STUCK WINDOW! Can you help?!


Recommended Posts

Posted

How about I offer some actual help...

Check the red and yellow wires coming out of the drivers window switch... When pushing the up button check the yellow wire for 12v and the red for ground. They will be thicker gauge wiring. This will tell you if the switch is working.

Do the other windows work and did you check all the fuses?

At first ALL the windows wouldnt go up, so i checked and replaced all the fuses and the drivers window wont go up.

Had this happen in my ants car, the switch gets dirty and messed up over time, I usually get hers to work when i pull the switch out, then it works for a few months and stops, so could be a bad switch

take baby steps, u cant do it all at once unless u have a roll of 100's big enough to choke a donkey

To the OP. If you check out sableowners.com post it on the forums there and I guarantee you get exact answer with wire colors and everything. It does sound like a bad window switch though. It's common for a 20 year old switch to get bad contact on the metal prongs after so much use. Also, why were all of the fuses popped? Did you ground something out? Might have damaged more like the window motor or regulator. Sorry if anything is a report read through most of the replies but not all.

Thanks for stopping by FAG

And I vote bad switch

There are two wires going to the window motor.

They will be of heavy gauge. (thick)

Grab a cordless drill batt and touch the 2 wires to pos, and neg.

Try it both ways, 1 way is up, 1 is down.

If the window still doesnt go up, then it's the motor.

If it does go up, then its a bad switch or connection.

No not ALL the fuses were poped! Just the one for the windows and power locks

Hey man thanks! I never would have thought about the cordless drill batt. I will try that also! Im thinking it is the switch, also, cuz it was working fine and the motor wasnt slowing down. If that is the case looks like i am going to pull a part!
