You have to access the motor to test it but it probably is bad. The brushes in the botor hangup a lot and when this happens it quits.

What causes a Chevy silverado to not start but still has power and makes the temp and fuel gauge go back and forth?
COULD be many things; check the easy/inexpensive ones first; bad/loose plug wire. Clogged fuel filter. If you totally depress the gas pedal and hold it down while cranking, the fuel that may be collected in the cold-start injector will drain - SHOULD even start if the problem is a partially clogged filter.
What should be checked if the power sliding side doors fail to open?
First check fuse. replace if blown. If fuse is not failed ... Then listen ear to the door while someone actuates switch to hear if motor makes noise as if struggling. If makes noise but fails to open the door, then either motor, or an obstuction in door track could be problem.If no noise, then most likely electrical connection or failed motor or switch itself is issue.
What Is A Reduction Gear Starter Motor?
Its a starter that has a set of gears between the motor and the starter pinion which allows higher-speed, lower-current, lighter and more compact motor assembly while increasing cranking torque.
Left the overflow cap off and now my car wont start it didn't overheat. All the water came out. What could the problem be?
I learned from bitter experience that it doesn't take longto overheat and toast a motor, especially if you tried toput water/coolant back in while it was still hot. That willthermal shock (read that as kill) a motor real quickly.If the motor still turns over, GOOD! Refill the coolant to the proper level,check the oil level and fill if necessary and try to startit. If it does start, keep your eye on the car for awhile tomake sure all is well. drive conservatively. If itdoesn't start, see your mechanic.

How do you repair a driver's door power window on a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am SE that will not go up or down using the window switch?
In some cases, all you need to do is hit the inside of the car door with a rubber mallet. This causes the brushes in the motor to make better contact with the armature and make the window motor run. You want to do this while holding the power window button in the up or down position while hitting the door with a mallet. It may take 2 people to do this!!! If this does not work, then there are either problems with the switch or the motor. Easiest fix is to get replacement parts from the junkyard!!!!

Your 1995 4runner rear window will not roll up or down you can't find a fuse for your power windows or doors but the rest of your windows work does this sound like a bad motor?
Yes. If you're talking about the tailgate window, the problem most likely started because the regulator (the part that transfers the power of the motor to the window is rusted so it can no longer move. Sometimes the motor can be salvaged; and simply replacing the regulator will do the trick. Before you replace the motor, you might want to check the window lock button. I accidently pushed it once while cleaning my 92 4Runner. The rear window would'nt come down and I thought it was a burnt out motor. I then discovered the lock button had been activated and after deactivating it (pushing it), the window worked fine.

For additional information, refer to Rear Window Motor Initialization in this section. # Fold down the passenger rear seat back. # Open the luggage compartment trim panel access door.# Remove the spare tire jack and handle assembly.# NOTE: The rear window glass water shield uses a reusable butyl rubber adhesive. A new water shield does not have to be installed unless it is damaged or if the butyl rubber adhesive does not adhere to a section of the sheet metal. Position the carpet aside and position the water shield back from the rear window glass motor to access bolts.# CAUTION: Use care not to damage the drum housing when removing the rear window glass motor. NOTE: Apply pressure to the drum while removing the rear window motor to avoid extraction of the drum with the motor. Remove the rear window motor. ## Disconnect the electrical connector. ## Remove the bolts. ## Remove the rear window glass motor.# NOTE: The rear window motor must be initialized after a repair is carried out. For additional information, refer to Rear Window Motor Initialization in this section. To install, reverse the removal procedure. (PASTED IN BELOW) == CAUTION: Make sure that no obstructions are present in the power rear window system when carrying out this procedure. NOTE: The rear window motor is in error mode when shipped and will be inoperative until initialized. NOTE: This procedure must be carried out when repairs are performed on any part of the power rear window system including when: the power rear window motor is removed from the window regulator drum housing, a new power rear motor is installed, a new power rear window regulator is installed, a new power rear window glass module is installed, and any operation in which grease or lubricants are applied to the power rear window system.

How to raise the driver side window to have room to remove the power window motor in a 2000 Mazda MPV when the motor is seized.?
Completely remove the inside door panel. Since the window is down, the two screws that hold the window glass to the regulator should be easily acessable. Remove these two screws. Disconnect the regulator from the window glass. Push the window glass up to the very top. A bungy cord can be used to hold the glass up while the motor is being removed. Hook the bungy cord to the top of the door. Hook the other end to the bottom of the window glass.
Window won't go up on g35 Infiniti?
Most likely the window motor is failing. Hit the center of the door liner with your fist while pushing the switch to raise the window. This will only work a few times. Replace the motor.
How do you troubleshoot motorized windows in a car?
First try all of the windows up and down. Write down exactly which windows do not move in response to a switch. Mention whether they fail with the driver-side master switch, the switch by that window or both.If the window is up and can still make a twitch up when you hit an up switch than you know the motor and its power is OK so your list of causes is cut down significantly. Even if the motor does not make the window twitch listen carefully with the engine off and the ignition on to hear whether there is a hum coming from the motor while you hold the switch down. Again that indicates power and that a switch is OK but doesn't say anything about the motor itself.

How do you repair a 1998 Firebird power window that is stuck about have way up and the motor just hums?
The F-body motor is notorious for dying. The replacement costs about $50 from an auto parts store and will probably take an afternoon for a first timer. Remove the door panel and take a drill to open up holes in front of the rivets on the motor. Procede to drill out the old motor then replace it with your new one and screw it in. First you want to get the window up, if you can. If the motor actually hums, then press the button while pulling the window up, if you cannot get it up, then you are going to have to be extra careful not to harm the glass while taking the door apart and replacing the motor.
