Windows half work

I don't drive my Ty very much but the last couple of times noticed my passenger side window goes down and doesn't want to come back up. If you wait say 10 minutes then it goes back up. Anyone else had a simular problem? Thanks

Re: Windows half work

you could try lubing the track, or cleaning the switch. if it doesn't work right on both switches you might have the best luck lubing the track

Sounds heat related to me.

I'd certainly check the lubrication. That will certainly make the motor work harder.

Also, check the voltage at the motor. You might have switch contacts that are loosing a bunch of voltage, which will make the motor pull a bunch more power.

And if its well lubed and voltage is good (ideally 12V or so with the engine running), I'd say your motor is going south and needs replacement.

it's easy took me about 30 mins to do it.

now on an f-body pain in the ass becasue you have to drill through the door and then drill the rivints and it is really tight fit when you go to put the new motor in.

Mine has the same problem on only the driver side. I have the new motors to go in, just haven't bothered yet. I plan on replacing the motors, cleaning it up inside and making sure the connections are good.

Re: Windows half work

Based on your description, I would say with 99.999% certainty that the motor is shot. You can read up on how to fix it yourself here.
