drftk1d 10-05-2006 07:37 PM

I had a feeling he was being a jerk.



Guess I'm boned then, since the passenger side window on my TII wont go up.

That used to happen a lot when i worked in the shop. If you can get ahold of the window, we used to use needle nose with a rag over them or something similar to that. then try pulling it up while using the switch. If you want to put the window down just dont let it go all the way down again.

depends on whats wrong, if its a switch, you can bypass it and jumper right from the battery.

drftk1d 10-06-2006 11:25 AM

its not all the way down, its like 1/4 of the window sticking up



i'll try what you guys said, thanks

yea first you have to figure out if its the switch or the regulator etc. if its the switch bypass it and jumper the regulator with battery voltage and ground.



if its the regulator your best bet is to cut one of the cables which controls the movement of the window at which time you should be able to move it up, then wedge a piece of wood or something similar under it when its all the way up.

Ask 1Revven7 his buddy Nick has and fc with manual roll up windows.

I had the same problem on my vert. the pulley system is fucked up in the door, so i had to taken the interior cover off, reach in there and pull the cable off the pulley. Since the motor wont move the window because the cables are so messed up I just have it floating now. I have found that the door provides enough friction to keep the window up when I pull it up, but I can push it down when I get in the car without it going allt he way into the door. However thats because the cable is jammed so it wont go down passed 1/4 way. Without the cable being jammed it will go all the way into the door.

how would that help? the whole window system is 100% different between rollup and power window systems.

It will help because his windows were power windows before. He converted them. Guess I should have put that in before.

Arsehats! My windows were fine until youse guys started this thread! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif



My friend and I were out driving today and he puts the pass. window down. We get to the beer store, and it won't go up. Poop!



Get home, do an oil change and get out the shop manual. Remove the door panel. There's a two-wire coupler that has the wires for the motor. If you apply 12v. to these terminals, the motor should run the window up or down, depending on the polarity. Window is now up, and the switch is presumed bad. I have yet to run through the (simple) diagnostic on the switch, since I don't have three hands. I gotta find some alligator clips!



If you don't have a shop manual, get one! Working without one is like trying to calculate pi*[(sinY*cosX/tanZ^3)^2]-3 with a pencil and paper. In the dark. Under water.

Update: The problem is with the drivers side switch. The pass. one checks out fine. There was no continuity between terminals a and c, and there should have been. I pulled the switch apart and found a lot of carbon and some wear on the contacts. Cleaning the contacts with a pencil eraser worked okay, but it's still a little flaky. I think I'll be investing in a new switch. Wonder what the dealer gets for them? 100 bux?
