window help

i have had problems with my windows before, first a broken switch, had that replaced, and worked for awhile, now the problem came back, with the new switch. now my window is stuck down, and i want it up.

could someone please help me. i wanted to know which wires would i cross to bring it back up. i want to jump it from the bare clip (without the switch, because it’s broken)

Your switch is probably dirty, not broken.
Do a search and you’ll find some good tips on this topic. It has been covered.

oh yeah i should of mentioned that when i was in the process of cleaning it. the metal plates were embedded a lot. so that i think might be the problem.

but like i said on my top one. i just need it up so i can have a purpose for locking my doors.

You can roll the window up and down by supplying a ground and a power to the red/blue and red/yellow wires on the drivers side switch for the drivers window, power to red/yellow and ground to the red/blue.
If it’s the pass. window it is the blue/red and the blue/white, power to the blue/white and ground to the blue/red at the pass. switch, can also be done at drivers switch, but on the drivers switch both wires are black, and they are only 2 of the 3 black wires on a 2 door and only 2 of the 6 blacks on a 4 door.:sipread: 94

yes it is those plates in ythe switch every now and then it gets black stuff on it clean it off and voila

this is the thing, i cleaned the plates off and nothing.

i tried that ground and power and nothing happened… could it be my motor? will the motor go out that fast, because i have been having problems with my window, so when i was out of school i played with my window before i rolled it down all the way, and then i drove for like 10 mins home, and it won’t go up. i tested my passenger and it worked.

I guess it’s possible the motor went, but I don’t think so, I would bet it may be a wire or bad connection.
Try this… remove door panel and vapor barrier and unplug the harness going into the motor, then do a continuity check on the red/blue and red/yellow wires between the motor plug and the switch plug, if the continuity is good, take a good look at the connection at the motor, make sure it is not corroded and you can try and put 12V+ and ground to the terminals on the motor, make sure that you are putting the 12V+ and ground to the right 2 terminals.:cross:94

hey fcm, you’ve been a lot of help to me, but sad to say, i was really in a rush to get my window up. it ended up raining last night. so went off and got a whole door for $60 for a whole door and put it on. i guess at the same time it was a good decision to make because my door was damaged so my selt belt was malfunctioning. and the dealership was charging 265 for the thing that sends a single to the seltbelt (sorry i forgot what it was), and that was just the part. and then i would have to get a body shop to put it in.

thanks again. but something off topic. i was wondering what is the thing that people dissconnect so their seltbelt retracts, and where is it. because when i went to the dealership to get my seltbelts replaced, they said that it was unplugged and they left it unplugged. if i could just figure out what it is, then that’ll be cool, because i could just do a search.

Well first $60 for an undamaged door with power window and glass is a hell of a deal, is it the same color as you car also?

As for the seat-belt thing, I’m not sure I understand what you mean.:shrug:94

yeah it’s the same color, except for the interior was tan, so i have a tan lock, but i don’t really care.

i have no idea what it’s called, it’s on the end of your door, it has three screws and it holds the door when it’s closed. (i wished that i could be of more help) but i remember reading a tread about some belts not working, and a lot of people said that you should just unplug something so that it won’t retract. i think all i need is what do i plug back in to get my seat belt to retract when i open the door?

its a green plug, its on the passenger side to the right of the ecu. Its a box that says 12v seatbelt etc. i forgot, but anyways thats the plug, just plug it in

seatbelts are covered under warranty?

What fcm said is what happened to me.
My passenger window would not go up, so I tried jumping it at the master switch, no luck. Then I tried jumping it at the passenger switch, no luck.
Then I ran wires straight from the battery to the 2-pin connector between the pass. switch and the motor, no luck!
I thought for sure that last step would work.
So was about to go get some plastic and tape to seal up the window but I decided to try the switch one more time and it worked.

So I guess there’s something wrong between the 2-pin connector and the motor and because I moved it around it restored the connection.

So I have to take a closer look at the motor, but it looks very hard to get to.
I also checked the repair manual, but I couldn’t find any info on how to access the motor.

Does anyone have tips on how to get at the motor?

The only way to actually “get to the motor” is to remove the whole regulator assembly. 94

fcm thanks for the response.
I looked in there and the motor is in a spot where I can’t see.
I guess I need to move the window down so that the motor is close to one of the holes in the door.

Yesterday and today when the window wouldn’t move, I banged the door where I know the wires pass and it worked.:up:

The motor does not move when rolling the window up or down, the regulator sprocket moves.

If banging the door gets things working the motor is not the problem, it is a connection problem. 94
