Window Wont Go Up/Down - Dignose and Repair

Customer sent over an 03 Oldsmobile Silhouette that the drivers window would roll down but not up. This is a quick video of the steps I did to find out what the issue was and fix it.

That was a great video. Now if i can apply it to my window. Thanks 👍👍

[@mercuriallimit]

I can either press down or up, the switch seems to work fine but the motor turns only 1-3 seconds before coming to a complete stop. I changed the carbon strip inside the motor already

You need to have the accessory power from the ignition on to have power at all.

Very intelligent.. Sir, my Hyundai i20 left rear window has no power when operating from driver side windows master panel. The other 3 windows has got power, but no power for this window. However, they are on at the same board. Why no power supply to this window?

[@markstrohecker5342]

I put on a new main switch cause my driver's side window won't do nothing It did before but stop in the way half way up.Now I am still getting nothing could this be a bad motor??the rest work well along with the passenger side mirror.

[@taricacrawford5294]

I have a 1999 Oldsmobile intrigue. It make the noise like it’s going up and down. But the window doesn’t actually move.

[@markusr1359]

The window is off of the mechanical arms that push and pull it.

[@lorealdrayton6164]

reattach the window regulator clips......clips have to be glued back to the window......

[@lklarose]

Good video, thanks for the how to. Would this be the same for a caravan? You should think about getting a tripod or octopus style tripod that you can wrap around anything so you are hands free videoing, it would help your videos exponentially. But good job.

[@gimisumgood3077]

I paid 75 dollars for a switch what year is that car? I have an 08 crown Vic

[@bFORCe2003]

Would it be a bad motor if the drivers side window doesnt work (up or down) but the other 3 windows work using the drivers window switch and their own window switches.

[@C2H6Garage]

Still could be the switch only for the drivers window. If you can find the pin to send voltage to just hot wire it. If it still does not go up or down then it's either a motor or wiring break.

[@Inf7cted]

@@C2H6Garage what happens if the window when pressing down drops an inch then stops, but will go back up an inch? back window will go down a bit as well on the drivers side - but I also have to push up with my hands to close the window and over 2 - 3 days the window drops on its own an inch.

[@C2H6Garage]

Sounds like motors are getting weak

[@matthewlunam7772]

Sumtingwong Richard yep I have the same issue in my 93 Nissan bluebird. Wonder if it could be a wire or something because my central locking switch wasn’t giving any power?!

[@joegarza1835]

Did you ever find out what was wrong with your window?

[@cormegastarks8815]

Wht if all windows are working except the driver on a four door..can it be the harness...

[@C2H6Garage]

could be a switch, harness, or window motor hard to say, can you get access to the window motor and apply direct power?

[@drumdude46]

Having same problem with my 99 Montero Sport. and realized something...if your window CAN go down...it's probably not your motor. why would the motor be bad...but, will roll the window down?.... gonna be switch. In mine, same issue. comes down...and is stuck there....but won't go up. i'm gonna try the 'jump' method on the underside of switch panel. thanks...

Might have something stuck in track or motor gummed up etc. Hard to say

It doesnt work with the drivers or passenger switches?

@@C2H6Garage yes both switches don't do anything and no any noise.

[@C2H6Garage]

Sounds like you are not getting any power to motor. Check you fuses. It may also be a bad motor. Have to get a multimeter to fully check it out.

C2H6 Very intelligent.. Sir, my Hyundai i20 left rear window has no power when operating from driver side windows master panel. The other 3 windows has got power, but no power for this window. However, they are on at the same board. Why no power supply to this particular window? I also supply power to this particular window switch from another 12v source, yes, the window functions both ways up and down. This is confirmation that power is cut off but how and why??

[@solidfuel0]

@@C2H6Garage the problem was some stupid button that prevents kids from opening the window..

[@bobobrazil1973]

Makes you just want manual crank up windows

[@emmettturner9452]

Those are less reliable these days too. My 2012 Corolla needed to be fixed under warranty multiple times. Something would change inside causing about a quarter-turn of slack before the handles would engage with anything. Everything is made of plastic so the handles would break too. It’s clear that Toyota only designed them this poorly because they expected nearly everyone to opt for power windows.
