hey my driverside window goes down fine. when i try to put it up it goes half way then it stops. after a few mins it'll go a little more. i have to do this a few times to get it up. is this the motor or something else?

 

Motor

 

Motor. Next time, grab the window and pull while you're hitting the switch. If the motor's REALLY bad, even that won't help. And here's a tip from an owner who's replaced 6 motors now (3 on each side): after you replace the motor, don't roll the window all the way down. You have to sit there and mess with it or wait a long time to get it up again (something about the low-end torque of the rebuilt motors SUCKING ***). And have it replaced by a professional. One cost me $56. Did one myself... 4 hours of pain and frustration is not worth it.

 

This is good stuff, cuz i'm having the same problem with my 96' T/A....Motor are only 12 bucks on ebay? are they good??

 

It's probably rebuilt, and you'll have the same problems as stated above. Usually takes about 8-12 months for a motor to start degrading. It's sooner if you get a badly rebuilt motor.

If I was going to buy from ebay, I'd try to get a new motor instead of refurbished one. You should get twice the life from a no-**** NEW one.

While the door panel is off, you may want to shoot the wires for the motor with a multimeter. This saved me some trouble the last time I had to do a passenger motor; I found out the wire carrying the voltage was frayed and some of the power for the motor was being shorted to the frame ground. Replaced the motor and repaired the wire... been working for about 11 months now, except if I roll it all the way down (gets stuck at the bottom).

 

I got one off ebay...no probelms yet. Either a hit or miss for the motors off ebay.

 

Here is a tech article on how to replace it

Cool...havent dug into that problem yet on my 96 Z28...thanks guys!

 

autotrix.com has a fix for the window motors for 30 bucks

 

sorry, autotrix.net

 

Thanks for the info guys...

 

Thanks for the Autotrix tip. I'll be doing that next week.

 

make sure you replace it with rivets not nuts and bolts that come with some motors.

 

I used the nuts and bolts when I done mine in the CETA and I'm not having any problems

 

Same with me. I was surprised how easy it was to change the motor.

 

they viberate loose over time.

 

Thanks

how did it go?
