Window problems

[Robby Avery]

I'm trying to figure out where to start with a problem on the windows not staying up. Could the track be off or what? The car has power windows but I can manually push the pass side front window up or down just by using my hands where do I start to fix this problem. Thanks in advance

Sounds like the regulator is shot. Common issue on these cars. Only way to fix it is to replace the regulator/motor assembly.

It's the motor/regulator for sure.

I've replaced 5... thats what they do.
They arent that expensive, and you can get them online pretty cheap. Just make sure you get the one that's specific for the window you're working on.

Pop the door panel off, remove that plastic shield, unbolt the motor/regulator assemby, and disconnect it.
And swap out the new one. Fairly straight forward, and it's way easier if you tape the window in the up position.

Yes, def. tape the window up, you don't want it sliding down on your hands while inside the door.

And yea, I need one for my front pass. side again. Broke it due to frozen window. Argh!! Another 20 min. of my life I won't get back

Thanks guys for the help. Would autozone or other parts houses have the motor

[donmega]

yea they should. may see if you can get a junkyard part they can get pretty pricey

They might...not something they would carry, they'd have to order it.

Hell, 3 of the 5 i've bought were offa Ebay...all of them work great
