Power windows not working but regulator is good?

[dcg1349]

I wish I saw this before I paid some guy a lot of money to fix my car window

[2828smurf]

Man; bro YOU saved me $100! I just saw your video and it worked!! Thanks!

[RippinRichie]

Holy crap, it worked!!

[GlennBerns]

mine is on the driver side? Will it work? 97 eclipse

[ilbblf2]

i found it very helpful , but i don't know if its the regulator or not see my question below , thanks

[ilbblf2]

my window went down , i finally got it up . now it won't go down . i hear the motor running ...

[rsmc55]

Will this work for a 2001 RAV4? My left driver side windows (front and back) won't work, but the right side windows do. HELP!!!!!

[RocketFast321]

@rsmc55

don't hurt to try

[KrisBeMe]

All well and good but I suspect it's more common for cable mounts to break on glass support brackets made of plastic. That's what happened in my situation. It's a $6 part (the glass support bracket) but dealerships and parts stores only sell the regulators ($80-$190).

[cpailom]

Unbelievable! It worked for my 05 Nissan Sentra. It can roll down but not roll up. After I held down and slammed the door, I got it back! Thanks man.

[Lon3w0lf119]

im mad i took out my motor and regulator out b4 i tried thi =[

[des19792011]

Crazy, this worked for me today !!

thx

[michaelbrito1]

Thanks, worked on my 2003 Econoline Conversion Van, I wish this was first result of a search on "Power Window" but you still saved me lots of money, time and headache! The world needs more people like you.

[SuperEvilnine]

Thanks man that works appreciate that!!!! And I was just right in the middle of a storm 2

[countyguy2003]

that looks like a grandam could anybody tell me why on the 98 grand am the powersterring pump keeps breakn the shaft i had a mecanic put 2 on it in a year its run off the camshaft

[punx8086]

motor is getting bound up, its the same concept of taping a starter and making it work, needs replaced before you get stuck with it down in a rain storm..

[nparker1821]

Thanks! This worked on my 04 Nissan Altima.

[RonPaulSuperFan]

Awesome video! Thanks! It worked!

[glassdogangle]

Another thing that works, if slamming the door doesn't do the trick, is to hit the window motor with a hammer. Of course you have to pull the door panel off and the plastic insulation. I have unstuck several car windows this way. Just tap it a few times--while holding the button--harder and harder, until it unsticks. TheBROY is right, btw, the motor is going bad. May work for a few years still, but it is definitely getting old and arthritic.

[xXxCrazyJayxXx]

Didnt work on my 1998 dodge durango

[silverado75137]

dude wen i saw this video , i was no way. and my window on 01 ponitac am , was stuck so i tried it nd bamm it work i wass omg i got to thank you man , caus it was getting hot in the car. omg THANK YOU!

[loranscruggs]

I got it to work the other way. Window stuck open. Now it's shut and I've taped off the defective button. Thanks for your help!!

[mvang01]

Will it work the opposite way? Mine won't go back up after i open it but will go down. But it takes awhile for it to be able to go back up....

[RocketFast321]

@mvang01

Don't know

[punx8086]

@mvang01 @RocketFast321 motor is going bad, going down, the motor has gravity and the weight of the window helping it, going up, it has to fight itself, and it means your motor is getting weak.....

[mcotesy]

@mvang01

I had a same problem. It cause more problem if it won't close, what I did was I hit lower part of door with my hand (fist) hard when I still holding down close switch. (be careful to press down right button in this case close button)

I hope it helps at least temporarily.

[TheBROY123]

your motor is screwed it will stop after a while

[RocketFast321]

@TheBROY123

I was thinking the same, but i was doing this 3 years before the video.

[C0LL1N]

theres nothing wrong with your window, its just a pontiac grand am, they're quirky.

[RocketFast321]

@C0LL1N

It's not the car, it the P/w motor. Look at my other comments.

[willibill1]

Mine sticks on 02 kia, next time Ill try that.

[NoobSoldier2006]

THANK YOU SIR 2005 CHEVY COLORADO

[cars2cars]

Thanks man, worked on my 99 camry

[soulstice99]

worked on my old camry. thanks!

[RocketFast321]

@soulstice99

I did it to my friend's mustang. She did not believe it would work. I know the motor needs to be replace. But till then, do you have to do.

[Mark11340]

I had this exact problem on my 2006 Grand Caravan. Watched this video, followed the steps and it worked like a charm! Thanks! This saved me hours of work.

[edgarallen69]

Just tried this on my Dodge Caravan and it worked. Thanks for saving us some Money!!

[compudude86]

either the motor, or a bad or loose connection

[steelersfever]

worked. the concept is to jiggle the loose connection until it completes the circuit. great temp fix until I can take my door panel off. Thanks!

[Jgarc00w]

dude... i was looking for answers to my window problem and out of desperation tried your suggestion. The M...Fcker worked... Thanks

[gasdorf]

mine is stuck down...ill try that ...seems like the problem is when the door is shut

[RocketFast321]

@gasdorf the door being shut does not have anything to do with it. It's the motor

[birmingham1010]

@gasdorf The same thing is happening to me too. The back passenger window won't roll back up even if I shut and opened that door. Is there a motor on all four doors or just one on the driver's door? But the thing is the other three electric windows are working perfectly fine. I thought the glass shifted somehow and it is not in its place. Am I thinking about this correctly?

[themaddrummer]

Tried this on my 01 Intrepid and it didn't work but it inspired me to bang on the inside door panel about 6 - 8 inches from the speaker while holding the switch on and BINGO! Thanks! You saved me some dough!

[rsoccer421]

dude i tried this on my 2005 Chevy Colorado and it totally worked! thanks man!

[blackink25]

work perfect for me ..thank for the bootleg way ..save me some dollas

[BondoFox]

I just tried that on my Olds!

Didn't work :(

BUT: It's a great tip to keep in mind!

[djmopa]

lol, if only it were that easy!

[iiiTEDiii]

Yo, Im gonna try that!

[mysteriousjustin]

change the motor, the brushes may have a bad spot
