Hey guys I have 1999 Trans Am with 154,xxx miles and my windows are starting to not roll up nor down, sometimes they work but they roll very slow but at times they stop rolling down or up... Im guessing the window motors are staring to wear out and give up on my windows... Does anyone have any window motors or know a web store that sells these motors for a lower price? Any advises are welcome, thank you guys!

 

Check out the sticky on stuck windows,radio not working and such. Sometimes the integrated body control module solder goes bad. I had my windows sticking and radio was always flipping out. I re soldered the relay on the circuit card like the post said and its all fixed. https://ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-el...lickering.html

Maybe it's the problem and maybe not but windows usually just stick until you smack the motor with a hammer

 

If he was having other issues like random radio or over head light issues I'd agree to it being a BCM issue. However it is most likely it is from the passenger window. The positive wire is directed through the drivers side. By the time it reaches the passenger side it is drained and gives it just a minimal amount of volts to work. Over time it kills the motors. This is the number one problem for passenger windows.

There is a fix, cost about $38 and can be done in a hr. You may still have to get a new motor if they are near death, but after the kit is install you'll see a big difference.

I can drop both windows at same time and have no lag.

I'm not sure if I can post a direct link to the vendor here but if interested let me know I'll pm it to you.

 

Ohh ok, yeah cuz windows really dont even roll up anymore, I tried them just now and they dont go anywhere lol... Thank you for the tips guys, it really helps

Does anyone know a greeat/good website that sells the window motors for my 99 Trans AM? Ive seen reviews for the motors that Autozone sells and ppl havent complain about them, but then again im not sure if they are any good

 

I have had nothing but good luck with four that I have replaced from Advance Auto (not the same car). Zero failures and about $40 each with core.

 

Damn, I might consider those motors! Thanks!

 

You want to get the Dorman brand window motors, and I believe that is what Autozone sells, ask for them. The kit should come with the screws that will replace the stock rivets and instructions.

Autozone part number 742-101 for both driver and passenger side. Looks like $47 using my zip code, your's may vary. I read a lot on here before I replaced mine and the Dorman seem to be preferred.

 

I got mine at Car Quest and what I was told what to check for is if they made in the U.S those are the ones you want cuz they will last longer.

 

Thank You guys, ive heard really good things about the autozone motors.

 

i got mine from autozone no problems and lifetime warranty

 

Good deal!! ^^

 

Got mine from Amazon, $29 a piece, ships for free, supplied directly by Dorman.

 

Thanks for the help guys
