Noticed my window motors going slow. Need replacing or is there a way of fixing this on a 1998 classic.

 

could be a battery problem

 

Could be, I've just stuck a spare on unit get new one sorted. But think its been going for abit

 

My front passenger is the same, i suspect its not the motor, as i replaced this and was exactly the same, the odd thing is, if you use the window button on the door its faster than if you use the drivers control button for that window, with car running as well

 

I've got the same thing with mine. Drivers side rear is dead slow going up and sometimes takes a few clicks to even go up. I suspect it's the control panel on the drivers door itself as the switch in the back is fine going up and down.

 

stick a multi-meter on the motor connection and operate the window switch, see what voltage you are getting at the motors,
could be a sh ite connection in the door to body loom section for example.

 

Cheers for replies. Guessing buying a new motor isn't best way then. Luckily I have full enclosure, so just lock the car and it does all the windows saves me waiting. But just wanted to resolve problem.

 

My passenger one is that bad tho the rubber is enough to stop it to think its reached total closure, it hasnt, i have to open the door and then press the button again to get it to fully close, im only talking 1cm or so but its enough to create wind noise grrrrr

 

have you cleaned the window runners and lubed them, not with wd40 lol.

 

What would you use to lube them stig?

 

I have done this a few times with Castrol grease.

Helped a bit but didn't solve it.

 

A silicone spray, the traditional wd40 would just turn to a glue with all the dust in it,

Cheers stig I have some of that already. I'll give that a go when I get a chance, can't hurt.

 

Give them a good clean, its, worth the effort of door cards off and really getting in there, it also gives you chance to clean and re-lube all the moving parts/teeth etc,
Carb / brake cleaner is useful, but will strip the old grease away, so make sure you re-lube well.

 

Nope. I will try that next. Loads of jobs to add to the list. Rear arches, windows, rocker gaskets, new bumper support beams, new rear number plate lights.

 

Any decent guide on here for removing door cards? As not done it in a while?
