Slow windows fix

Slow windows fix
Shortly after I got my car I had to do both motors. Not long after I did the work I noticed a couple of times the windows went up slow. I pulled the switch in the handle out and messed with the wires a little and they both went up noticeably faster. So it is pretty easy to see they have a power issue maybe a ground. I was thinking about hot-wiring it or just running a ground. Where would be the best place to get good juice rather than going up to the battery for both doors? Could it be just the ground? Anyone ever use a multimeter on the wiring to see what voltages we have there and if just moving the wires around gives an increase?

I installed a kit on my car and now my window does not work at all. The window was working fine before and was just a little slow. I have checked the wiring and everything is good. This is the 3rd kit i have installed so I know what I am doing. I tried emailing and PMing autotrix, but have gotton no response...so much for good customer service. I guess this kit was just a waste of my money...I wont be buying another.

To the OP, The autotrix fix is the way to go. You may have to put a replacement motor in as well but still use the autotrix kit so the new motor doesn't fail prematurely.

That being said, my point is that there really isn't much that can go wrong. The only point of failure in the kit is the relays and they are easy to test. Otherwise it comes down to installation mistakes or blown fuses. If you're so sure you know what you're doing then what have you done to diagnose the problem? Have you checked the fuses? Have you tested the relays?

For years I have seen noting but good reviews for the autotrix kit. Yours is the first negative review. You must have had success with them in the past since this is the 3rd one you have installed. Were the other two for you or for someone else?

The Autotrix kit consists of some wire and a couple of relays. It's nothing you couldn't do yourself but for the price it's much more convenient to buy the kit.

EDIT...turns out there was a problem with the window motor, not the kit. The Autotrix kit works fine.
