Power Window Issue

Hey lads,

My 1992 R32 Gts-t is suffering from what seems to be a dead power window motor of the passenger side window.

Thinking this was a dead power window motor as this car is getting old, I purchased a working order power window motor off the exact same model as mine from a respected user of this site.

After installation, the power window still won't budge. Could there be a fuse or a electronic problem I have overlooked or missed?

This issue is very minor in terms of cars mechanics but very crucial as I can not take the car anywhere with my power window left open.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Cheers!!!

yeh mate, more than likely the power window amp has blown, the drivers door is the actual switch box itself, passenger doors there is a black relay box in the door.

Before going out and buying power window motor always test the motors as they are a few parts that rarely break in these cars. its usually the relay boxes.

If your window is stuck in the down position:

1. Remove door card

2. Find connector clip for power window motor

3. Using multimeter, locate your +12v and GND wires (alternatively remove your car battery and place it near the door)

4. Make a connection between the +12V/GND and the connector clip. Make sure you only tap the wires to the connector clip at first because you may make the motor wind down while it is already down. If this happens, just reverse the + and - wire.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
