This video basically helped me figure out my Toyota Hilux drivers side electric problem. After 16 years (2007 model) the nut holding the glass had worked its way free (detached) making the raise on odd angles - thus bouncing in & out of the guides. I was able to fix it myself in just over a hour carefully detaching the parts (following his informative process). If I had of taken it to the mechanic they could not have done a better job & I would be paying a few hours labour & probably un needed parts meaning at least $300 plus. I am really pleased that I Google searched this video.

I like the detailed step by step. The left passenger side window wont go up but I follow similar steps and I was able to see the motor working but the gear and rail wont lift the window a bit of moving here and there the window got back in place and fix.

My Honda Ridgeline is making an odd noise when I brake that seems to be coming from underneath the steering wheel. It’s not a scraping noise or anything like that it almost sounds electrical. Any idea what it could be?

Thanks for the tips and for sharing this video .i have the problem where my window was going up slowly but it stopped working and now it is closed up and I don’t hear the motor making any nose at all so according to your video/tips ,it looks like the motor died. 🙄 but thanks for sharing.

Hi, I ordered a new window motor and regulator. The drivers side window is stuck in the up position. I am not able to reach the screws to unattach the regulator to the bottom of the window. I tried moving the window down but it won't move. Any suggestions?

Hi Josh. Love your videos. I have a 2002 mercury sable wagon well maintained. My driver side is working on and off. After new motor, new switch, new replays and regulator working the window stops working and then it doesn't. It makes a clicking noise under the dash but the window won't move. This could be a discussion for Click&Clack, radio show about car problem mysteries on public radio, but sorry to say that show has been gone for quiet some times. Maybe you have a thought on this. Your videos are amazing and you have such great knowledge. To bad you don't live near where I am. Thank you Josh and all the best.

The clicking is usually the relays passing the power through so that’s good. I wonder is the window is getting bound up in the track somehow?

So I had 2 back windows fixed recently - 40 euros each. A week later the front passenger window regulator broke (i can hear it spinning). I got mad cos the window went down and it's stuck. It's winter and I have no garage to keep the car safe. So I am here watching your video on how to save 40 euros and I am getting an understanding of why it costs that much. I am lucky it's only 40. But then again I am a woman and cooking sounds easier to me. Satisfying to watch though. Thank you! 😊

Hi. Question... My driver's window sometimes works fine but other times I have to press down on the glass while pushing the button in order for the window to go up or down. Is that a bad motor/regulator?
@rey._cordx1027
@rey._cordx1027 Жыл бұрын
My driver window will randomly stop moving sometimes as well. Most likely your going to have to take off the door panel to see what could possibly be the issue which may or may not be easy depending on your vehicle. It’s probably best to do this when your window won’t move so you can observe what isn’t working. 1) turn the key in your car so that the engine isn’t running but the radio and lights come on. Press down on the window button when you do this you should see a slight flicker in your interior lights or see slight movement in your voltmeter. If you don’t, then the switch is the problem. But I’m assuming it might be the regulator/motor. 2) press the switch and see if the motor makes any noise. Signs of a bad motor are the window rolls up slowly or sometimes a clicking sound. If your window is misaligned or rolls down quickly it might be the regulator. Hope this helps

hey man, I’ve got a problem with my window where it will roll up half way then get stuck but if pull the window up it will start to go up again could there be something jamming the glass and preventing it from raising past that point? It seems to go down just fine and up at a normal speed but I have no idea what is wrong with it

Sounds like my problem I just solved. Probably a bolt has worked its way free and the glass moves out of the tracking. Do you get a bang noise as you raise the window? Maybe that is a clue on the tracking as if it works ok one way - but not the other. (they were my symptoms too)

Hey man (and everyone watching who has experience in vehicular mysteries) I've got a 2007 mx-5 miata, cylinder 3 misfire, switched the ignition coils to see if it jumps to cylinder 1,2,4,5, but it just sits at 3, I've checked wiring, might redo it soon just to see if I screwed that up, and also want to test for a vacuum leak, all that being said, if anyone has any other ideas, it'd be much appreciated. For reference I've cleaned the c02 sensor, fresh spark plugs, new ignition coils, cleaned that tiny ass filter (let's be honest, I'm not a car guy so.. No idea what it is or what it does) just heard that solved many check engine lights aaaaand nothing... Really want/NEED this fixed seeing as I'm about 4 months late on registration, so, yeah, if anyone has any unique ideas (I'm not a car guy, but I'm not stupid, I'm not drilling holes into my engine) it'd be much appreciated!! I do not want to let go of this car, it may have it's dings and dents and... Being owned by a racer, it's wear and tear, but this is my bae.... Seeing as my human bae left me ;-; ....dont want to have to count my losses y'know? Thanks in advance if anyone sees 😂

My window regulator/motor just clicks, I replaced both motor and regulator and still does the clicking. I also checked/ replaced all wires and checked fuses but it still doesn’t work. Feels like a low voltage issue, could this be a battery issue? All the other windows work

Seems like something electrical Vs the motor. Try swapping the window relay with another relay and see it’s it’s better. Or it could be the switch in the door
