Drivers Window, Electric Window Motor F***d?

[Ravenz]

Hi Guys,

I own an R33 and have been having some minor problems with driver side window. There is 1 really good thread on fixing this yourself on SA, I have been through it and pulled the door off a few times now without being able to find or fix problem. Currently my window is stuck in the down position and will not go back up.

I have checked the switch box and all seems to be in order, when i press the button, the relay box clicks for both up and down, giving this is the case, does this mean the switch box is fine and the relay box is fine, and the problem is the motor for the window? The window never sounded like it was struggling going up and down, it just suddenly stopped working. The passenger side is fine and in full working order.

If anyone can give me a lil more direction in this area so i can get whats needed to fixing it, its very cold and is raining a lot atm lol.

Thankyou.

Just because the relay clicks doesn't mean the box is fine. there could be a crack in the colder joints (very common problem) on the wire that goes to the motor after the relay. hence relay clicks but nothing happens.

either find the walk-through on here and crack it open yourself to check, or see if you can borrow a known working one from a friend.

alternatively, you should be able to put 12V directly onto the window motor. this is a little bit more technical and you would have to know what you are doing but it would be able to prove if the motor is working. i would try for those first few options first though.
