Broken drivers power window?

[Anquetil]

The drivers side power window has been slowly dieing and is now completely dead and wound all the way down too, so I can't really drive anywhere and leave it

I've pulled out the mechanism that all the buttons are on and checked the wires which visibly look ok, all other buttons on it are functioning fine.

Any ideas what parts I'm looking for, is the mechanism with all the buttons on it the actual motor or is that a seperate part?

TAI!

Had the window been going down on a strange angle b4 that, i had the nylon roller break on me in the runners. Made up a new one b4 it put too much stress on winder motor. Also their may have been a loud bang if runner came out of balljoint. If not then i'd say ur motor is faulty. Cheers

I'm thinking its something electronic, cause it used take about 4 pulls of the button before it initiated and came up, going down is always fine and works straight away.

most likely the switch....same problem happened to me. Because the switch was faulty (the drivers side has the 2mode switch...hold down/up to operate or just one touch for automatic) the switch would remain on and so burnt out the motor...so new switch and motor - $150 each. Then my switch needed to be rebuilt so add another $150. Note that there is a difference in switches...my '93 R33 series 1 switch was different to normal...something about a change is design between series....

Easiest way to find out would be to get a friends driver side button thingo, pull it out (its only 1 screw from inside the handle)unplug it and then plug it into your door. If its still no go then your window motor is fkt. My mate had a window motor replaced on his r33 but the guy didnt' put in a skyline one because he couldn't find one, so he popped in another window motor and the window used to go up like 3 times faster than a normal skyline window motor hehe.

same thing happened to me tonite. I used to hit da door quite a few times and it used to come up. But now i've tried everything and it won't go up. i'm hoping it is only the switch because it neva has a problem going down. but $150 for a new switch??? can i get dem ne cheaper??? or any way just to trick it back up and never use the window again?

my power window hasnt been workin for weeks now and its bloody anoying when u go drive thru or need to talk to someone. wat u do is flick the switch up a couple times till u hear the motor turn and then help it out by pulling up on the window with ur hand. or disconect the motor from the switch and run alternate power to it. mine didnt seem to work when i did that so i assume my motors stuffed not my switch.

JAPCAP -- any chance u could find out what motor that was?? im sure theres other motors out there that would fit. maybe 200sx motors??

Well I had to leave my car at the airport, so it needed to be fixed pronto.

Turns out is was the motor within the door panel, I tried another button thingymabob and it didnt work.

$125 from wreckers for the motor.

It always is the power window regulator and its a common problem (& no, it is not the switch). I replaced mine 3 years ago with a second hand one I found for 75$. Did it myself its not too hard. The damn thing just happened yet again n i got a quote for one and its going to be 195$ for the part now. Thinking of trying to repair the old one this time, its the little bit of carbon pad that gets worn off, the mechanism is completely find asides that. Its a very long shot, will let you know if I have any success with it.
