I just replaced my power window motor. When I use the auto up feature, it goes to the top and then the window backs down 3 inches. I can then use the button to put it to the top.

Any ideas what I may have done wrong? I had to take the regulator off to do this and fear that I may have done something wrong putting it back on.

Thanks

here ya go man. this should work, it did for me.

Driver window one touch up RESET procedure - TIP!!



With the help of the technical service manual on CD produced by Nissan on the 2002 and 2003 Maxima I now have located the quick fix for a problem I have had since purchasing my used 2002 SE a few months ago. That is the drivers door window one-touch up function for the window was not working properly. The window would go up to the top and then retreat about 5 inches back down again. This problem is due to the limit switch needing to be reset which at first I thought would be a considerable job (to take off the door panel etc.) but ended up being literally a 2 minute job as the door panel can remain in place. My dealer wanted $85 CDN for the switch reset which I knew was a rip off before I found the fix procedure myself. I know several '02 and '03 Maxima owners have had this same problem as I saw earlier threads referencing it but no-one then appeared to know the fix. Alhough this procedure is simple once you do it, my description seems long as I wanted to be a descriptive as possible since I can't provide pictures. So here it is:

Step 1: Pry the plastic cap up off the bottom centre of the door pull handle and remove the single philips screw.

Step 2: Remove the whole switch panel (in which the door pull handle sits) by prying it up from the back end either with a flat edged screwdriver or table knife (under cloth) or by hand which is what I did. It is just clipped in so should come out relatively easily sliding it up at the back and then pulling it back.

You can now see the inside of the door from where the switch finishing plate sat. You can leave the wiring all attached and simply hang the switch and handle plastic assembly to one side so you can see the inside of the door.

Look inside towards the front bottom of the door behind the plastic vapour barrier you will see a small black switch. It almost looks like a black pan screw head. This is the reset switch but there is a sequence to now doing the actual reset procedure. The switch doesn't really feel like one when you press it through the plastic liner which incidentally you don't need to cut (at least I didn't have to). It is a switch that is only on when you are pressing it otherwise when released it is off.

STEP 3: Make sure the window is closed (up) completely. Turn the ignition on so the windows are receiving power.

a) Press the reset switch (and keep it pressed in) and open (down) the window completely (manually -NOT with AUTO ONE TOUCH DOWN FUNCTION).
b) Release the reset switch. Then close the window completely (manually only - NOT AUTO UP).
c) The limit switch is now reset. Easy!!!

This procedure worked for me straight away as I hope it will for you should you have this annoying problem. The Nissan manual does caution you not to use the one touch UP-DOWN function during this procedure so be warned.

Any one do this and it did NOT work? I did this 3x and my window still comes back down w/ auto up

Do you have window gutters on your car. My windows go back down too but I suspect its because of the gutters. I'm going to try this to see if it works anyway though, because I didn't have a problem prior to putting them in.

Nothing done to the windows at all. I jsut bought the car a month ago and found out on the way home...dont even know what posessed me to roll the window down in 15degree wheather

The first time I did this to my passenger window it worked fine. Then about 6 months later the window started going back down again and the reset procedure will not work this time.

You may need a new motor if it doesn't initialise.
Why it resets cause it either thinks something got stuck in the track and to avoid window shatter it will back down. Sometimes they are funny and it will screw up from heat perhaps molding reshaping due to heat/cold. thinking something is stuck in track then backing off in case it's your hand. Then you have to reset it whick is nothing more than relearning the limits of travel. Once it stops slightly lower than that limit due to any reason it will do that till you reset a new limit.
How it knows is when it hits a barrier in track amperage draw is higher so it thinks there is something there. Hard to explain.
Why i am saying this is because a motor internal excessive draw might also cause it to loose limits and not relearn so sometimes. If it will not relearn the only solution is to put a new motor in it.

So you believe the motor is fooked and this is not a regulator malfunction?
i understand your expanation but the motor does not (in this case) have excessive draw until it reaches the top or its intended upper limit. I am having a tough time understanding why it does not mess up until it hits the actual limit versus someplace before that if it is a motor issue....not sure if I explained this in a way that articulates my confusion

well it could be a regulator too that puts a strain on your motor. When replacing motor you take it off regulator and slide regulator and if freely moving ok then replace motor. I have replaced motors for not reinitialising before 3 i think but not regulator. More stuff goes wrong with the motor and if reg. turns ok then it stays in

Thanks for this helpful tutorial! I will be trying it when I have some time to do the fun stuff. Mine is doing this on the auto up and it's driving me crazy too. I figured out how to avoid it most times by inching it up but it would be nice to fix it for good. Will post results when I go at it.
