on my pickup the power window on the passenger side stopped working. the window went up very slowly but it went down fine. so u guys think the window motor is toast? at first i was like i probably screwed it up when i cut the drl power wire but then i thought it cant be from that.

yeah sounds like it may be your motor

On my runner, the back 2 roll downs do that, they roll down normal, but go up slow....could that be just the slider?

this can also be caused by an old seal that has swelled, and has no lubrication. I would try using some silicone lube in the window channels to help the window go up and down.

yeah the channel must be not lubricated, because before i pulled the window up while i was holding the switch and then the window went up faster when i let go. but i think the motor might have died because there was too much resistance for it. but i think the thing finally stopped working yesterday morning because it was frosty and the window wouldn't go down because of the ice on the window and that probably strained the motor.

i will probably open up the door and check it out tomorrow. thanks for the help

The motors are usually pretty good for a long time. Usually moving parts like the scissor lift little roller bearings or the rubber slides where the glass sits gets dry and like others said puts resistance on the motor.

Sounds like you are on the right track by taking off the door panels. Just spray everything down with some lubricant.

I'm saying don't clutter it up with useless postings asking for a guys ban. Hit the exclamation mark, and report it to a mod. Its that simple.

? I don't know what the problem here is, but all i said was to not clutter his thread with accusations of racism. Why don't you just report the post and be done with it?

Lol no, you are not getting banned. It has passed, no need to bring up old dirt. Next time, just watch what you say.

My truck did the same thing when i bought it my window switch was very dirty and the contacts kind of bent so i cleaned them and what not put it back together worked for about 8 months and it just started doing it again it will go down perfect but when it needs to go up it wont work at all it makes me so angry i have to reach over and use the passenger switch thats broken as well i need a cover thing for it if anyone has an extra laying around all i have is the black plastic part with contacts and i usually burn myself when using it. for my fingertips sake if you have one let me know.

Ed there were a few at the wreckers a few weeks ago... no promises but I'll see what I can find...

My passenger side window only goes up when I use the driver's side control but only goes down using the passenger side control. What's up with that?

gary96360

ok i put a power tester light thingie to the switch and found power going to it. does that mean that the window motor is screwed?

aviator

not necessarily it could be that the tracks are binding as a previous post mentioned or just a lack of lube on the crank mechanism, or dirty contacts on the motor plug connections.
I used white spray lithium grease [jigaloo brand I think] on the tracks and mechanism before I closed up the doors with sound deadener and so far no worries...

gary96360

ok i checked out the wiper motor by using a spare battery and connected 2 wires + and - and then stuck them into the terminals. the window went down right away, i made it go back up to close it. i then pulled out the plug from the switch and then stuck in wires, the window went down. i tried this on the window switch on the drivers side and the passenger side went down. there is power in the plugs i used a test light. i have no idea what to do next.
