Electric window Motor?

I get in to turn car on to go out but the windows on the driver side just makes noise?

How do I fully test the operation of the of the power window motor. All other windows work.

I know more about cars than the average female (gasp, yes I'm a woman lol) but electrical issues always stump me (as they do to many mechanics I know hahaha).

The motor on the driver's side was replaced several months ago and it was working fine. And, before the motor went, it obviously started to go slower and slower until it just wouldn't work anymore. This time is different. It just stopped going up and down (of course with the window halfway down) without warning. All other power windows working fine - 50amp fusible link under the hood is OK (and I assume if this were blown, all windows would not be working)

#1 - is there a manual override for the power windows in these cars (somewhere where I can crank it closed with a hex wrench or something until I have time to troubleshoot)?

#2 - is this most likely in the power window switch for the driver's window? Ie loose connection, bad switch, etc?

#3 - if it is something with the switch for the window - can I replace ONLY the one for the driver's window or do I have to replace the whole assembly?

Thank you! I've donated to you guys in the past and am ever so grateful for your help before for my old POS Pontiac (had to change user names as well as I couldn't remember lol) and was very happy with the answers you gave.

I took the unit out of the door, took the assembly apart to expose the circuit board, cleaned out the circuit board with compressed air and checked all connections. Window is working fine now.

Windows keep going down when I get out of car.

Hello Gentlemen! I have a 2002 Nissan Altima V6 with 40, 00 miles on it. My car was broken into and they ripped off the driver side mirror and ruined the door handle. I was told by the body shop that they took the wire harness. When I first saw the car after it was broken into I found my front 2 windows down. The windows will sometimes roll up but then roll back down. This happens when I shut off the motor or it can happen even several minutes later-up to 20 minutes later. It is as if the windows are possessed. The car has been at the shop for 2 weeks and they tell me they cannot diagnose the problem, although they have replaced the wire harness and fixed the door handle. They say the battery is drained and the driver door motor is unusually hot. This shop, which is in Memphis, says they cannot help me. A Nissan place in Mississippi looked at it today and the car supposedly did not "act up" while they were looking at it, so they say they cannot help me. I really need some advice. I am paying for a rental out of pocket and I can't do it anymore, plus it rains a lot in Memphis. I must find a way to close the windows and keep them shut. Advice is greatly appreciated:) Regards

How do I repair a drvers side window that fell off track and dropped down completely. Thank You

How do I remove the Remove the door panel?

My 2000 Nissan Altima front passenger power window stopped working. Here is some background.

1) First the switch on the FRONT PASSENGER door would NOT raise the window. BUT. We could still raise or lower it using the main switch on the drivers door.

2) Now the right front passenger window is stuck in the down position because neither switch (passenger door switch AND main switch on drivers door) will raise OR lower the window.

3) All other windows work fine.

Before I start spending money on parts that don't need to be replaced, I would like to know if anyone has an idea whether this is a switch problem. OR.A connector problem (there are two connectors in the passenger door). OR. The window motor is dead?

Keep in mind that it seemed like a switch or connector problem at first since we could only raise the window using the switch on the drivers door.

Meanwhile, until I repair this, does anyone know how I can at least get the window raised so we're aren't driving around like dorks with duct tape and visqueen on the window?

I am handy and have changed power window motors twice before but I'm not a mechanic, so please keep that in mind. =; P

Thank you very much!

There is a seller on Ebay offers 98 - 01 Nissan Altima, Frontier, sentra, Xterra power window switch repair service for a pretty reasonable price. My brother got his repaired and it works like new since. Its worth trying rather than spending nearly $ 100 for a new switch.

My son has an 2005 Altima 3.5 with about 75K miles. Lately, when his windows are mysteriously lowering during the night. He has even gone to the step of locking the window switch. Any ideas what could turn the windows on without a key?

In case you didn't know, the key fob can be used to lower the windows remotely. You do this by pressing the unlock button once, and then press it again and hold it. Perhaps there is a malfunction in the key fob that could be causing this. If you feel it is, try removing the batteries of all the key fobs and see if that stops the problem.

One other way to put the windows up and down is to insert the key in the door lock, and turn it (and hold) to the right to put the windows up, and turn it (and hold) to the left to put the windows down.

Both of these methods only include the front driver and passenger windows.

I hope this helps you get some answers. If you still need help I can contact a Nissan mechanic I know to see if he's heard of that happening before. I just purchased a 2005 (2.5L though) Altima and I'm loving it!
