I need help. I just installed my window motor and the window does go up but now it does not want to go back down.
I need your advice please Brother 🙏🏼🙏🏼😞😞😞 So unknowingly I've only gone and ordered a US Market Dorman 741-736 window regulator which is for a USDM Civic's (Passenger side) so have just discovered that the regulators motor electrical plug is a 2 pin whereas on my UKDM Civic (Driver side) it's a 4 pin plug. So basically regulator and motor would fit as it's for the right side door, just theres 2 wires and a 2 pin plug instead of 4 wires and a 4 pin plug to connect to my UKDM wiring. Any ideas to work round this bro? Damn totally my fault I should've known plugs would be different being that RHD - UKDM and LHD- USDM, Totally my fault 🤦🏼 Please help 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Window goes down but won't come back up without a direct power jumper.
the short answer, brushes are worn and don’t make a good contact anymore, hitting it with the hammer kinda repositions components, long answer: The commutator on the window motor is probably worn. This causes a poor fit against the brushes and whacking the motor causes a better fit; although it's temporary. The situation would be the same as a worn starter motor that will start working again after being whacked briskly with a hammer.
