1992 4runner 3.0 auto

Rear window starts to go down then stops. I took the back panel off and the gear starts to move but then stops. I sprayed some penetrating oil along rails and no help. Is the window off track? Please help, i dont want to have to pay someone if its an easy fix. Thanks

 

Really hard to tell .

Something could have come apart blocking things.

Might just be a poor connection or worn motor

You should also lube the window regulator as well.

Get a helper get some voltage readings at the motor while it is trying to move.

 

Thanks for the advice, ill give it a try.

 

Update: with help from my mechanic we found out the window mechanism was rusted enough not to allow the window to work properly. We cleaned it up and lubed it well and now it works fine!

 

I was going to suggest a rusted track. What I do on mine to help stop and prevent more rusting is to coat the track with wheel bearing grease. Sometimes they rot out so bad you have to replace the track and or the wheel that rides in it.
