testing the motor is pretty simple, there will be a 2 wire plug that goes to it. Apply 12v (eg from a battery) and it will go down with the wires one way around, and up with wires the other.

finally got some time to try this, nothing.

 

cant even hear the motor making any noise

 

same to assume motor is done, if so how to remove it now is the question lol

yeah if you are certain you connected the motor's terminals properly to a battery (both ways around) and no movement, then the motor is dead

im having trouble finding a good guide for s2 passenger side window motor removal

You don't need a guide. Just start taking the door apart. You'll soon work it out. Not to mention that the factory service manual will have everything you need.

do you know if the whole window regulator needs to come out? or can I remove the motor without removing the whole regulator system

On an R33, no I don't. To be honest, I don't even know if you can get just the motor out on an R32, and I'm not at home to check my R32 workshop manual (or the R33 one that is there, either).

I have a couple of spare R32 mechanisms in the shed, and just looking at them (or, in this case, the memory of looking at them!!) suggests that you probably have to pull the whole lot out. But I shouldn't imagine that it's much more work anyway.

I got around to removing the whole mechanism, replaced the motor and everything. wasn't the problem, still not working, window still moves down, but not up, switch looks fine don't think its that, went to check the window relay as that seems to be a potential issue, assume it would be on drivers side door so I removed everything and checked and it's not there, do you know where its located on an s2?

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
