RichardS Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 as the switchs are the supply to the motor surly if they aint working you wudnt here the motor clicking/trying to move.jus a thought. ^Agreed^, Have the windows just stopped working or were they not working when you got the car.

Toivi Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 anyone know how much it is to get the motor changed including parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I'll be stripping a set of doors in the near future (next couple of days, if not tonight). So if you want to give it a go yourself I can supply you with a new motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanecoupeturbo Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 hi thanks for the reply's,the windows was working when the car was bought a year ago. (however the passenger side didnt go either up or down on 1 off the switch's but was still working on the others fine).i did think the same about the switch's sending the power to motors but is seems kind of like there is power getting to the motors but not enough to move them which made me think relay maybe or if there is a single earth which is prone to getting bad ??i not great with electronics lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
