How do you fix power windows?

Answer 1

Answer

First check the fuse, then use a test light, with the ignition key on, to see if the switch has power (if not replace the wires to the switch or try to find the break in the wire), then check if the plug to the window motor has power (If not replace the switch). If those are good, replace the window motor. Pop out the center of the rivets with a Phillips screw driver and a hammer (it doesn't take much). Then use some bolts and nuts with a flat washer on the bolt side and flat and lock washers on the nut side. they should be just long enough to go through and hold it (if they are too long the window regulator will bind on the bolts).

First put a flat washer on the bolt, put through hole, hold up the window motor onto the bolt, flat washer, lock washer and nut, leave them all loose until you have them all in, then tighten until the lock washer is flattened. You may want to buy a few extra bolts washers and nuts, they are easy to lose in gravel or grass. Also, you may or may not have to replace the window regulator with the motor. Some motors are bolted to the regulator and some have pressed connectors.
