R33 Window Will Go Up, But Not Down. Sharing What I Found.

[Nick.]

Hey i thought that i might as well share whats wrong with my car, and the faulty part i found. it probly been covered but might as well share it..

Okay, so my driver side window will go down, but refuses to go up, so i took the inner door panel off and had a look.

turns out its that little black box, tried unplugging and re plugging and checking wires. but nothing.. so i mess around a bit and found that if i gave the black box the littlest of taps while holing the down button the window would work.

so i assume a link or something is loose in box. so next time im at the wreckers ill get a new one

happend just after i got my sound system, must have shaken it to bits funny thing is the window works with bass or i just hold the button down and give the door a tap with my elbow and it works..

hope this helps you

Nick.

Hey buddy.... Yep mine was the same thing, I've gone through 3 relays (all second hand so I can't argue), they can range from $50-125ish depending on the wrecker and how well you know them lol

If you cut open that black box and use your finger to press the metal switches inside it, you'll find you can wind the window up/down whenever you want, so I took the circuit board out of the box, and routed the cable up through the switch panel (as a temporary fix) so that it was hanging down, and I could just press the metal switch to open or close the window.

It was like that for a couple of days as I couldn't get to the wreckers for a while. Just be careful of sparks

yeah I've had to replace several in my R32 too, skylines seem to be notorious for it. Atleast its a realatively easy fix
