auto up and auto down, whats the deal!!

[franks]

i can't figure out how my power windows work.

for starters, there is no auto up/down on the passenger side...is this correct?

on the driver side, auto up/down seem to work intermittently, almost like it will do it when it wants to!? sometimes auto up/down will work when in motion, sometimes it wont. and sometimes it will work when im stationary and sometimes it wont!

what is the deal skyline!!!

can anyone shed some light on this? is there any consistency!? do i have to have the foot on the brake or something!?!?!?

cheers,

try taking out the switch and spray the connections with WD-40 or any CRC.

I don't think many vehicles have an auto up/down on the passenger side at all...

just my 2c.

The auto up on the drivers side of out 34 did not work today either. Normally it works fine, none on pass side though.

If its working properly, the switch has two settings - pushing all the way does auto up/down, moving switch less just moves the window a small amount

afaik most cars don't have the auto up/down thing on the passenger side, just the drivers side. all the cars we've had with elec. windows have had it on driver's side only. I was about to say "check the drivers manual!" but then i remembered it's in japanese :S

I had a similar problem with mine. It actually got to the stage where the driver's window would wind up but not down (thankfully not vice versa).

A had a friend of mine look over it, and the small black box that controls the power windows (inside the driver's door) had dry solder joints under one of the relays, ie the relay was practically flopping around and connecting intermittently! Ten seconds with a soldering iron and the problem was solved. It has been perfect ever since (about 18 months now).
