coco: Join the club mate its frustrating i know.

I bought my car almost 4mths ago, when i first got it everything was 100%. About 1mth into it the driver-side window would sorta work when it wanted too. I'd just give a gentle whack to the electric window switch/buttons on the driver-side door and it would "all of a sudden" start working again and/or open/close my door and it would work.

But now 2mths later my driver-side door just refuses to work (luckily its closed completely). I've taken the 2 little circuit boxes out and had a look at them, the 1 with the faulty switch has afew dirty looking solder joints on it which i suspect is what the problem is but im yet to find a replacement.

(Gonna try JustJap tomorrow when they re-open).

Fixed my problem today and it took me all of 20mins and $0.

The problem was 3 loose wires that connect to the black box motor inside the door frame. I put them back in and wrapped about 4 metres of tape around it to secure them in place then put it through its paces of about 30 up/downs and it didn't miss a beat.

:P

omg - well i kinda fixed mine... well sorta...

me and a buddy used an external 12v supply and connected it straight to the motor for the windows... wihtout doing so, the windows were pretty much locked down and unable to be moved up, but connecting an external 12v power to the motor allowed the window to be pulled up with alot of difficulty.

weird though, coz when using a multimeter to check to see if current was running through the existing connection, it showed a smooth approx. 12v or so. meaning that with all original connections there should be no reason why the windows dont work. so why the switch didn't work was beyond us? the window was only moveable when using an external 12v power source.

but anyway, my windows are now about 98% up, without only a few millimeters of gap for rain water to get it, but luckily i have the rain slats over the windows. :P

good thing i didn't take those ugly slats off... even though they're all sh!tty and faded. basically after all this bordem, my windows are almost up and completely stuck! at least i can park my car at places now. :D w00t~!

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
