Power Windows Problem

Lancer's power window (driver side) switch was not working, all other windows were working, so there might
not be fuse problem, so i removed the switch components, and seperated the circuit and connected with
socket and tried it, but still was not working, i have attached the picture of the circuit and switch, marked in
red. That switch is not working, no spring action, and there is trace of blown smoke around it, suspect that it
got fried. so where can i source that switch alone and replace by soldering it?
How could i check the resistor near the switch, since it also looks smoky, i suspect it might should also be
replaced, but i am sure i can get resistor of that value, but i am not sure whether i can get the switch. Also i
have multimeter with me, but dont know how to check the resistor. please help.

I don't think you can get the switch alone unless you can find 1 from scrapped or accident rejects.Most
probabely the contact plates inside the switch must have melt down or damaged , to check this you need to

further disassemble the switch.

Are you sure that switch is faulty , motor in window regulator or its connectors may also be faulty. simply
check by using multimeter in DC volt mode operating the switch if it is able to switch power to motor or not ?
or drectly supply battery powewr to motor to confirm that motor and mechanical regulator is OK.
Power Window Failure? How to manually roll your window up

This happened some days ago but I could not post it earlier due to non working internet connection and later
due to some issues with my laptop. First of all a big thank you to "SS-Traveller". I've bugged this gentleman
with car problem, dental problem and what not and he has never disappointed me. Thanks you so much
Dada for taking my call at 10:30 in the night and suggesting the jugaad. I guess the best way to thank him
would be to spread the knowledge I gained during this episode.

Jugaad (Hindi: ) means a creative idea, a quick, alternative way of solving or fixing problems.
(Source: Wiki)
One fine evening around 9:15, I was pulling out of my office parking lot and pressed the power window
switch to roll down the window and handover the parking token to the security guys. After that the window
refused to roll up. I pulled over to a side and tried again. Nope, still the same. It goes down but doesn't go
up. Tried various things like switching off the car and starting again (this should be enough to guess that I
work in IT), opening the door and slamming it shut again (9+ years in the IT industry; my mind is
programmed to behave this way now). The passenger side window was working normally. The driver side
window was rolling down alright. It just wasn't rolling up. The switch was feeling different when trying to roll
up the window so I guessed the problem should be with the switch only. Eventually the driver side window
was fully down now. It was past 9 pm and all the shops would have closed by now. I thought to brave the
chilling winds and head home and then see what I can do about it.
So I drove on NH 8 from Gurgaon to Delhi and somewhere around the halfway mark my right cheek went
into cryogenic freeze with the left one planning to follow suit. Got home and armed with the emergency light
and screwdriver I set to work. Disconnected the power window switch, reconnected and tried again. Nope,
no luck.
Thought of applying some brute force. Tried to hold the window glass & pull up the window with force. It did
not budge an inch! So much for brute force.
Next I opened the door panel. Since I've seen this happen before on my car I know where the screws are
and where the clips are. It would be a good idea to know the same about your car. Upon opening I could not
think of a way to get the window rolled up. I park on the road outside my house so it wasn't safe to park the
car whole night with a window open.
It was 10:30 now and I was hungry tired and frustrated. Next I SMSed SS-Traveller and after that I called
him. He suggested me this arrangement to atleast get the window rolled up.
OK so here goes the jugaad. This thread is only a stopgap arrangement, until you can find an electrician
(mechanic) who can fix the real issue. In my case, all I did the next day was to buy a new power window
switch for Rs 150/-.
First 3 images explain in very basic the movement of parts which gets restricted when the power window
fails.

So after the boring textbook pics here are the pics from the spot.

I think the diagrams don't need any explanation. If someone requires more details please let me know. I
would be happy to provide.
I also invite suggestions from TBHPians about other ideas which can be implemented.

This 1983 Nissan Stanza Power Supply Routing and Wiring Diagram is helpful in identifying specific problems in

The power supply diagram shows that there cannot be a problem between the battery, ignition relay, ignition
switch of fuse since the power supply circuit for the rear window defogger is common with the turn signal lamp.
Therefore, the cause of this specific problem must lie past the fuse, such as in the wiring, rear window defogger, of

How to Diagnose and Replace a Mitsubishi Window Regulator

Posted on Autos.com Editor

on October 7, 2013

If the windows in your vehicle are stuck and will not move up or down, its likely that theres
some sort of a problem with your Mitsubishi window regulator. The window regulator
controls the motions of the windows in the car; when its broken, the windows remain fixed in
place. The Mitsubishi Eclipse window regulator, like most other updated vehicle regulators, is
electrically powered. Some older vehicles have manually powered regulators that are operated
by a turn knob thats found on the inside of the car door. If you have an automatically powered
regulator thats broken, youll need to engage in Mitsubishi automatic window repair in order to
.properly solve the problem and get your windows working again
Tools and Materials Needed:

Screwdrivers of different sizes

Prying tool
Volt meter
Replacement window regulator thats the same as the one currently in your Mitsubishi
Step 1 Diagnose the Problem

