samsniss350z Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 HI, i wonder if anyone can help with a problem that developed since yesterday when i bought my 350Z. when i bought the car the drivers side window worked OK, but since this morning it won't work at all. The passenger side works fine but the drivers side won't work at all, the button seems totally dead. I spoke to the guy i bought the car from this afternoon and he didn't seem at all bothered, after all he's got his cash so as far as he's concerned its not his problem and to be fair the window was working OK when i bought the car. Does anyone have any ideas as what the problem may be? Is it something i can fix myself? Is it a common problem? If anyone has any ideas as to what the problem could be i'd be very gratefull. Yours in anticipation. SAMSNISS350Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltzinblack Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Does the switch rattle at all?? When it happened to me it was the switch block that had gone. Managed to finally get the window back up in the pouring rain by taking the door apart (thanks to Keyser's advice!) and shaking the switch block until the contacts touched! I think new switch blocks are around £100. But I don't quite remember. Failing that it might be the motor as I think they wear out fairly often.

ChrisB Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Your motor internals probably look like this You can refurb them easily enough But brushes eventually wear out - and they are not a standard size (according to the US 350z site). I might look into modding a set of close but no banana replacements from RS if the refurb to mine fail down the line. Easiest thing is to buy Alex or Tarmac's cheaper than Nissan replacement items.
