Electric Windows

If it is just the passanger side don't bother with the fuses. the wiring does go thru the drivers side and then to the passanger side. Use a voltmeter at the passenger power window motor. If you get 12V to the motor it is probably bad. If you don't have 12V at the motor the wiring to it is probably bad. Make sure you didn't accidently turn off the passenger window switch at the drivers side door.

If it is a stick, it could most likely be the clutch master cylinder or the slave cyliner. Check around the master for any leaks. Also, check the transmission itself and the clutch pedal in the cab. If there is fluid on them, that is probably your problem. Another thing could be the clutch pressure plate. If it is an automatic, check the transmission fluid and consider a transmission service.

well whats the problem you freakin idiot, i got a question for you, how do we read your mind?

it depends if it is the switch or the motor, get a repair manual from a part store.

I had the same problem in my 1992 Honda Accord LX and it turned out to be a little plastic guide for the window cables that was broken. All you need to do is carefully remove the door panel, and look to see if the white plastic cable guide is damaged (approximate size 2 x3), if it is, unscrew the damaged piece and take it to your parts store to have them order a replacement part. Replace with new part, replace door panel and off you go. I hope this helps a little.

Type your answer here... window switch may be defective.Try changing it with rear drivers side switch,to diagnose that posibility.Plug on switch may also just be loose.Wiggle the plug or unplug it and replug it to check for bad connection.pry switch cover at front and it will pop up.

A 2001 Ford Ranger has a 20 amp (yellow color) mini fuse in the power distribution box in the engine compartment for the power windows. It is in location # 12 The owner's manual recommends disconnecting your negative battery cable because the PD BOX IS 'LIVE ' (Helpfull)

Yes

Check power to window switch. Common cause. Check power to window motor. If none then check fuses/relays.

if you mean the glow plug light on the dash ,mine was the cam position censor easy to replace and only £22 from ford

Does power reach the window motor?

Yes it does, now I found that when you activate the unlock switch to the rear windows (allowing passengers to use) the relay gets hot. when you lock them out, the relay works fine. The motor and power to the windows lessons when the lock is unlocked.

Is there any binding if you you move any of them manually?

Here are complete step-by-step instructions (with photos) on how to test a power window motor to determine whether the problem is in the motor/regulator or the switch/wiring

I've fixed a couple - all on GM products.

You have to first find the source of the problem - there are about 4 possible sources: (not given in any particular order)

A) no power (+12V) to any of the power windows. The easy one here is from a fuse - check that first. Could also come from the wiring between the fuses and the main switch (located in the driver's door). Haven't run into this yet, but it's possible.

B) Bad switch. If a passenger window is the problem, there are 2 switches involved - the 'master' and the 'passenger' switch. If the driver's window works OK, it may be the passenger switch. Usually, playing with a bad switch will get the window to work - a little bit.

C) Bad motor. Had one of these. After replacing a switch didn't solve the problem, replaced the motor w/ built in gearing. (In hindsight, the tired motor may have damaged the switch, since the switch appeared to have overheated contacts.) The window would go down, almost all the time; but it wouldn't go up. Pulling the glass up by hand, and waiting between attempts, would eventually get the window closed (not something to do in a rainstorm!). The motor would run, kinda, but didn't have enough umph to raise the window. I bought an aftermarket replacement for about 1/2 of the dealer part price. I found that I did NOT need to do all the teardown (this on a 96 Astro van) the factory repair manual said! Just drill out the old rivets, unhook the electrical connector, (after removing interior door panel, etc.)connect the new motor, and bolt the new motor in place. Note that you'll need to get the window glass most if not all of the way up (somehow) to do this.

D) Wiring problem between the switch & motor - had some of this with an 85 Suburban. Check for this, before replacing the motor. Wiggle the wiring / connectors while attempting to operate - if something happens, inspect wires / connectors closely.

This is not an easy job I suggest taking it to a garage.

Get a new regulator, and, you need to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.

ITS SHOULN'T BE JUST A FUSE IT SHOULD HAVE A CIRCUIT BREAKER TOO. THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OPENS IF YOU HOLD THE SWITCH TOO LONG. ITS 20AMP ON MOST CARS THAT I WORKED ON. ITS IN THE FUSEPANEL ON MUSTANGS. GOOD LUCK PAUL G

The power window relay on a 1994 Ford Mustang is in the fuse box. The power window relay is silver in color.

The fuse or relay for the power windows on a 2000 Chevy Suburban is located in the fuse box on top of the battery. Unplug the old relay and insert the new one.

I have a 77 classic and openned both door panels yesterday (8/2/05) to troubleshoot a passenger window problem. Found the right side motor to be burnt-out. If you have a DC volt meter you can put one probe on the brown wire of the motor connector and the other probe to ground; when you actuate the switch you should get a 12volt DC reading. If the meter swings opposite try revering your probes. This will tell you if you're getting power to the motors. If not, work you way back to the switch and then the feeds, to the fuse. Good luck. pembrokegm@aol.com

check on eBay for a power window motor. from what i have heard its only 1991 -1994 mercery capri only

this is a cavalier we are talking about this is a tipical problem,try hitting the door panel,or remove the panel and hit the motor directly garaunteed the switch is fine its the window motor that's the likely cause,to be sure though you could check for power to and from the switch if good than make sure you have power to the motor just in case there is a wire broken in the door jamb/

The plasic end at the end of the cable track has been broken off. The only fix is to replace the regulator assembly.

Unless you're real good at doing things like this, I suggest that you pay to have it done. I've replaced several and it sucks - it's a nasty job!! However, if you are really brave & elect to do it yourself, you must first purchase a large pop riviter through harbour freight {cheapest price I found} you'll need to drill out four 1/4 inch pop rivits.

Remove door trim screws, one in handle one next to side mirror. Remove power window door lock trim, the metal piece is attached to the plastic part. Lift whole door trim up at the rear and down at the front to slide out from door opener handle. Remove the plastic sheeting and any insulation. remove the glass from the lifter arm. Remove wiring.Drill out the 3 rivets that hold the motor, pull out and replace. 1/4 20 bolts and nuts work if you don't have rivets.

hi, I just performed the same task a few weeks ago on my 99 Beetle. High-five for deciding to do it yourself! if we Beetle owners took our cars to a mechanic everytime something broke we'd be living in a homeless shelter! This is the link that i printed out when changing my mirror switch. Unfortunately, half way through we realized that it was for a VW Golf rather than a beetle. Fortunately, though, the two cars are pretty similiar. The task was extremely easy. If I remember correctly, you can use this site to figure out how to take the door panel off...yes, you have to take the door panel off. Then, once you do that, you can pretty much figure out the rest. It took my boyfriend and I a mere 15 minutes to complete this task. Hope it helps. Good Luck!!

reove the door panel by removing arm rest screws, then carefully pry up wondow contro;l and remove the connector. next get a v shaped tool from any auto store, and carefully pop the side panel off. Before total removal unplg the led and mirror control. TAPE WITH DUCT TAPE THE WINDOW IN THE UP STATE!!!!!FAILURUE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE YOU INJURY!! You will see the motor ....unplug the connector and remove 3 10mm nots. Wiggle the motor out. To install wiggle motor in, and revese the removal. If the car is a 4 door remember lf/rr interchange as well as rf/lr if ypou get one from a recycler.
