1990 Ford F150-Driver side windor will not go down or up but you hear the motor trying to work What is the problem?

The window regulator is gear-driven. The arm that raises and lowers the window has a long curved rack, driven by a gear on the motor. Most likely, if you can hear the motor running, then the gear on the motor is broken, or the gears are stripped. I've had both problems. You'll need to pull the window regulator to disassemble and pull motor to find out for sure which one it is. Either way, it sounds like you'll be changing the motor.

Why would the back passenger window on 1995 Isuzu Rodeo not retract from driver master switch but work on passenger door?

Somebody was dozy on the assembly line. They connected the loom incorrectly but it's an easy fix. You have to get into the centre console to access the area where the 4 door wires meet at the master control panel. Find the rear passenger door wire by taking turns disconnecting the other wires. Then find the front passenger door wire by the same method. Now pull the other window wires off and connect the wires to the specific switches one at a time until the right switch works the right window. It's all good!

1999 windstar passenger window won't go up or down all fuses ok All door window switches seem ok?

Use a circuit tester to test the switches. You can test both switches from the right side door. Gently pry the plate holding the switch up and out of the door with a flat blade or screwdriver. There are several wires coming out of the switch. Five large gauge wires control the motor. The center wire is hot. Two of the other wires come from the left hand switch and the remaining two go to the motor. Find a good ground. (I used one from the door lock switch). Test each of the five wires. One wire is hot when pressing the UP button on either right or left door (Check both sides). One wire will show hot when pressing DOWN button on either door. These are the wires that go to the motor. If you have power here you will have to trace those wires to the motor.

Remove the door panel: Two screws inset in door handle. One screw under plastic cover on top front of door panel. Two screws on bottom of door panel. Remove cover around door latch handle. Pull the panel straight up.

For me: power was going to the motor. When i tapped on motor it started working!! Probably temporary fix.

Now to find out how to remove motor!!

Why won't the antenna go down on your 1993 integra?

If you can hear the motor run and it's trying to retract but you hear clicking noises then the motor is slipping on the plastic teeth of the antenna mast. It's actually designed to slip as that's the way it adjusts when a mast is installed. It may be that the mast itself is gunked up with dirt and oil or bent such that it encounters resistance as it's retracting. Order a new mast online, I got mine for $38 but many sites have it for $50. The mast will come with a replacement chrome nut, O ring and plastic base. I didn't bother with those since my old one was a gold accent nut and I didn't find the nut, o ring and base in the box till after I replaced the antenna. You unscrew the nut at the base of the antenna where it comes out of the car by using a bent nose snap ring plier, bought mine for $11 at Autozone, remove the nut. Have an assistant turn on the radio so that the antenna extends, grab it and pull it out. Stuff the plastic teeth end into the hole with the teeth facing the rear of the car, have your assistant turn off the radio and move the plastic end around until it catches and guide the antenna in. It won't go all the way down because it took some time to get the teeth caught on the motor, screw on the nut. Turn on the radio again to extend the antenna, since it didn't pull in all the way, it will try to push the antenna out more than it will go so you'll hear the motor slip on the end of the plastic teeth. Turn the radio off again and it should go all the way in. It's incredibly easy to replace the antenna mast. When I did it, I didn't believe it was that easy so I took it back out and did it again. I don't think oiling the mast helps, a lot of mechanics have told me to just oil the mast, the oil probably drips onto the plastic teeth making it easier to slip and holds on to the dust so the mast gets gunked up faster. The next time it starts to mess up on me, I'm just going to replace the mast. I'm thinking of trying the dry wax that bicycles use on their chains to lubricate the mast as it won't drip and it won't hold on to the dirt.

How do you fix a power window on a Windstar?

I am having the same problem as you are with my 95 Windstar but my windows work intermitantly. First thing I would do is check the fuses. There are separate fuses for driver and passenger windows. If this isn't the problem then I would check the relays for the windows. They might be sticking or something. You can buy new ones from NAPA for about $7 each. I personally try the cheap approach first. If this isnt the answer, then get a tester and see if you have power to the window motor. If you do have power when the door switch is activated, then you have a bad motor. I would then recommend that a dealer replace because glass breaks easily.

Also Try this!!!

Make sure the motor is in fact bad... Many times they just stop working because the armature brushes hang up and will not make contact with the motor armature. Sometimes you can slam the car door and this will jar the brushes and they will make contact with the armature. If this doesn't work you will need to remove the door panel and reach inside the door where the window motor is located and tap the electric motor with a small hammer or some other suitable object. While you are tapping the motor have someone hold the window switch in a functioning position, either up or down depending on the position of your window. I have done this many many times and hopefully it will work for you and you will not have to replace the motor. Good luck

How do you put in a window motor in a 1994 Buick century four door?

I just did this in my car. You start on the inside, remove all screws and clips that hold door on. Once you have the seat belts and the inside handle and lock out of the way, the panel can come off. There is plastic behind there that needs to be unscrewed from door and pushed to the side. Inside there are about six screws holding the window motor on. The hardest part was removing the motor from the gear. Keep in mind that the window must be up at beginning.

How to install window regulator?

I don't know the exact procedure, but I do know that you have to secure the old regulator when you remove it, because it is spring loaded and capable of removing a finger or two -- so be careful and if u dont know what ur doing take it to a shop so u dont have to be bottlefed for the rest of ur life . not being mean but i seen a man get all of his front teeth knockd out replacing 1
