R33 Window Motor Is Retarded!

[RGR33]

Hi all,

I have been having heaps of problems with my window motor/regulator on the drivers side. I am unsure what the actual problem is, but i am considering ripping everything out and rebuilding with series 2 gear... will this work?

Here is what i have done so far:

1) window was not winding up or down- banging the door would let the switch work

2) eventually, it stopped working at all- i changed the regulator and it worked for a while...

3) now it winds up, but not down. I used my old regulator, took the shell off and press the reg buttons themselves on the little motherboard. This is the only way the window will work.

4) through all of this time, i can only wind the window down 95% max- if i wind it all the way down it gets jammed and i have to pull everything apart and get to the actual motor to push the teeth back on track so the motor will work.

5) window is very slow and now doesnt wind down at all at about 30% down, unless i push it to help it on its way.

I have taken everything apart, looked at the motor and reg and its wiring, and cannot see anything that should be causing a problem... im out of ideas!

So my next step is to consider an upgrade to S2 gear- i believe the Series 2 r33 window motors do not have that crappy little black regulator box that always screws up on Series 1's.

Thanks, appreciate any help/comments!

sounds like you got a good action plan going on already. my bet is when you change to another motor it will all work again.
