Moody electric window...

Post by Doctor G »

Been having an intermittent issue with my driver side electric window lately.

Occasionally, it doesnt' want to work. When I push the button, I can hear a click click in the door, but the window doesn't move. I've removed the door panel and the click is coming from a little black (relay?) box inside the door. I can't see any loose connections between the switch and the relay box. Didn't want to tear out the plastics in the door, but I assume the motor sits in the door too yes?

So this morning for instance, window didn't work. (passenger window works just fine). Then lunch time, the drivers window magically works again. When it works, it works 100%, and when it doesn't, it doesn't at all. So it will either close all the way, or open all the way, and then stop working.

what gives?

Happened to me too, but I just cleaned the switch and then it worked fine again.

WRONG! The window motors (if you can call them that, they are infact psychic midgets) sit at the top of the A and B pillar and magnetically attract the windows up with the power of their mind!!! :P

Oh dont get me started! Those damn bees! The number of people that have been lost to their carelessness!

PS, the midgets feed off of reliability and hopes and dreams, thus explaining everything a S13 is about...

They have prize giving ceremonies and cheer each other on with a hearty applause. Most s13 owners refer to this sound as "lifters".

That explains why my lifters are quiet. My midgets don't work my window, so no applause necessary!

Thanks. we must test it out. I'll come by sometime. Then I can get that spin in the sr you promised too...!

Non working driver window is very annoying at access card points.
