Hey guys,

Yesterday as i was putting my windows up my drivers side decided to suddenly stop. Now I've pulled apart the door and tried to find the culprit, now i dont think its the mech as when i click it on and off with the car acc on i hear this little black thing that the mech goes to from the back and as I move the mech to on and off etc it makes clicking noises from it but doesnt engange in the window moving at all :blink:

so if this is the culprit what does it actually do etc? and how much would i be looking at to fix it and also I cant take my car out at the moment due to it not being secure so is there anyway of manually getting the window up?

Thanks guys appreciate any help possible,

Tim

I had a similar problem in my 33 ages ago, except that mine would wind up but not down so it was a pain more than anything else.

Anyway, mine ended up being a dry solder joint in the black box that contains the relays. An auto electrical mate (Chris Rogers, who posts on here actually :wave: ) diagnosed and fixed the problem, for a total cost of $0.

In your case though, if the box is clicking the relays are actually working, so the problem sounds like it's somewhere between the box and the window motor/mechanism. Get a multimeter onto the motor if you can reach it, and see if the voltage is getting that far. If it doesn't, there's a break in the wires. If it does, you either have a fried window motor or a stuck mechanism. It should be easy enough to work out which based on whether the motor seems to be "trying" to work or not.

FYI the box controls the auto up/down function.

I had a problem with my window only about a month ago, I had the same problem and when I tried to put the window up and down i'd hear a clicking sound in the black box you have posted.

However, after testing it and speaking to people on SAU we were sure it was the actuall motor, went to a import wrecker and picked up one and fixed my problem :P

Don't suppose anyone knows how you would go about removing the power window motor? From what i can gather, it's down near the speaker? Its a bit hard to tell with all the bits & pieces in the door. I can see the relay moving, so i'm guessing it's the motor that's stuffed. Thanks peeps.

You're gonna have to pull the door lining off. There's a tutorial on the forum that explains how to remove the door trim. It's easy, just be gentle :teehee:

cheers mate, i've already taken the trim off and checked out the relay. Hooked it up without it in the little black box and can see it clicking away. So that seems kosher. Just need to know how the heck do i get the motor out? lol So many screws and do dads to yank at. Was'nt this complicated on my old 31 haha Dont wory, gentle is my middle name, actually its my last

    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
    • We revised the neutral wire instructions. The old way was wrong.  R34 gearbox change.pdf
