Window Issue
 
My passenger window wont budge.
Wont adjust for opening door/closing door, not by interior switch or remote.
I suspect a switch problem or motor.
How involved is this to fix and where to get and how much are parts approx?
Its a 2001 S.
Thanks

You need to debug first. I'd start with fuses.

I didnt think it would be fuses as I expected both windows to work off the same fuse, no?

Do this test at night and with the door open so the interior lights are on.
Engine off.
Key in Run position.
Push the window down or up button while checking the lights.
If the lights dim slightly, (pay close attention, sometimes it's ever so slightly) it's the window regulator.
If they don't, then it's either the switch or the wiring.

Used OEM parts can be found in the parts section. I've had better luck with used OEM over new aftermarket. Just post a parts wanted message.

I did that and the interior lights dont dim and I hear a click come from the passenger side door, I assume the relay.

Um. Maybe you would take a look at the list of fuses?I have no idea what the answer is, but making assumptions about basic stuff is generally not a productive decision.

evomind 11-24-2024 02:16 PM

Alrighty then


Fuses all checked out ok so thats that.

tcoradeschi 11-25-2024 02:09 AM

Time to start taking the door apart, then.

Turns out its the window motor....

Anyone know where to source one besides the dealer?

Thanks

I read them in entirety.

You are very assuming, judgmental, and condescending.

Do I need to give you an accounting on the steps I took before posting?

Your response has zero value.

If you dont want to contribute in a positive way you dont have to respond.

I hope you read this in its entirety.

Hugs
