Does it go up fast then stop or is it really slow then die out?

my passenger one does this (goes up slow then dies out) after it sits a bit (5 seconds) it sometimes goes up a bit more. i think its off track but everytime i put it back on it just comes back off a day or two later.

i dont think it has to do with being off track i think it has a short because mine does the same thing but mine is on the passenger side front and back

my passenger window does that too. i just spray wd-40 along the edge of the wondow and it goes up fine. along the rubber where the window slides up.

Take your door panel off and make sure your regulator bolts aren't loose. That happened to me, and it ended up destroying the mounting holes in the door frame... Basically, I may never have a working window again unless I replace the door on my freshly painted car.

Don't use WD-40. Petroleum based lubricants will destroy the rubber, and make the problem worse when they dry up. Go to Autozone and pick up some powdered graphite lubricant. It's what they used from the factory. Get that in the tracks, and if it's a lubrication problem, that will fix it.

If you ever remove your window, DO NOT clean the black stuff off of the sides! It's not dirt! (another mistake I made...)


If lubing it doesn't work, replace the regulator. Be sure to adjust it properly.

it is most likely not a short as 3 out of my 4 windows dont work and im still tracking down the problem but i would try the graphite first i havent had time to mess with my drivers window witch is slow also

have you tried pulling off the door panel and checking the motor itself and the wiring for the elec. windows? try that and see if it may be a motor problem, there could be a short in that as well..

[a.e.m.]

im sorry to thread jack but my driver side window locks up like every two inches up or down could it be a short or should i just repace the motor

[riotstarter1992]

i would personaly say that would be a bad motor that is jammed up in the magnito but idk i dont know alot about electronics

i used a silicone based lubricant and now my window goes up fine but i drenched everything in it.

Window problem

JDMboi; Don't sweat the $$, just get one from pick-A-part, $10oo. I also don't mean to thread jack, my driver OK, pass. frnt. won't roll down at all. Pass rear rolls down, but has a real hard time rolling up. and stops a 1/2 " from top. I guess are problems are regulater, motor or switch ? Right ? Graphite's the nuts !!
