http://www.ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/repair-topics/window-power-repair/replace-a-power-window-regulator

If the window motor is getting power, replace the regulator assembly.

If it's not getting power, you've got a broken wire--most often in the hinge area of the door.

Or, you've got a bad master switch

Power windows need help to go up down?

'Dragging' Power WindowsUsually when power windows operate very slowly, but can be 'manually assisted,' is an indication that the guide channels [sometimes referred to a 'tracks'] have gotten out of proper alignment.

This usually is caused by the screws/bolts which hold them in place becoming loose and the stesses of window movement push the guide tracks out of alignment.

To repair this problem requires that the door inner trim panel be removed for access to the interior of the door and that the guide channels be properly realigned and the mounting screws or bolts be well tightened to reduce the chance of recurrence.

When I perform this repair procedure, added security, I install a "lock washer" [either a 'split' lock washer or a 'star' type lock washer] beneath each threaded fastener.

What possible reasons exist for power windows not working on a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder?

Fuse ... switch ... short in wiring ... fuseable link ... window motor ... etc.

Electrical problems on todays vehicles are the mechanics nightmare. There is literally miles and miles of wiring inside a car nowadays. Finding a short or pinched wire will take hours, if not days to find. To make matters worse, some of the vehicle wiring is not accessible unless the car is taken apart.

Rear window won't move but motor runs?

Windows won't operate, but motor "runs"

Usually this is an indication that the mechanical connection between the motor and the window lifting mechanism has become disconnected.

You will need to go "inside" the affected door, and find the defect to correct it.

How to fix window switch in Dodge Neon passenger side isn't working?

Replace the switch. There are no "user parts" inside that can be repaired, and the labor to fix a switch will be far greater than just buying a new one.

How do you replace the electric window switch in a 1999 Mazda miata?

The electric window switches in 1999-2005 Mazda Miatas can be pried out with a flathead screwdriver after the center console is removed.

The center console can be removed by removing:

1. 1 screw on each side side of the shifter, covered by plastic screw covers

2. Screws in the center console

3. On 99-00s, remove the ash tray for the last screw

Remove the center console, you'll here a small "snap" towards the front that is connected to the dash.

Flip it over and you'll see how the window switch is attached with electrical harness.

By now, the electrical windows switches have become very brittle with age. It is not uncommon for the plastic tabs to break, that held the switch in place. This can be fixed by wrapping 2-3 layers of electrical tape just under the lip of the switch, which will create a nice, friction fit for it to be replaced.

How do you remove the rear door panel on a 1997 buick century in order to put the window back on it's track?

The rear panel can be removed by first taking out the blank panel at the bottom of the panel arm rest. It's a small about 3" long panel and it just clips out. This exposes two torx screws that hold the arm rest to the door. Remove those. There may be a screw behind the door latch also, but I don't remember. Anyway, those are the hidden screws. Once they are removed, the whole panel can be pulled off, it is attached with those slip in GM plastic fasteners. If you break them, don't worry, they are available at AutoZone, or about any other parts place. The panel will unclip and then go up to clear the upper clips by the window. The power window and lock buttons can also be disconnected by unclipping them from the panel, and removing the wires after opening the clip holding them on to the switch.

How do you replace a power window motor in a 2002 Pontiac transam?

I'm about to do just that, providing it's not some sort of limit switch, b/c, the window (dr. side) has a lot more play in it, pivots 2" to 3". My window will go up 2" and stop, if I wait 10 min. it will go up another 2"-3"etc.. So it may be overheating b/c of whatever. But regardless I'll let everyone know what and how I did.

Passenger side window stopped working on my Chrysler town and country?

How do you get the panel off the front passenger side door to replace the window of a 2002 Chevy Prizm 4-Door with manual door mechanics?

Buy the universal tool for removing the clip behind the window crank handle. It's about $4 at an auto parts store.

Also need to remove 2 screws at armrest. Remove the armrest padding by pulling up on it firmly. Remove the 2 Phillips head screws that are screwed at an angle into the door.

Pull the interior door latch handle to see the screw that needs to be removed. Slide the handle/plastic trim piece forward and pull the leading edge out from the panel to remove partly. Complete removal of the handle/plastic trim piece by disconnecting the attached rod.

Pop off the plastic trim by the lower front corner of the window.

Remove the panel by pulling straight out from the door along the perimeter to release the numerous plastic clips along the sides and bottom. A $6 investment for a trim removal tool at the auto parts store makes this much easier. Complete removal of the panel by lifting up and away from the window.

Can the zipper for the plastic window on a Mazda Miata be replaced without removing the top after it separated and then the closure was torn out in frustration?

well, you tore it out . How bad is it ? Your best bet is to find a hard top. You dont seem like the type that should have a soft top......... Not sure about the factory top, but based on my experience with the Robbins replacement top, the plastic window can be removed and replaced separately from the top itself. Replacement windows are available from Moss motors (miatamania.com) among others. This may solve your problem if the outer zipper teeth (the ones on the main top section)are undamaged You must remove the top assembly, including the frame, from the car. You do not have to remove the top from the frame however, which simplifies things. Here's a summary. I recommend consulting a shop manual and/or the Miata.net forums for details. 1. Remove the rear deck carpet. 2. Unbolt the spreader bars that run along the vertical section at the edges of the rear deck. They are clamping down a plastic strip called the "rain rail" 3. Carefully slide the rain rail off the studs that the nuts holding the spreader bars were threaded onto. It is somewhat fragile. If the top is more than a few years old, it will probably crack in a few places. 4. Release the front header clips on the top (the ones you fasten when you put the top up), but do not fold the top. 5. Remove the side trim panels that are just behind the seats. This is a multi step process that involves removing weather stripping, the rear brace bar (if fitted), and various fasteners and clips. Again, I recommend consulting a shop manual. 6. Remove the bolts on each side that hold the top frame to the car. 7. With the help of a friend, remove the entire top and frame assembly (unfolded) and set it on the ground. 8. You will now see that the window is a separate portion of the top. It is riveted to the rain rail (at the center), which is also riveted to the top (at the outer edges). It's only other attachment to the top is the zipper itself. 9. Drill out the rivets attaching the window to the rain rail. 10. If the rain rail is damaged in any way (which is almost a certainty), drill out the rivets attaching it to the main top also. 11. Fit the new window to the top using the zipper to attach it. 12. Now to the rain rail. Either: a. Replace it (approx $110, again from Moss), or b. Repair it using Pasco pipe wrap tape and latex caulk. The Pasco tape is like heavy duty electrical tape, but is 2" wide. It is waterproof, flexible, and you can essentially rebuild the entire rain rail with it. It is hard to find in stores but you can get it on the web. Get several rolls, it has a thousand uses. The latex caulk is available at any hardware store. You need it because the rain rail is polystyrene and nothing else will stick to it (including the tape; use the caulk to glue the tape to the rain rail). 13. Attach the rain rail to the top and new window using new pop rivets 14. Reinstall the top in the reverse order of removal. The spreader bars must be torqued in a sequence with some care. Info on this can be found on the miata.net forum.
