power window stopping

gardnerr06 · #1 04-24-2006, 04:53 PM

what will make a power window go up about four inches and stop, then a few minutes later go up a little more and stop, over and over until it is all the way up? it does go better if i pull up on it while closing. most of the time it will go just about all the way down before it stops, but going back up is slow.

My buddies Z24 does that. No idea why. I just ask him if hes having trouble gettin it up.

You need a new power window motor they arent cheap and are not easy to replace but that is what I would bet your problem is.

my window was doing that on the passanger side and i replaced the master switch and now it works fine. got mine from a junk yard for $30 bucks. the one i got was from a pontiac sunfire but it works cuz its the same thing as the cavy. or yeah ur motor might be going. i bought one for $60 bucks pain in the ass to replace. good luck though

I've been having the same problem with my driver side window. I found that the motor was just going bad and would heat up too much when used. Right now, I've the panel off and am trying to figure out if I have to pound out the rivets to get it in. Hmm.

good luck with changing the motor man. i tried couldnt get the damn inner panel off. pissed me off to much so i just said screw it.

Yeah changing that motor is a pain in the ass. I never did get the motor out, I have a wreck that I use for part and I ended up torching the motor out of that car for my other one. Haha oh well torching the door panel was fun anyways

yeah that panel is a pain to get off. i already had to replace that little plastic roller in there, it was busted. so it could be a switch or motor, what about the regulator? could that cause this?

^Bump this^

I'm having the same dang problem with my 96 Z-24 driver side.

Can any of you that posted in this thread follow up with some info?

I've had the outer part of the inside part of the door off before (it's just a bunch of philips screw heads) but when you guys talk about getting the panel off, are you taling about the metal part between the cockpit and the window motor? If so, isn't that welded on there?

Oh yeah, and what is a master switch and where is it located?

the master switch is the window switches. in the armrest. and i dont think the inner door is welded i think that its like riveted. i just replaced the switch and everything was fine.

So, it's the whole unit in the arm rest there? Just pop that sucker out and replace it?

yes you pop off the plastic piece around it which will bring the unit out. just unplug it and throw in a new one. i got one from the junkyard or you can go with a brand new one.
