Passenger & Driver Window Failure
Passenger & Driver Window Failure
Hello, miniacs! I know this has been talked about on other threads, I feel like I have read them all with no luck :(
Last summer, I had a problem with my driver's side window, I would hear the clicking but no movement, so I proceeded to bang just above the speaker, and that did the trick and lasted me all summer.
Just got my car out of storage about 2 weeks ago, both passenger and driver side both worked, although were finicky (not going down when button pressed, had to hold once or twice, eventually worked)
Yesterday, after detailing my car including the switch cluster, I go for a drive and try to move my windows down, no luck. The driver side was not working at all, and the passenger was being very finicky. (it was raining very lightly, doors opened)
Now there is no noise coming from the motor on the driver's side the window simply doesn't go up or down. Although the passenger side, you can hear the motor clicking but only when the window switch is in the up position. I try my bang on the door, and BOOM, window down. But right after going down all the way and back up, the window does not go back down, I bang again and nothing happens.
Does this mean I have to replace the motor and regulator on both sides, or just the motor?
Thanks so much.
edit - both passenger & driver side window drops when you open the door and raises when the door is closed.
