Hi guys, my drivers side power window does not work anymore, its stuck halfway down and for the life of me i cant figure it out.

The switch works, and the passenger side works fine, both from the drivers switch and passenger side. I have taken the switch out and played arround with it, i can hear a noise coming from inside the door when the switch is in the up or down position but it does not move. Last night i got in the car, and the window went all the way down by its self, then halfway back up again and is now stuck half way up kind of. It has happened to me, twice now that the window has moved by its self, and gotten stuck last time i just decided to start working again. The issue has been ongoing for about a week now.

If anyone can shed some light on this or how to fix it, would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Alex

This seems to have been asked every 2nd day this week... My guess would be the relay box (inside the door panel) has some crappy solder connections. Happened to me, twice. Happens to a lot of people.

You can take it out and try to fix the joints if you're handy with a soldering iron, or if you're lazy (like me!) go to the wreckers, they're about $75-150 depending.

I think S1 and S2 are different.

I had a similar problem where the window would stop at certain points and I'd hear a clicking noise, I could help it all the way up by hand. I changed both the regulator and motor and now it's perfect again, took only 30-40 minutes to swap out.

S1 and S2 are only different in regards the switch loom plug and the S2 (and S1.5 I think) won't have the relay that S1 owners talk about repairing.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
