Electric Windows

It's not on a track, the 1999 Regal windows have cables, therefore, you will have to replace the window motor.

Just had my son's door apart for much the same problem. Two cables attach to the window. One winds up as the other pays out and vise- versa. If your window only goes one way then more than likely a cable has detached from the window. That is what I found when I removed the door panel. .

not really

Actually, Chrysler made this task pretty easy because the motor sits between the inner metal door skin and the door panel. The ardest thing is getting the door panel off with out breaking all of the door clips.

BUT, first before you order a new motor or regulator (BTW,the cheapest price I found is on eBay) , disconnect the motor's harness and see if you are not getting juice at the connector. Install a voltmeter or light bulb between one of the two slots and ground and try the switch (make sure the ignition is on) then try the other slot to ground. If you get juice, your motor isn't working. Now let's check a little further: Cut off the plastic tie on the motor and remove the two screws holding the magnetic field housing and remove the housing exposing the armature. With you fingers turn the armature to determine that it is free. Lift up the armature so the the commutator is just free of the brushes. Take a Q-tip in some solvent and clean the commutator till the copper color is showing. Make sure the brushes are free to move and press the brush lead away from the motor shaft to allow the brushes to move forward as much as the can. insert the armature back into its original position making sure that the brushes are pushed back with a small probe. Next slide the field housing back over the armature and replace the two screws and reconnect the wiring harness. Now try the motor! If it doesn't work, you only wasted five minutes. If it does work you may have saved a lot. It may last longer than you need especially if you lighten up on using that window. It will usually give you warning of future failing, which you probably ignored before.

I just replaced the right rear window motor on a 1994 Taurus, which had rusted shut--the 1996 should be similar enough. I don't know if it's practical to try to fix a bad motor of this sort, and I doubt if you need a brand new motor (if they're still sold), so it's probably best that you buy a used one from a car junkyard (where you can also experiment with removing the junker's door panel, etc.). While performing this repair, keep in mind that the Taurus has a button on the driver's door armrest that can turn off power to the window motors on all doors, so make sure that button isn't flipped to the window lock position. Removing the plastic panel from the door will break the 11 or 12 plastic retainers holding the panel to the door, so if you want to reattach the plastic panel to the door in the proper fashion after you're done, buy replacements at an auto parts store. If the 1996 is like the 1994, the replacement retainers carried by Kragen are part # 454750, which is a box of six--get two boxes, since you may need 12 retainers. • Unscrew and remove the doorlock plunger. • Remove the two screws that hold the plastic panel in place: one behind the door handle, and another one elsewhere I believe--you should be able to see it easily. • Next, you'll pull the plastic panel off the metal door. You may find it handy to use a long flatblade screwdriver or similar tool to help pull the plastic retainers out of the metal door. • Once you've removed the plastic panel, you may find it easier to continue if you unplug the electrical cables between the plastic panel and the door, to allow you to set the plastic panel aside. • You should now be able to see the motor inside the door. Remove the three bolts holding it in place, then lift out the motor and unplug its electrical cable. • Plug the replacement motor into the electrical cable coming out of the door, then squirt some WD-40 or similar lubricant around the edges of the motor gear disc. Then make sure the replacement motor works properly, by pressing the window up/down button on the door panel, to see if the motor rotates. If it rotates properly, install the replacement motor. You'll need to mesh the replacement motor's gear teeth with the gear teeth inside the door, which can be tricky, requiring you to press the up/down button several times to rotate the gear teeth inside the door into the proper position, and you'll need to apply some force to push the motor in place, until the teeth mesh and you see the window go up and down as you press the window up/down button. Once the teeth mesh, reinstall the three bolts that hold the motor in place, then press the window up/down button several more times to make sure everything works. • After you've replaced the motor, replace all the broken door panel retainers on the inside surface of the panel, then push the panel back into place (making sure each retainer goes into its hole on the door), then reinstall the panel's two screws, then the doorlock plunger. • Drive down the street with the repaired window motor rolled down, singing or yelling, so everyone can see what a great job you just did.

