So the other day i did a cleaning on my g35 interior, thinking this might be the cause.. i spray down an everything in the interior and then wipe everything, after this I hit with a high pressure air to get dirt out of cracks etc but I'm thinking it may have damaged something in the window switch possibly? I do a cleaning like this to every car that comes our dealership so it should've been no issue... well I drove down the road and then stopped at my buddy's place, went to put the windows down and the driver went down but the passenger window wouldn't go down from inside the car on either switch. The driver window is glitchy as well, when it's all the way down it sometimes rolls up the first time and sometimes it go up a smudge bit and then back down.. then have to tell it to go up a few times. A thing I figured out though is that from outside the car I can use the key whole trick in the door and both the windows will go up and down no problem... really don't want to take it to Infiniti, hoping someone knows how to fix it, I talked to the techs I work with at ford and they really don't have a good idea of the issue. Thanks

 

Could have possibly gotten water on or into a crevice that you shouldn't have with the high pressure air and shorted something.

If the windows work normally using the key in the door, and by holding the unlock button on your fob then it's not a motor issue, so probably a wiring one.

 

I had a weird issue like that about a month ago where my passenger window would not go up or down from either of the inside switches but would work via the key or fob trick after rolling the windows down with the key fob. I ended up just pressing the window lock button and after that it worked fine. May be something as simple as that.

 

Wow, that fixed it..... I feel like a complete dumbass😂Didn't even know we had that feature.. well thanks for the help!

 

For the future, there is some delicate electrical components under the window switches, they're normally protected against drippage in case the window is down but when you use compressed air to blow out the dust it can get moisture/oil into them. I would recommend a set of detailing brushes for that kind of work. A high pressure air hose has no business inside a vehicle unless it's used from a couple feet away.

Air can cause all sorts of issues, especially when used around the instrument cluster, airborn dust will trap on the INSIDE of the plastic lens, moisture/oil can be spat out (fixed with a trap installed on the line), grease can be dislodged from other components in the vehicle and smeared around stuff its not supposed to be on, the optical drive in a BR/DVD/CD player will be broken, etc.

 

I completely understand what you're saying but me and every other detailing shop does it the same way or atleast the one I work for, I detail for ford and do all types of used cars... I have yet to have a single issue... just like people say you have to put something around your fuse box and air box and whatever else when you wash the engine.. i spray degreaser all over the engine and power wash everything with out covering anything and haven't seen any issues... if you've got an aftermarket intake, just don't spray right into it or put a bag around it other wise you're good.. compressed air is honestly my favorite tool to clean with for interior, it is the easiest way to clean dirty mats, get dirt out of cracks in the door and all the crevices on the interior, or stubborn parts in carpet that you can't brush or vacuum easily..

 

Yeah I understand that, just saying that doing thing quick =/= doing things right. Engine bay connectors have gaskets designed to keep out water for the most part but pressurized spray can make it's way around them and cause havoc. Or sometimes those rubber protectors are missing due to decay or were removed during maintenance and never reinstalled. The engine bay is designed to a degree for residual splashes from deep puddles (with a lot of splash guards to prevent this from happening) but it's a fairly delicate computer that is sensitive to water damage.

As a detail shop trying to quickly turn vehicles over for SALE it's an industry accepted practice, but you won't ever see a quality detailer working privately owned vehicles doing stuff like that (at least they would never let the customer know...). Caustics cause damage to rubber components pressurized spray causes moisture contamination in stuff, and it's likely to cause damage in the long run, or at least temporary gremlins until the moisture dries up.

Enough of that though, I'm glad you got the vehicle working again!
