ok SO im a SR. at cary high and tonight we were suppost to trash the campus b/c its the first day of school tomorrow well i have a buddy screaming out of my passenger window while throwing tp everywhere when he says "DUDE whats up w/ your window" i was like what are you talking about? he said "it wont go up" and sure enough i pushed the switch and it didnt go up....now it did go up in short bursts periodically after about 5 minutes of random button jabbing where it seemed to go up inch by inch. does any1 have any idea whats up? i have had my door panel off b4 if that has somthing to do w/ it but my buddy also did not lean on it when pushing the button it seemed to have died on its own. but to finish my story the cops showed up and we all ended up taking our toilet paper to a rival highschool and decorating their tree's hopefully we will be on the news tomorrow but seriously any advice would help

I had the same problem in my Jimmy (I drive a 97 Z24 now). The window would go up in spurts as if it had to recharge like a dying battery. Eventually it crapped out altogether. Turned out to be the power window motor. If that's the case with your Z24, I recommend you get one from a scrap yard. A new one can be pricey!

Good luck!

yea it does seem like the window goes up in bursts like its re charging or somthing weird like that ty.
by the way what could i expect to pay for this in total after everything is replaced considering i have a old motor in there

I couldn't even guess....not sure what the Cavy parts sell for....I paid $50 for my Jimmy window motor, but that was many years ago and in Canadian dollars.

Sorry!

yea well i got my car back today from the garage it was a wopping 180$ and its still not completely fixed they put in a new motor but now they need a new "regulator" witch is apparently the new 5000$ bullshit car part nobody has ever heard of but is CRUCIAL according to the greasemonkeys or else there is a risk that ninjas will kill me while driving...or somthing
