ec2a350z Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Hi there guys. I’m looking for a little bit of help on an issue I have with my Fairlady Z at the moment. The driver’s side window has become very temperamental, and doesn’t operate properly when I try to use the electric window. It sometimes responds and sometimes doesn’t. I have to tap it a few times on occasion and that can resolve the issue, or sometimes I can’t get it to work at all. This has only been a problem since I was in a minor incident and a dent was beaten out at a local garage. I have looked into a new motor for the window, but it costs £289.00 and comes from Japan, so I’m reluctant to buy as I can’t send back if it isn’t the issue. Does it sound like a motor problem or could it potentially be a regulator? I’m just wondering if anyone has had any experience of this or anything similar before, and if anyone could pass on any advice on what my next step should be. Cheers in advance, Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yokomo Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 very common problem guys , just fixed mine by taking it all aprt and freeing up the motor. not sur ehow long this will work for but it seems the brushes get jammed and stop springing into place so once cleaned up they are nice and free so i suspect all our door thumping was just jolting the armature into contact. took me a few hours inc going out to get cleaner and a little fidley so if you can get a second pair of hands it can be done in day. check this one out..http://my350z.com/forum/maintenance-and ... motor.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
