Harman350z Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Driving to Norwich yesterday, lovely sunny day, car started to get warm so i lowered my window to cool off, so im driving about for an hour with the window fully open, get back to my office in sunny great yarmouth and find that my window would not come back up .... Usually if the window gets stuck half open i manually push the window down 1mm and then it would work again. no luck this time. First thing i did was come on this site and downloaded all the guides, took my door card off, couldnt do the reset as you need the window up and door closed (not happening).. Took my car to a really good garage that i use, PJ Kerly, and as i get round the corner i go over a speed bump and all of a sudden it works again, but left the car there anyways so they can look at it.. No idea what the problem can be but they will look at all possibilities for me.. good garage Not so bad in the end, ill await to hear the problem..! Quote
Ian Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Sounds like the motor is sticking, usually find that a bang on the door will kick it back into life Quote
Harman350z Posted February 18, 2010 Author Posted February 18, 2010 Will do Mike Yes Ian, thats exactly what i used to do but the problem has since got worse, maybe from the winter. I may get a new motor if they advise, but sure will not be going to the stealers. I have a few quid set aside for the worst. Quote
Ian Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I think my motor is on its way out again Takes an age for the window to go down Quote

It will loads cheaper than Nissan or garage Quote
Chris`I Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Wasnt there a how to on here not so long ago about cleaning out a so called dead motor to make it work again. I think the brushes get all maky and no connection but a clean out makes them work pretty well again Quote

Shaun1982 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 My drivers plays up too,if you use the one touch to close it it drops back half way down so you have to hold it up for a few seconds to keep it cklosed.Ontop of that sometimes when you close the door it drops the window too Quote
Harman350z Posted February 20, 2010 Author Posted February 20, 2010 Yes shaun ive had the same problem too, ive closed the door and walked away a couple of times, a hour or so later upon retuning i find the window half open thats some serious security problem there!! haha Quote
Shaun1982 Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Yeah no sh1t lol.I actually threw a wobbly & left it in the drive open last saturday night while i watched tele.I forgot about it until i went to go to a neighbours then realised itd been rainin too Quote
Komier Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 There is an excellent guide on the forum here for stripping and cleaning the motor and doing it all yourself. I had the exact same problems with mine, and for now I just took the card off, reset the timiing, and sprayed a ton of silicon lubricant on all the wires, pulleys, runners etc whilst operating the window up and down. That has been running fine for a week or so now with just one blip. Will be doing the full strip down and grease up when the weather gets a bit better. -Dave Edited to add : viewtopic.php?f=35&t=30870 Quote
