Power Windows

[eddied316]

I've been having a problem with my driver side power window, that gradually gets worse.

The Window has a hard time going UP. It goes DOWN fine, but when you hit the switch to go up, it starts to, then seems like its losing alot of power and gets really weak, then 6/10 times, it just stops, midway up. Then if you wait a couple mins it goes up a little more, and stops. Like it almost has to "recharge" or something.

Do you think it's the:

Switch
Fuse
Power Window Motor

I'm thinking the motor, because my other window (Passenger) goes up and down fine.

Thanks for the input.

I can't say with 100% certainty, but I'd bet on the motor. The same thing happened to my '03. I've got a couple of motors if you're interested. Brand new.

I'm going to look around at the yard, when I go tomorrow.

Okay. You shouldn't have much trouble finding one. Get the regulator and all too.

i had this happen on my 03 as well, driver, passenger, back passenger. it's def the motor. the front two i replaced the motor, not the regulator, and the back one i got to go up all the way then pulled the motor out. screw my back passengers, lol.

LOL I hear ya'. I've got a coupe so I only needed the two anyway. I was lucky though, my extended warranty paid for the whole repair. That alone made the warranty worth it.

Yeah, my 02 kind of quit all at once, 300 miles from home. I did manage to get the window closed by pulling on it while it was going up. I just replaced the motor, much bigger job than the whole thing. PITA either way.

^yeah trying to pull the regulator out that little hole in the door, and drilling out all those rivets and shit. that sux.
