2001 MPV driver window will not work how do I know if it is the motor or switch and is it easy to repair?

I have this same problem and thought it was the switch because it was buzzing when I pressed it. I went to the dealer to get a replacement and he said that he's replaced hundreds of motors, but never a switch. Pig-headed as I am, I ordered the new switch and installed it. Turns out, the parts manager was correct. I'm in the process now of analyzing the job of replacing the motor. I looks like just a few bolts and an electrical connection, but it's hard to tell w/o the manual b/c everything is behind sheet metal once the panel is removed.

I have a 1997 Ford Taurus with power windows and I can't get the windows to roll up What is the problem?

My rear passenger window sometimes gets stuck in the down position.

To roll up the back window I need to SLAM shut driver side door really hard.

The driver side door has the master panel for all windows. Sometimes the master switch button for the rear window gets stuck in the down position and by slamming the door it cause the back windows switch to pop up to it's normal position.

This is only a temporary work around and does not fix the problem. My car is 1995 and I have doing this procedure for the past 2 years. It works for me and I no intention on getting it repaired permanently.

How do you replace a power window motor in a 2000 Camaro?

this is something I need to know as well... I have R & R'd power window motors before. pretty simple really you just have to find the trick to getting your door panel off without breaking any of your connectors holding it together. most that I have taken off disconnect from the bottom of the door and have to slide upwards to be removed. In some vehicles the connectors absolutely have to be replaced; I don't think this is one of those models but it is not that expensive to replace them anyways so it would be a good idea (annoying squeaks and rattles from these can drive you crazy).

I do not know if there is any steps that are different from normal power window R & R's

if there is... please... do tell

How do you fix a power window on a 1990 Camry that rolls down but not up?

the track may not be align and its binding somewhere inside. you have to remove the trim and the plastic water seal so you have a better view. if you can roll your window manually the better but first you have to disconnect wiring harness from the power window motor. if not just try to roll it up and down using its own switch and check where it binds do the necessary adjustment. check also your window gasket maybe its the culprit. goodluck.

How to fix a power window on a 98 Toyota Sienna?

I have removed and repaired the window motors on our Sienna van. Remove the door handle and and I believe there two bolts to remove before pulling off the inside panel which is just a pop off proceedure. I can't remember exactly how to remove the motor but it is fairly clear. Once the motor is removed take it apart and solder the circuit braker contacts together. If you are not comfortable with soldering, take the motor to a repair shop and have them do it. I have done both motors in our 98 and have had no more problems. This is somewhat vague but it's been awhile.

Sounds like it is your window motor drive box. I have had to repair three in my 95 Maxima. There is no longer a good bond between your rubber isloation wheel and the output drive. This is the part behind the round aluminum cover adjacent to your electric window drive motor.