You must first take off the door panel, by removing all door panel screws. Then you have to remove the two lower bolts that hold the window in and remove the window. Then you must drill out the rivets that are holding the power window motor in place, unplug it and remove it through one of the holes in the door ( remove the plastic covering) For re installation it is a bit tricky, have to transfer a couple parts onto the new unit with screws or rivets, and putting the window motor in, you need big rivets or possibly short bolts but they are hard to get in. Then plug it back in and put the window back in, and do up the two bolts that hold the window on. Good luck.

spray silicone spray along the window guides. DO NOT SPPRAY WD40.

The motor is attached to the window actuator and must be installed as a unit. there are several parts houses that carry the part. It seems that you are a bit of a back yard mechanic who hasn't really had an opportunity to get to really know your car. With the door panels costing over $400.00 dollars to replace if you mess one up, I suggest you take your vette to a trusted mechanic to do the work.

Check out this web site www.cflwindowregulators.comthey can help you.

first you must take the door panel off . take out all of the screws then use a screw driver to pry out the corner of the panel, pull the pannel off. then unbolt the window from the track. tape the window up to get it out of the way. unbolt the track and motor. they are sold alreday assembled as one piece. Bolt the new motor and track in place screw the windoe back on to the track put the door pannel back on and you are done.

Blown fuse. Also in the driver side door in the wire harness there is a ground wire if that ground wire is broken non of the windows will work. this is a common problem with this year i have fixed mine at least twice.

Maybe its your driver-side window regulator that stopped working.

In the fuse panel located in the drivers side. Too bad this won't fix your window regulator problem which you're having.

My MB E430 had same issue with all four windows after battery was temporarily disconnected to resolve another issue. After checking fuses and determining none were blown, I investigated and learned that the power windows on a MB need to be re-sync'd after power interruption.

I would recomend getting a chiltons manual from your local auto parts store, so you will know the exact location of the door panel retainer clips, and screw locations, even the best mechanic will end up breaking a clip he didn't know was there. I would also highly recommened buying a (trim puller) from your parts store it should only cost a couple bucks and it will remove the plastic clips without breaking them as a screwdriver most likely would. In case the guy at the parts store is an idot, the trim puller or trim remover is usully found around where they sell screwdrivers and wrenches. It looks like a tiny spatula with a gove cut in the middle, the thin flat spatula slide under the door panel and the grove squeezes the two release tabs on the side of the door panel clips.

I have a 2000 and have the same issue. Could be a couple things:

1 - the window motor and regulator no longer function properly (good chance just replace them and you will be fine)

2 - it is off track and may just need a slight nudge and some wd40

3 - your "scissors" and gears are worn down and bent and need the whole things to be replaced (hopefully not it)

The first step involves removing compleletely the door panel. Running the lower half and bottom are screws covered by approximelty one inch plates that pop off. Also screws in the arm reset and plate of the door handle must be removed. After removing all the screws holding the panel and poping the panel loose, it is puched upward and toward the rear of the vehicle. The entire window regulator is replaced as a unit. as simple as this piece looks it will cost over $100.00 dolars. The existing regulator is held in place by three hexhead bolts/screws attacged to the door and two hexhead attached to the lower porpotion of the window. After removing the screws, work the regulator out through the upper rear hole just below the door lock. The new regulator is replaced through the same hole. Be aware that it takes some time and patience to get the regulatlors in and out of the opening. IPY in Fresno

If you go to the kia home page and log on to kia owners, gop to service inforamtion and then to the shop and put the info of what your looking for in the search box and it should pull up all kinds of inforamtion for you! hope this helps

Since there's not enough info for a specific answer, here's the first thing to check.

You say windows, meaning more than 1 not working - if none are working that would be the fuse for that whole window circuit. Check the fuse box in the driver area, and the fuse box in the engine compartment.

That's the first check - because you really don't just "fix" them without knowing what's wrong with them.

Your cheapest repair is to replace the entire antenna unit with a new one. There are many aftermarket units that will work on this car. An OEM unit will be very expensive. Check with your local Auto Parts Stores. You could also look in a Salvage Yard for a used unit.

Replace the regulator (most likely problem). Make sure you check the small plastic gear that moves to push the window up or even with a egulator change the window will go up crooked.
