car350z Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 When I bought my Zed (2003 JDM) the driver side window did not work. So after some time now, I decided to have a look. Took off the plastic and unscrewed everything until I had the motor in my hands. I cleaned it according to the guide somewhere on the forum and re-connected it. Now, the first switch action after connecting the motor works (i.e. I can see the motor work) but after releasing the switch, the motor refuses to work. No matter whether I press up or down, nothing happens. But when I take the motor out again, open and clean it and put it back together and connect it, it's the same thing again - first action works but as soon as I release, that's it. Now I am quite unsure where the problem could be. Is it the switch or is it the motor? When operating the switch I hear the clicking noise inside the switch. Also, and this is utterly embarassing, I forgot how to put the lifting mechanism (you know, that metal part with metal wires that do the actual lifting of the window) back in (the previous owner supposedly tried to repair it but screwed that up and bought a replacement). Is there a guide on how to put that back in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisS Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 It would probably be quicker for you to :pmr35lee: or and I think Tarmac was selling window motors as well ?? They will have the answer for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Not sure which guide you have used but this one would appear to cover what you are asking? But as Chris says, you might be better off getting a replacement motor and if you do buy one from either ZMANALEX or R35LEE I am sure if you ask nicely they will provide some verbal help in fitting what you purchase from them, if you get stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can still grab the window wiggle it about as you press the up switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olibarrett Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Tried that but didnt work unfortunately Just had the AA man round with a set of pliers but no luck so have taken it to a friend who's stuck it in their garage. Not great He thinks its the motor. Is this what I need? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-NISSA ... 3f103fa788 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zman might be able to do you a better deal though Door card off 1 million bolts and replace it. About 1hour to do I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
