Intermittent power window problems continue
A little background. I had my door locks replaced under warranty and a few months later the driver side window refuses to retract upon open/close and the switch no longer functions, but it is intermittent. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Motor appears to be fine, full speed open/close when the signal reaches it. Anyone have a similar problem?
I plan on taking off the door panel and checking the switch this weekend, but not sure where to go once I confirm that's secure. The frequency of 'not functioning' appears to be increasing, possibly tied somewhat to the heat index. It's 110 every day here in Phoenix. Thanks for reading

That was my suspicion, I was just hoping it was a connection issue rather than the motor. I don't think I'll be rebuilding it, sadly. Over 90 degrees for the low until October...
Although I would pay someone to clean it out for me.... anyone in Phoenix interested? Haha

I had the same problem about a couple of years ago, by pounding on the door panel the window worked. I took apart the window motor and found that as carbon dust builds up on the motor brush assembly the motor brush spring is not strong enough to overcome all the carbon dust friction. I had to remove the brush carefully and clean out all the excess carbon dust. By doing this the motor brush now moves freely and is applying the proper pressure the the armature. Since doing that my window(s) have been working fine for a year now.
I also installed the 5 dollar door lock actuators as both my door locks were failing. Last week I had my radiator motor fans replaced as it died and cause my G to overheat. I had it towed to Infiniti and they fixed it under the 96 month manufacturer warranty. This is a high maintenance car!
