replaced window motor, window rolls down slow still

k3nnex · Jun 30, 2013

Hi guys, this car is driving me nuts right now. My passenger window rolled down slow so I bought a new motor/regulator from ebay, after a lot of sweat I finally got the new motor installed.

however after all that hard work the window still rolled down slow eventually it gets stuck about 1/4th of the way down. If I give the window a push, it will eventually roll down on its own. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong here? I looked for intrusions and don't see anything obvious. This is driving me off the walls!!

Did you try lubing the sides?

check for parasitic resistance in the wires

It was a nightmare enough just getting the window regulator in and out. How do I lube the sides and what the hell is a parasitic wire

If its not your motor than it would be your Regulator that can be getting caught on something or starting to go bad. View Diagram #2.

Dealer is pretty pricey on these. If you decide on replacing these, AutoZone for the same price as 1 from dealer you get both sides with Lifetime warranty. Plus nice video on Youtube shows you how to easily swap them out.
