Question power windows

hello everyone,

I read on a thread either on this site or somewhere else but, I my question is.... How am I able to increase the power of windows? It seems to be moving up and down real slow. How much would it cost to fix this problem? And am I able to fix it myself.

Thanx for all the help

That's a common problem. It could be the drive motor or lubricating the tracks/cables. Here's a link to give you an idea of the work involved and some troubleshooting. Good way to save money.

BTW - Both the driver's side and passenger power windows share the same 12v from the power window circuit breaker so if it's an electrical problem it will be limited to the pasenger side door. Good luck!
