My Honda Element's driver window works intermittenly while the passenger side works fine. When it doesn't work, you can only hear a click when the button is pushed but nothing else, no motor noise, nothing. First i suspect the regulator but i was told it could be the master switch itself. Any info is appreciated

@chuchum3 It could be either, to verify, you would have to pull the door panel off, and check for voltage and ground AT the window motor when you are pushing up and down on the switch, if the motor gets voltage and ground in both directions, but doesn't move, the motor is bad, if it doesn't get voltage or ground in one or both directions, it's likely the switch which is bad.

Greeetings everybody

Today I changed a regulator and motor on Buick 2002 Limited,rear right. It's working fine. I compared it to the front right,, I noticed it's not as smooth. Any idea?

@qasion The track that the window rides in may need some lubricant, when the rubber guides get old, they will 'grab' the window as it tries to go up and can cause the window to not go up smoothly.

Yes only on the auto down feature does it do this

[APDTY]

@trmulligan It sounds like your motor might be going out, when you use the auto-down feature, it actually puts a lot of strain on the motor because it forces the window down, and then will continue to try to roll it down for a few seconds before it stops. It's as if you held down the window switch for a few extra seconds every time you roll the window down. It sounds like the gears inside the motor might be stripping, and that noise you hear is the grinding of the gears.

@APDTY Good info early in the video about listening. I have a 2001 Honda Acoord coupe and the passenger window started acting up yesterday while driving home from Las Vegas on I-15. This is a power window. The window "rolls" up to the weather seal (almost completely closed) then makes a "jumping" noise. Kind of a mechanical clunk, clunk, clunk until I release the power window button. The window then slumps down away from the weather seal approximately 1/4 inch. What do you think?
