Window Motor Reset Button, Fact Or Fiction?

[Tricky-Ricky]

OK i have recently taken my window motor apart to clean the commutator, as it stopped working, and on replacing everything i found that the window was staying about 2"

down, so i used the reset procedure that posted on the US Infinity forum, which also seems to be the same as the 350Z reset.

Now to settle a difference of opinion, we have some people in the UK that disagree that this button exists, and say its just a blanking plug.

So what is your experience of this?

I've replaced both sides AND reset them using the reset button. Given the part number is identical for all countries and the part is also genuine Nissan I can only assume the button exists for all parts.

When i did the reset and held the button until the window went all the way up, i let go so i can then push the button but the window drops down an inch anyway.... When closing the door it only just closes the gap, at high speeds u can hear air coming in. Havnt been bothered to fix it as not at high speeds.... Any ideas?

Hi Mate,

Bought the 350 coupe a few months ago. When i first got it, if i pressed the button thats suppose to automaitically wind the window all the way up, it would wind all the way up and then wind down about 2 inches.

I read about the so called "button" and door my door panel off. after 1 hour of pulling all those black circle stickers off to try and find it (it ended up being the one right in the middle of the door) i saw what i thought was to be the button.

The wierd thing is it doesnt look or feel like an actual button, i kept pressing my thumb on it, but it didnt move in or give any indication it was a button or even doing anything. After pressing it in a few times and winding the window up and down, it eventually somehow reset and fixed the issue.

Just replaced the driver's side window motor a couple of days ago, the reset definitely worked for me.

Do tend to agree with jjjones in that the button didn't really feel like a button.

First off thanks to everybody who has taken the time to comment so far, be interested to hear further comments,

I an pretty satisfied that my window reset button works as its supposed to, although i do agree that it doesn't feel much like a button.

When i did the reset and held the button until the window went all the way up, i let go so i can then push the button but the window drops down an inch anyway.... When closing the door it only just closes the gap, at high speeds u can hear air coming in. Havnt been bothered to fix it as not at high speeds.... Any ideas?

The way i read the reset guide, and it appeared to work for me, was to wind the window all the way down, using to manual button IE not pull and let go,

and once down press and hold the reset button, while using the manual button procedure for closing, then let go the reset, and all should be well.

This should all be done with the door closed!

However if you have removed the motor or just the armature, and had to unwind the cable drum a little to take the tension off the motor drive,

i found that you had to rewind to the same position as removal or you end up with a window gap.

JDM models do have the reset button also. It worked for me. But sometimes you have to do it a few times before it fixes the problem. And good to know it's not just me that thinks the button doesn't feel like a button..
