Hey wassup, i've been recently running into window problems with the rear driver side window..it is VVVVERY slow and most of the time it doesn't even open, but it did today and now it doesnt close....all my other windows work fine....when i try to close it i dont even hear anything going on. it as if it lost power.....anyone had this problem or know what the freakin problem is? the window is open way too far, im scared someone will try to steal something while parked... thanks!

For now try this. Grab the window with both hands and pull up with it hard. You're not going to move it but you move the motor just a little. Move it up and down a little and try it. If it works keep the window up until u can get a new motor. Hopefully this works. If nt then you will have to rip the door panel off. good luck.

 

grreat, so you think it the motor huhu? if i get a new one should i just get the motor or the regulartor too?

 

check the switch. 90% sure it's the switch.. dirty contacts or such. window could also be binding in its tracks so check for that

 

i thought it was the switch at first too but the master switch and the direct switch doesn't move the thing at all. binding?? sorry what do you mean by that?

 

is the window sticking against the frame? that's what i meant..

have you looked at the switch panel? when my passenger side got electrical burn, it would not work at all, then it will work down, on the up trip it will be slow and stop halfway trough...

 

ok ill try to look at those after i get off work, if not i may try to physical way or just put a car cover over it...

 

ok well i looked at the switch panel on the door with the broken window....didnt look like anything was burned....i also tried to pull up the window...that thing is for sure stuck i even opened up the door panel and tried to push up the window on the track, it is really jammed. man. im not sure what to do. any other tests i could perform???

 

anybody?/??????

 

i had the same problem on my car and it is the window regulator. The window use to move really slowely and then stop. if you wait a little it will move a little that way you could at least close it. keep the ignition on. Wait 5 min pull it up, wait 5 more pull it up.

 

yeah that's how mine was too, i figure it just needed some oil and stuff...did you replace just the regulartor or the motor too??

 

I think you took the door panel off to check? If not, I had a 95, and first the windows werent working right, and then they stopped all together. After a lot of thinking and calling places, I took the door panel off. What happened was when I installed the speakers in the door, the wiring harness wasn't clipped into place on the under side of the window switches because the clip was broken. All I had to do was plug it back in and secure it.

 

I went through this exact problem on another one of my vehicles (not maxima). If you have taken the door panel off, check to see if you have voltage at the motor when you hit the switch. If you do, then either your motor is fried or else something is mechanically binding. If you don't, it is the switch.

Also, when my window was stuck in the down postion, there was no way in hell that I could physically get the window up without either getting the motor working or mechanically disconnecting the window from the motor.

 

i see i see. maybe ill try to disconnect it for now from the motor....im using a friends car cover that only covers the top half of my car, lol dang i never knew max where that long compared to integras... as of now i cant do anything until friday night or saturday morning....do you guys think i should just buy a new motor and regulartor anyways?? like i said, it has been having problems for about 2 months, it just that it is in the down position, that is why i posted with urgency....thanks for all the advice, let me know if there is anythign else i could do to check, ill go down the list on saturday.....btw how do i check voltage at teh motor??

 

do you know how to mechanically disconnect it from teh window??

also anybody have any idea on how to replace the window motor and regulator?? or should i just give it to the stealership??

 

bummmmmp! help! come on, please!

 

Open the door
Sit in the seat and pull up on the window switch
While holding the switch up, slam the door closed
Profit.

 

I had this problem with my rear passenger side window. It turns out that when i installed my speakers in the front doors i didnt plug the harness back in all the way. so, i took the panel off the drivers door and made sure the harnesses were all pl;ugged in securely. that fixed my problem. hope it helps yours.

 

Replace your window regulator. About an hour & $70.
