my vs has elec window problems

[TY318]

hey guys
just wondering if anyone had this problem b4 when i go to put my drivers side window down u have to press the button 20 million times to get it down along with helping it down when pressing the button to go up it seems fine but its also like it losing power to the elec motors or something the drivers regulator has been replaced twice i also replaced the fuse thinking maybe it mite help but a fuse is just a fuse and the switches in the console have been replaced aswell

check you seals around the window, might be bunching up

nah there not iv been over them its mostly the drivers window it like it turns on and off every time u press the switch to go up almost like its shorting but i can work out where it would short

It could be a faulty regulator or the switch assembly

maybe i was doing the same crap with the old switch and the other regs so i dno

When you replaced it did you have the sector gears in the correct positioning? But like you said if it takes you alot of times pressing the switch for it to go down then it might be the switch wiring is shorting out

yeh im pretty sure it in the correct position and im guess it could be shorting would i have to rip half the car apart to find the problem tho

Well if you had a multimeter it would be easy,I was also thinking it could be that the fuse connection might be corroded.But you need to check both ends of the wire at the switch and at the regulator to see if it is broken or stripped

ok i stil havnt found the problem to my drivers side window not working iv tested with a multi meter the wirers going from the switch it send constant power out when holding the switch then i tested the wirer loom/plug where the wirers go out the the door when i press the button it gets power then dies out. not sure why can anyone help me with this?

Might be a stripped gear mate or motor not getting enough power through it check the wire connections again by taking the door trim off then try openning the window and then you might actually see what the problem is

iv replaced the actuator 2x or 3 one of them anyways the window goes up fine its just not going down when u press the button it gets power for like half a second and then it dies out i took the door trim off when i was fiddling with everything the other day

Ok the only other thing I can think of is that the switch contacts need to be cleaned as they might be dirty,so you need to take the switch off and take the contacts off and give them a good clean be careful not to drop them,they should have like 4 sections that you can use a screwdriver to pop it out.

if ur talking bout the switch in the console then thats a brand spanking new switch so theres no need to clean it

[EDGE3]

Ok all I can say then is that all the new parts you have bought might be faulty I really dont know what else to say but good luck with it and sorry I couldnt be of more help.

might just take the fkn thing to a auto elec then
