Ive been looking around this site and found numerous post about driver side window problems. My car has also fell victim to the window nightmare where it is now unable to go up or down anymore (unfortunately the last position it was left in was all the half way anyone can just reach in and open the car and take my sound system and gear knob if its a hobo. kekeke. sorri.). Im gona assume its the motor. Anyone else have this problem? My car has not been driven for like 2 weeks caz of this problem. Bloody miss driving my baby. Thank god I have a garage. If not man it would have been flooded with rain or stolen whichever comes first. LOL.

Anyone else think its something else? or have any solution say away or know of any auto electrician who wont charge me trillions and trillions of money and thats just for the motor. LOL. Anyways Thanks for your yuummy time.

tO bE COntiNued... HopEfUllY! :lol:

I expect your usual mechanic should be able to diagnose and fix the problem themselves if you are not able to rather than having to use a specialist electrician

I've had 4 different problems with my power windows (on the proton of course)

1. Motor

2. The wire pully thing came off

3. Something else (current problem) - motor works, wire is fine but its not going up straight.. falling to one side all the time

4. The actual switch

The first two times, I've just taken off the door panels and found out straight away what the problem and the last time I was just sick of doing it so I got my mechanic to chekc it out, cost me next to nothing too

PROTONS ROCK!

Sorry for the delay

Thanks everyone

My relayer (black box) thing clicks everytime I push the up or down switch for my window but nothing happens. So your saying its not the motor but the regulator? ill give it a check today with the mechanics. I always thought it would cost alot to repair this things. Thanks all. Ill give you the end result of this endless battle to open windows. :lol:

laters

Mechanic found that the motor was gone. He tested by supplying power to the window by removing the motor or something ill just cut to the chase i gota now go get a motor for it. Anyone know where to get one cheap. Thanks for your time again.

:(

also having window problems too.. again :O .. when the window is fully up and ya press the button to move it down, it drops slightly one way, then the other, then goes down fine.. seems to do the same thing on the way up, but not drop oviously.

also wile im on about the windows.. if i dont have the windows all the way up and i cose the door, they rattle and makes that 'cheap car door' noise..

any ideas? im thinkin the regulator guides mite not be holding the windows firm, and for the droping one.. i duno, cause ive had it fall off the regulator once b4 and fixed it by screwing the bolt back on and lock tighting it.

from experience, the cheap car door noise happens with all r32s and r33s with their windows not fully up.. :O

;)

I just finished replacing the regulator and motor

cost me $175 for them

Anyways my windows work now

thank you everyone for contributing your advices

Hope those who suffer same problems find solutions too

I wont feel happier until i fix the fuel vapour leak

lol

but till then ... its an endless journey of fixing and maintenance

    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it  
    • Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!
    • Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
