Window off track, turn signal not working... Ok so recently my window started going wacky.......it seems like the glass has come off track or something. Anyways, when I roll it down three quarters of the way or more, and then go to roll it back up, I have to push against it to get it to roll all the way up. It's like the glass is falling out or isn't where its supposed to be. Has anyone had any problems with this or anything similar?
Also, when I go to flip my right turn signal switch, it doesn't blink or make the clicking sound, it just stays solid green and the outside turn signals arent' working as well. Any ideas as to what the problem is or how it can be fixed? The brake lights work, the other turn signals work and the fuses seem to be fine.

I noticed that one of the running lights would come on only when my headlights are on.....the right one. So I picked up a couple bulbs, I will check and see if that fixes the problem in the morning.

The turn signal problem is a bulb being out. Find and replace the bulb and you'll fix your problem. Have you taken the door panel off and actually looked at the window? It's unusual to just come off the track but it can happen.

not very....loosen the screws (I think there are 4) and pull straight up on the panel and it will come right off. Then you should be able to see if the window is off the track.

My window does pretty much the same thing. On the rear track there is a roller inside (the track) that mounts to the metal on the bottom of the window. Where it connects to the window is where mine is broke. The window just flops all over the place. I havn't tried to fix it yet so hopefully someone has a suggestion. As far as taking the panel off. Remove the control switch panel by prying and disconnect the electrical connections. Then remove the screw inside the hole. now take the sliding lock and disconnect it from the rod, might be able to pull it off the rod or use a small screw driver to pry it out. Remove all of the screws from the outside of the panel. I think there is one in the compartment, two underneath the armrests and one that holds the plastic peice that surrounds the door handle. After all these are out PUSH UP on the door panel and pull out. If you just pull out the plastic hooks will break. You might have to take the plastic peice that covers the door mirror bolts out so you can slide it up easier, just one screw holds this in.
Good luck let us know if you find a solution!

My friend and I took apart the door today and here is what we found........ugh... give me a solution, lol.
It looks like the metal support bracket that holds the window and guides it up and down sheered off or wore down until it just opened, is there any way to just replace the bracket without replacing the whole window?
