The exact cost to replace an electric window motor varies slightly by the model of car. As of 2014, the average cost for this motor is between 35 and 55 dollars.
I would try the window switch first , but if you are going to replace the switch then you will see how to replace the motor. You would have to take the door panel apart after that its easy.
Your window might not go up and down because the motor in it is bad. First check the swithches then if they have power you will need a new motor. I would run 12 volts directly into the motor to check it before I would buy a new one or replace it.
Possible causes. 1.Bad Fuse 2.Bad Motor 3.Bad Switch 4.Window has slid out of its track If the window rolls up to a certain point but stops then it may have slid out of track and is hitting a rubber or plastic guide. In the event of the window sliding out of its track. This can be confirmed by looking down the seal of the door with a flash light. Try to roll the window up and see if its hitting anything. It may be something else but it seems these are the most likely.
Very difficult. I would leave it to a glass shop.
Horsepower is horsepower, so a 16 hp electric motor could, on the surface, replace a 16 hp gas motor. Things to consider, however, include RPM and torque. Gas engines are inefficient, to replace a 16 hp gas engine it would take only a 8 hp electric. standard closest size would be a 10 hp. I have done this several times on air compressors and hydraulic pumps.
You would need to remove the window regulator, and the motor. Replace them both and drill a hold through your door panel where the crank will come out.
Most are pretty easy and straight forward, just take the inside door panel off and the motor is usually sold as a whole assembly with the track and folding arms. A garage would probably do it for the same money as an oil change minus parts.
Most likely the window motor is dieing. If you want to replace it you can. It is not easy but it is possible to fix. Remove the door panel. Find the motor and drill out the rivets or get the old motor out by any means necessary. Unplug the motor Bolt in your new window motor and plug it back it. Before you replace the door panel, turn your car back on and make sure that the window motor is working. If it works replace the door panel. If not check the fit of the motor and the wiring. takes about 3 hours your first time if you have all the tools you need and know how to get the door panel off.
well I've got this same issue on a VW Polo and I'm going to release the 2 window glass clamps, even if I need to cut an access hole to get a spanner on them, and then drop the entire window mech and cables, repair/replace the motor, then (on the bench) make the motor "drop the window clamps" to the half-open position, then replace the mech in the door and drop the glass back in and clamp it up. I'm tempted to just break the glass window and drag the whole mech out. The window it not too expensive, and it would save having to unclamp it from the mech. fingers crossed GC United Kingdom if only they would use decent kit in the first place.
No, the entire system is on one fuse so all the windows would work or none would if it was a fuse. It is much more likely that it is a problem with the window motor.
If you have an electric window, you may want to go back to the dealership where you bought it as they would know the best way to deal with the motor, track , and what type of glass to use.
Yes it would be unlikely an electric motor coincidentally exactly matched the resistance of an electric heater.
