i think it may have been covered by archaeic bloke, and by the way good effort mate!!!

anyways just wanted to add my experience. I had a 1990 r32 gtst once, and the drivers sinde window started working intermittently and sometimes not at all. However, when it was not working it would make a 'click' as you press the button but nothing would happen.

Anyway, i had to take off the drivers side door trim (not hard) and then locate the (what i think is) amp. Its a small black box tucked away amongst the door metal. Since i then needed to get into this box to look at it, i had to cut it open at one end with a stanley knife. you can then pull the circuit board out. Upon looking at the board i could clearly see that some connections had come apart. SO it was a simple matter of re-soldering carefully and then putting it back together.....and it all worked perfectly again!!!

So...if you have the 'click' happening but no upy/downy action then the answer may well be the circuit board in this black box.

goodluck!

if you hear NO clicking and NO whirring (my situation) then you're not getting power to the system.

that's whats happening in my 34, i want to get it fixed but wasn't sure what the problem is, money is hell tight, last night was pulled over and got a defect warning about them, im going to go out and look at fuse shortly, my side mirrors are working ( is that a different motor altogether or does it use the same one?)

i've noticed this happening with a lot of 33's but have not noticed any 34's, to PM them and ask.

Thanks for the awesome input guys! However, my drivers window goes up and down like it should. My passenger window goes down just fine but will not go up using either switch. If I hook power up to the motor then it will go up AND down just fine. Any ideas?

I hear the click for the drivers window in the window amp but not the passenger.

Same thing, just in the opposite direction, no? The motor will go in one direction when you give it power one way, the other direction when you give it power the other way. If it will go one way and not the other, it tends to suggest that the switch that controls the connection of those + & - wires to the motor is up the shit, no?

Generally (or at least usually) with these things, you need both switches (driver's and passenger's) for the passenger's window to work, because they are both in the circuit. When one is giving trouble, the other one can't make the window work.

Makes sense, I’ll try to clean the switch contact or just order a new switch.

    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
