Power window do not work anymore - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Couple of weeks ago my passenger window would no longer roll down. I kept on hearing clicking, then just yesterday my drivers side window would no longer roll up. I looked every were to see if anyone had the same issue and many did but the opposite way it happened to me my fuses are fine any suggestions?

window switch?

window motor?
becareful 95 and 96 switches are different.

I noticed that When i opened my amp it clicks, I see no burns it just might be the motor :/

most likely power window amp

what year is your car 95, 96? i think its probably your power wires coming off the motor are fried, thats what happened to me b/c motor got really hot and toasted it.

if you really want, u could take a spare battery and run juice directly to the motors and see if it does anything.

if you hear clicking your amp/switch is doing its job

90% its your motor that gone bad.
if thats the case i can fix it for $40 shiped

first feed power directly to the motor plug. Don't worry about polarity b/c either way it will go down or up

it is a 95 another thing I noticed was that the wires connected to the window control become hot. I will check all the wires tonight, Will it make a difference if I get the amp and control until from my friends 97?

Yes, there is no amp on 96+ models and the door harness plugs are different.
If the wiring gets hot, the motor is seeing resistance, it's probably burned up. Hook a battery directly to the motor, but put a fuse inline on the positive lead. If it's indeed dead you could short the battery out while you're holding it.
