s14 pw not going up - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

so my window's stuck all the way down and there's nothing obstructing the path for it to go all the way up again. when i lift the button to roll it up, all it does is click. im guessing some rain got into something and i wasnt sure if it was the power window amplifier or the motor.

thanks

take off door panel and bypass power to the motor.

if it goes up then ur switch might be bad.
if it doesnt want to go up but just down then your motor is bad.

Usually it's just the relay itself.

On my 350z that happend too. we had to replace the motor.

Same thing happened to me. i replaced every damn component for the window except the motor..

ended up being the motor. GL finding one.

i got motors if you need them.
but it my case it was the power amp. Russ to the rescue and shit worked fine since.

the same thing happened to me(only clicking sounds)

if you're hearing clicking sounds,then most likely ur amplifier is still good and (its sending power to the motor. (in that case your motor is probably bad.)

to make sure the amp is good put a volt meter to it.

This happened to me a few months back out of nowhere, it just stayed down. It was the window motor, if the window amp was blown it would click loud enough to hear it and the window would be stationary.

my window gets stuck too. it doesnt want to go up or down, but sometimes in a great while it does move.

This happens in 95 cars alot....Sometimes it is the switch itself.

My passenger window would work when it wanted to, my friend schooled me on the switch and cleaned the contacts on it and the switch now works perfectly fine.

I'd apply direct power to the motor to see if it's dead. If not then I would look into the switch.

same problem here... window rolled down and never went back up. I took the door panel off and pulled the window back up and tried again,. Window goes down just fine... I just can't get it to come back up. I'm right to assume it is the motor, right?
