Leccy window help needed asap

[conrad1000]

just got new electric window switch for my 92 calibra so know the switch is fine turns out the drivers window wont go down at all and the passenger window goes down in little stutters and takes about 10 mins to put down. when the window is fully up the passenger window sounds like a machine gun when u press it up. can this be fixed easily or do i need new window motors

doors cards need to come off really,with pass side could just need the runners lubricated.
with the drivers it could be switch wiring?or dead/jammed motor.

[conrad1000]

so what would be easiest just getting some new motors to be sure or try lubricating pass side ( what with? grease? ) what would u recommend?

[Nemesis]

Try cleaning and greasing the runners and seeing if there's any dirt building up in them.

Also clean the contacts on the motors to make sure they are making proper connections

ok cheers may have to wait till the weekend tho. are the motors easy to get to same with the runners?

[Nemesis]

Yeah make sure the window is wound up before trying anything. Use an old toothbrush to clean the runners, then re-grease them.

so will just give them a spraw off WD40 the clean wi toothbrush then just use normal grease to lube up the runners then? What about drivers side when i first put new switched in and tried the window it went down about 2 inches then went straight back up and hasnt moved since

[azza69]

gotta get that door card off too (drivers side) something may be jamed so disconect the motor and get it out,run power to it and see if it works,sounds like somethings jammed up that side as well,or maybe ripped\streched cable,use grease to lubricate runners yes,also use a little washing up liquid down the rubber seal\guides that the glass travels,this helps for smother opperation

aslo check the earth wire that goes through the door into the car they got a habit of breaking !