Test to see if all of the windows are broken or if only some of them are fixed in place. If all of the
windows are broken, theres likely some sort of an electrical problem with the regulator or a
.blown fuse. These problems can often be fixed without resorting to replacing the entire system
Listen for sounds of the regulator motor working when you try to open or close any of the
windows that are broken. If you do hear sounds of this nature coming from the door, its likely
that a part of the system has come out of alignment and that youll have to reset it before the
.windows will work again
Step 2 Access the Door Panel

Remove the door panel in order to access the regulator. Unscrew the screws that attach the
plastic door panel to the car door. Set the screws aside in a safe place for later on. Use the
.prying tool to carefully remove the panel from the metal door

Step 3 Visually Assess the Damage and Check for Electricity

Inspect the regulator for signs of damage to the wiring or for blown fuses. If you do see any
damage, you can often fix the problem by simply replacing the broken components. Otherwise,
.check that electricity is flowing through the circuit properly by using a volt meter
Step 4 Replace the Regulator, If Necessary

Remove the bolts that attach the regulator motor to the door. Carefully remove the regulator
from the door, being sure that the electricity is off first. Follow the installation instructions to
attach the new Mitsubishi window regulator in the old ones place. Make sure that electrical
.power is flowing to the new regulator before you reattach the car door panel
.If you have any questions, consult with a mechanic

Window Regulator / Window Motor Repair

I had the lucky fortune to fix the motor in my drivers side window and then have the regulator break on
my passengers side window. Since it was my second go, I decided to document the repair. Hopefully this
write-up will help others to tackle the job themselves. Its pretty easy, but slow and requires patience.
Theres no need to pay the Land Rover dealer to fix the windows.
Tools Needed
5/16 ratchet (1/4 drive) or similar
Philips head screwdriver (magnetic head is nice)
Torx bit attachment for ratchet (T-30)

Also helpful:
Painters tape (for holding up window)

Duct tape or similar for repairing torn plastic sheeting

Panel removal tool
Nitrile gloves (the door adhesive is kind-of goopy)
Patience
Parts Needed (Mail order, eBay or Land Rover dealer)
Broken motor: if you can hear a clicking sound when you depress the window switch but the window
doesn't budge there's a good chance your motor is broken. There are two connectors in the OEM motor: a
door harness connector and a harness-to-motor connector. The latter was much easier for me to reach. Be
warned, though, that the Proline motors dont have this connector (they are hardwired). So, unless youre
comfortable getting to the door harness connector (which I wasn't) you might want to buy the OEM (Land
Rover) motor.
Window regulator: if you hear your motor moving but the window movement is jerky, doesn't move all the
way, or makes a cracking sound you probably need a new regulator. There's a left-hand and right-hand
version, so make sure you order the correct one. I used the less expensive Proline regulator, and so far it
appears to work fine. This photo shows the part that commonly breaks in the regulator.

Both parts are readily available at Rovers North and Atlantic British.
-------------------------------------These are my experiences use at your own risk!!! If youre not comfortable with this then pay
someone to do it!!!
-------------------------------------Step #1
Remove the two Philips head screws in the door handle

Step #2
Remove the four Philips head screws from the bottom of door map pocket

Step #3
Remove one Philip head screw from behind escutcheon (pull back the door handle to get to it). Keeping the
door handle pulled back, twist out the escutcheon and remove it

Step #4
Using panel removal tool, putty knife or brute force (at your own risk) carefully pry off the panel from the
door. In general, you can use more force than you think you should be able to (dont be afraid of breaking
it). Note Step #5, as youll have to do both in succession.

Step #5
Carefully unclip the woofer and (if available) tweeter plug so that you can fully remove the door panel.

Step #6
Carefully peel back the plastic sheeting from the bottom of the door (see photo). I tore it from around the
round fasteners maybe theres a better way, I dont know You only need to be able to get to the bottom
section of the door. Once its cleared, you might want to use some painters tape to hold it out of the way.

Step #7
Using the ratchet with 5/16 head, remove the 4 bolts shown in the pictures

Step #8
Again using the ratchet, loosen the 2 bolts shown in the picture (loosen about 80% of the way)

Step #9
You may want to tape the window in a middle position to make things easier. Slide the two remaining
regulator bolts over and out of the retaining holes. The regulator will be hanging freely off the window at this
point.
Step #10
Remove the tape and carefully let the window slide down toward the bottom of the door until you can see the
two window bolts holding the regulator to the window. Carefully loosen these two bolts (again with 5/16
ratchet).

Step #11
You might want to lift the window 2-3 and again tape it in place. Carefully slide the regulator window track
to the right to remove the assembly from the window bolts.
Step #12
Remove the plug from the window motor to release it from the wiring harness. Ive marked on the photo
where the plug is located. You can now carefully collapse the regulator assembly and carefully remove it
from the bottom hole in the door.

Step #13
Depending upon whether you are replacing the regulator or the motor, use a torx bit to remove the 3 torx
screws from the existing motor.

Step #14
Swap the motor/regulator (whichever is broken) to the new motor (or new regulator) reusing the existing
torx screws.

Step #15
Work backwards starting with Step #14 above steps to reinstall everything. You might want to use duct tape
or a similar sealant to repair tears in the plastic sheeting if you made a mess of the removal.
Step #16

Test out your newly repaired window. Take pride in a job well done. Drive around the block with the windows
down and smile.
