M35 Stagea Window Stuck Down

[scottnothing]

Hey Guys,

Over the last few weeks I have been feeling my driver side window stick a bit and this afternoon it stuck on the way up and isn't going anywhere. From my quick search around the forum it sounds like this is a common problem.

Does anyone know someone in or near Newcastle that can fix it?

Or how hard is it to fix yourself?

Thanks,

Scott

Scott had the same problem on my RS4 and it turned out to be the switch in the door, bad contact but the switch was a nightmare to pull apart and re-assemble, all the little balls and copper rocker pads kept falling out. Eventually the window failed altogether and this turned out to be a blown connector in the 4 window switch in the drivers door but an electrician friend soldered it and no more problems, don,t know if this is any help but if you do tackle it yourself take plenty of patience pills

Window switches are Hirohito"s revenge. Ask any Nissan driver. Touch wood, the Stag has never given trouble by all my R30 have shagged switches at some stage. Used to get from Nissan for $90 but now dont bother.

If the switch is stuffed an cant be fixed to get the window up a lead from a battery with probes and just go through the wires to the switch until the window closes at least you will have the security .

Looks like its the motor.

So now I have to source a new one.

Any ideas???

try Nissan first. make sure you get a part number for the correct motor (different door = different part number) and have it put through Parts Master to see if any models here use the same part.

if you do not like the price that Nissan quote, maybe try Jesse Streeter ("streeter" on here) as he offers a shipping service direct from Japan and is very good to deal with for anything that does not require a container for shipping.

Just make sure you have the part number for him.

motor is roughly $500 a corner. make sure you get the right PN. there are 3 differnet ones. chassis number will help and nissan can look it up for you.

Quite often the brushes stick...get motor out and tap it a few times to free up (concrete floor works a treat) plug it in and test it before re installing.

easier to replace it. the above method will have you pulling it apart again a week later.
