this problem.

I had the same problem with the clicking inside the relay box and no up or down with the window.

I opened the relay box from the connector end and checked the soldering to find one of the pins had cracked solder on the underside of the pcb board. Added more solder to this pin using a soldering iron and voila, window winds up and down.

If you're gonna replace the relay box, give this a go first.
