I'm trying to get my hands on a switch for the driver's side of a '93 R33. The motor seems to be working fine. I can't put my window down but if i try and put it up, it works fine. All the other controls on the the unit work fine ( ie. passenger window, door locks). Im having trouble finding anyone with a switch for sale. Any help on the problem would be great.

Cheers

Steve

i had the same promblem with mine and i have seen it on a few others, my switch wast the promlem i was the realy inside a little black box that was causing dramas i took it to the auto electrician and he fixed it for $70 bucks which is a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new control or relay especially if it turns out that you dont really need one

Buy a brand new one through nissan, but be prepared to pay around $350 - $400 for it :)

Does the switch feel fubar? doesnt click properly etc? if so id say its the switch. Had the same prob but wouldnt go up, went down fine.

Replaced switch with brand new unit, works a treat now.

open up the control box and put few drops of solder on the one that isnt properly soldered. will fix it up good.. i resolderd all my connectors on the circuit so id never have to do it again lol..

pretty sure thats ur problem mate. good luck.. u cud buy a solder kit for ~$15.. or u can fork out $350-400 for a new one.

i broke mine a little bit to open it but who cares, you don't see it anyway. wrap it in a bit of electrical tape once you've soldered up the problem and bob's ya uncle. that WILL be your problem, no doubt about it.

i did, it was the black box.. after all that effort of removing the window regulators it was as simple as resoldering 1 wire on the black box..

just pry it open where the plug joins to it and see if u can find any loose solders or joins without enough solder on them.. i found 1 which fixed the problem completely..

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
