  • something wrong with the window

    my passenger side window doesn't have much power when i try and put the window up. sometimes it never completely shuts and just dies. its very weak and thats when the door is shut. when the door is open the window goes up with ease. i don't think there's any major rubbing going on between the window and the rubber thing

    use the search feature please. I am also having this probolem, except I don't think opening the door helps for me.

          If your power windows are running slow, take the cheap route first before anything else. Take the door panels apart and regrease the window tracks, both inside and outside of the track where the metal window frame makes contact. I used hi-temp brake caliper grease (dark grey grease) on my window traks when they were running slow before and it worked great! They still run like new even after 2 years.
          If that doesn't do the trick, then most likely you'll have to replace the window motor(s).

          If the window motor(s) aren't responding at all, check the fuses first. The other checks are a little more difficult to perform because they require a voltometer.

          I actually had a window switch on the door panel go bad on me once. The window would go down, but not up. Happened at a bad time too, during a snowstorm! :mad:

          Hope this helps.
          If there is anything I forgot, or better tips out there, please post them.
