Ticking Noise From Drivers Side Door..

[Luckieee]

Okay.. it was ticking in my gts-t r33.. and since it was at night. i had my headlights on, while it was ticking (i had to put my ear on the door to hear it)

the lights loss a bit of power.. so it was like.. high power/low power ticking..

anyone know what it is o_O"

so what your saying is....when it ticks... it seems like its drawing power, affecting the luminosity of your headlights?

does your electic windows work? & if you have the automatic door lock...does that work properly?

sounds strange, the only thing that draws a bit of power through your doors is the electric window motor...but still...it shouldnt drain that much power to the extent of noticable lighting difference?

yep... in that case, sounds like your motors, f**ked!........... but a slim chance it can still be your switch.....

ok......what you need to do to confirm this.......

is to get say a 12 Volt battery............

hook 2 wires coming from each of the (+) & (-) terminals.........

you will need to open up your trim....... where the motors wire connects should be a plastic connection latch that connects to the harness from the engine bay....

pull the connection open........ it will show either a male or female side plug......there will be 2 wires inside the plug....

test it by putting (+) on one side and (-) on the other......

this will either make your window go UP.......... or DOWN.......

then swap the wires around......... this will make it do the opposite to the previous.......

(so there is no positive or negative on the terminals for the motor.....)

if that works the motor....then ur switch is f**ked......

simple as that.

and if that doesnt do it at all........then your power window motor is definately stuffed!

cause what your doing is...... bypassing the battery supply straight to the motor.......avoiding the switch....

let us know how you go. or ask if you got any more questions

How many noises/issues you have with this car??

Maybe consolidate them into one thread instead of starting like 4.

true

but this way i find is more efficient.......

you put it in 1 big thread........

every tom dick and harry with give thier 2 cents to the easy ones.....as usual...you'll have 20 replies but none of them would cover all of them....

..and leave out the hard ones or real technical ones...

this way your more likely to get all your questions.........answered.......
