Driver Side Window

[vuey28]

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!

Does it still sound like its going to click? Means motor is still working.

Could be the bolt which connects the window itself to the regulator.

And couldnt be regulator too..

New regulators are about $125 from nissan.

this happened to my r33.. it's called a regulator and it might be rusted badly from years of driving in the rain..

u can just go to any auto shop and get them order u a new one in and replace ur current thing

auto electrician. took mine to one, they just pull out the motor, clean it or whatever and put it back in. works again now... only cost about an hour labour...

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:

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 .. 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..

[vuey28]

Ask a mechanic to look it up for you

See what he/she says then just go home and fix it yourself

Im planning to buy the motor and just replace it myself (hopefully it would not be to complicated)

but yeah i would suggest that

try opening up your relay and cleaning it before you spend any $$

same for the 34s..........although not as bad, but there is a significant difference in sound quality with windows down or up.

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
