whats wrong with the window exactly, does it just fall or what, can you remove the door trim and push it up? when my window was farked i just took off the door trim pushed it up and wedged stuff in between it so it wouldnt fall.

nah it goes down but doesn't come back up. doesn't make ne weird noises or nething. i used to hit the dooor a few times and used to work. but it doesn't anymore. I took out da trim and tried to pull it up but it doesn't work.

its probably just your switch, take the door panel off and find the motor that drives the window panel. use a 9V battery and wire it to the two wires going into it. if you put it the right way, the window will go up, if you put it the other way the window will go down. SHould solve your problem till you replace the switch.

is a 9V battery enuff???

did u read my post in the other thread?

have a listen carefully to the motor...once an a while it will actually turn over but shit itself again. when u hear it turn over quickly push the window up from inside the door trim with ur hands or pull it up if it is sticking out of the top. thats how i did mine.

other than that do what chop's did disasemble and take the motor out and put some wood in there.

i can't actually hear mah motor shit itself!!!

is the window fully down? my window has problems going up aswell, however it always goes down fine. With my window if i take it down say half way, and it doesn't want to go back up again, i hit the top of the window down while holding the switch and it comes back up again. If your window is fully down take off the door trim, get a thin bit of wood or something u can stick down the door onto the top of the window, hold the window switch to bring the window back up and tap down on the window. see if it works.

yeah i know ur motor is stuffed....so is mine. but like i said "once in a while" it will acutally turn over for a "sec", thats when u push it up.

[chan]

as a last resort wat can i do? coz i really need my car. and no wreckers seem to have stock of the motor.

im pretty sure its ur switch thats faulty mate.....replace the switch or do wat funkeymonkey said

what ive done before in other cars is replace the switch with the passanger side switch momentarily just to move the window up. I dont know if it will work though since the driver side console has a few buttons there and thus the passanger side switch may not fit

If you can't fix it yourself, take it to an auto elec.

PS: what area do you live in.

just remember if its done it once it'll most probably do it again. like when i went to the shops and i accidentaly pressed the switch it went down 2cm but not back up again so i had to go home:D:D theres no way im gonna leave my car with my windows slightly open in springvale:D:D
