Re: Power window issues

Re: Power window issues
try some wd 40 on the elevators...that worked for me. Also do the key locks and everything that moves inside the door while you are at it..dont forget door hinges

Re: Power window issues
One thing that went on me was the little arm that pushed the contacts inside teh switch was getting week and couldn't efficiently complete teh circuit, either causing the window to do up slowly or actually wouldnt go up anymore, it would flex back when trying to push the contact to put the windows up, but would stay rigid (like it's suppose to) when pushing the contacts in teh other direction when putting the windows down. It did that for both passenger, and then the driver side experience the same thing a year later.
