OK i have recently taken my window motor apart to clean the commutator, as it stopped working, and on replacing everything i found that the window was staying about 2"

down, so i used the reset procedure that posted on the US Infinity forum, which also seems to be the same as the 350Z reset.

Now to settle a difference of opinion, we have some people in the UK that disagree that this button exists, and say its just a blanking plug.

So what is your experience of this?

I've replaced both sides AND reset them using the reset button. Given the part number is identical for all countries and the part is also genuine Nissan I can only assume the button exists for all parts.

When i did the reset and held the button until the window went all the way up, i let go so i can then push the button but the window drops down an inch anyway.... When closing the door it only just closes the gap, at high speeds u can hear air coming in. Havnt been bothered to fix it as not at high speeds.... Any ideas?

Hi Mate,

Bought the 350 coupe a few months ago. When i first got it, if i pressed the button thats suppose to automaitically wind the window all the way up, it would wind all the way up and then wind down about 2 inches.

I read about the so called "button" and door my door panel off. after 1 hour of pulling all those black circle stickers off to try and find it (it ended up being the one right in the middle of the door) i saw what i thought was to be the button.

The wierd thing is it doesnt look or feel like an actual button, i kept pressing my thumb on it, but it didnt move in or give any indication it was a button or even doing anything. After pressing it in a few times and winding the window up and down, it eventually somehow reset and fixed the issue.

First off thanks to everybody who has taken the time to comment so far, be interested to hear further comments,

I an pretty satisfied that my window reset button works as its supposed to, although i do agree that it doesn't feel much like a button.

The way i read the reset guide, and it appeared to work for me, was to wind the window all the way down, using to manual button IE not pull and let go,

and once down press and hold the reset button, while using the manual button procedure for closing, then let go the reset, and all should be well.

This should all be done with the door closed!

However if you have removed the motor or just the armature, and had to unwind the cable drum a little to take the tension off the motor drive,

i found that you had to rewind to the same position as removal or you end up with a window gap.

JDM models do have the reset button also. It worked for me. But sometimes you have to do it a few times before it fixes the problem. And good to know it's not just me that thinks the button doesn't feel like a button.. :)

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
