i had this problem and myself and lee (lbr33) tried to figure it out and still couldnt. i just ended up replacing the black motor box thingy and that resolved it using his power switches.

went back to mine and still didnt work... only to find out a few wks later that the plastic bits to push the button thing up and down were broken. gluing a piece of plastic back to it to act as the fork ended up fixing it.

pm me and if u want, i can have a look to see if its the same thing i was having with mine.

Yeah ive actually investigated alot and ive pulled the switch apart from the plastic mech ontop and you can move it around and stuff and you can still hear the black motor box just like a clicking kinda sound as i move the switch on the 3 settings, so im thinking it might be the motor box if so how much would that set me back to replace?

Can be one of 3 things padwan.

1. Window motor

2. Window switchs

3. Window relay

test each one.

thanks to Falconios fro helping me figure that one out :(

Hehe well i know for sure it isnt my switch but it could be my relay or motor, although how do i get to my motor to pull it out and check and stuff! Is this something I should DIY ?

Just got my car back from auto electrican today,and my motot in drivers side was screwed because of the auto switch. He reckons donty use aoto switch ever,always manually control the window urself. My switch is a bit broken,but all i got was a reconditioned motor,cost $250 fitted.

mine stuffed up because my auto switch is screwed,and when i use it,it stays clicked down which is why my motor burned out. Im not sure what a new switch is worth, but im over window expenses. As long as it works up and down i dont care about a switch. The guy reckobs his fixes about 3 skylines a week with the same prob as mine. Just so i didnt think he was rippin me off,i took it for a second opinion and he said exactly the same thing. So expect to pay atleast $250 for a motot fitted,as other places were $400-$500

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
