I've been maintaining and repairing my cars etc for 57 years. One of my older cars (one of many I have) is a 1990 TWR Jaguar XJS 3.6 manual in mint condition with only 41k miles on the clock. I've owned this one for 8 years and the passenger side window has always been stuck closed. I could tell it was getting power as there was a small dip in the brightness of lights when the switch was pressed but it would never move. Then I watched this and went straight out to try the door-slam trick. I opened the door. pressed the switch and firmly closed the door. Nothing. I did it again. Nothing. I did it again and down came the window!! Thanks a whole lot, Scotty. Just shows your're never to old to learn!! If I ever meet you I will buy you a beer or ten!!

@ChrisHolt1 4 жыл бұрын

The usual mixture of good advice, sprinkled in with some myths. Unless it's a really old vehicle, there are several protections against burning up the motor by holding down the switch, Usually one or both are used. When the window hits the stops at the bottom, or seats into the frame (or stops at the top for a frameless window), the added current trips a self resetting fuse. Some systems will monitor the motor RPM and if it drops to zero, will break the circuit. The obvious tell that this is how many work is when you have a binding window and it goes up a little way and stops and the switch has to be repeatedly pressed and released to fully close the window. (I'm sure you've seen this) I can't imagine how many motors would be damaged if these protections weren't commonplace. With all that said, fuses can fail too and sh*t happens, so I'll grant you that it makes no sense to hold these buttons down once their task is complete.

love the videos Scotty. I fixed my power windows with LPS 1 spray. I think my better half spilled a coffee in the master window control last year. LPS 1 is a greaseless lubricant, repels water, cleans and restores electrical boards. Just take the controller apart as much as your comfortable and spray away inside it. I then blow it out with air very well. I have fixed 2 very expensive electronic parts with it. 2 for 2. Use at your own risk though, I am no expert, but it worked great for me. This would be a good product to feature!

Here's one more: 2 of the windows in my 2007 Nissan Murano stopped working within a few weeks of each other when the weather was hot. My air conditioner was also broken. I suspect snow fell in the window switch when I rolled the window down that winter. After thinking about the possible causes for weeks (and looking at the prices for replacement assemblies online), I took the switches out, took them apart, and looked at the contacts. They had black deposits on them from years of overuse, so I sprayed some De-oxit contact cleaner on it and rubbed the black stuff off. Worked like a charm.

I also made sure that the plastic seals weren't stuck on the window as much as i could, slightly pushing window in and out to allow more movement. Then it finally came down

Also the regulator, switches, motor, sound dampening foam etc modern doors are so thick, I miss doors on 80s and early 90s Honda's and toyotas

Some years back I had a power window motor lacking lubrication stop working.Simply taking the motor apart (not easy as the shaft was stuck in place) and greasing the motor shaft where the bushing slides on was all it needed to work as good as new. Sometimes the factory does not use as much grease as needed (maybe none) and parts can stick over time.

Hey Scotty! I just bought an 03 Camry with 126,000 miles for four grand. One of the rear windows didn’t go down...Your trick of closing the door while actuating the button worked like a charm! The previous owner was a chain smoker and residue from all those years of smoking lock the window in the up position! LOL thanks for saving me a bundle Scotty
