Ok so now I have a little issue that maybe you guys can help me with. I noticed that when it is could outside I have to hold the switch to get the windows to roll up. When I try to us the auto up it stops and returns down which I assume is a safety feature. Earlier this week I washed the car good and while I was waxing had the windows down. I got in it today to roll the window up and the drivers side window is completely non responsive. I can hear the relay clicking but no motor. Do you think the motor burnt up or is there a fuse that I am unaware of. I had the door halfway tore apart but did not get into it to far because I am unsure as to how everything bolts together with the window. Any ideas?

 

wow, that sucks. I dont know much about our G's set ups. Good luck bro...

 

I had the same issue about a month ago...My window got stuck in the down position though...and would NOT come back up.

I tore the door apart and pulled the motor out. What you do is take the motor apart. You will need to separate the two halves and pull out the armature. You will see two metal contacts inside where you pulled out the armature. They are called brushes. You will need to make sure they are clean of debris (mine was really gunked up). Do a good job cleaning it up and and spray some lithium grease back down into the gear and put it all back together. There is a procedure on how to reset the anti pinch mechanism once you get it all back together. if you search you will find it...I don't remember off the top of my head but it was easy. Get in there and go for it!

 

I forgot to mention....My window works as good as new. It even sounds stronger when its operating. Save yourself the $200 and do it!

 

Thanks!!! That sounds exactly like what is going on. I will have to try and get into it today.

 

yea its quite a problem with 03-04 G35 coupes

My drivers side window doesnt go down when its super cold outside.
it goes down and up when it wants to lol. i already purchased a new
window motor i just dont want to fork out what the dealer is going to
charge me to install lol. ill wait until the spring time to get it fixed.

 

thats a strange thing , anyone have this happen on sedans ?

 

Well if all goes well with mine, I can help you install yours Brian. I will let you know in the next couple of days how I fared lol. Hopefully no broken window! I need to get this done so I can get my car over to the shop and get my exhaust on...I am looking forward to hearing it!

 

From what I understand it is really only a problem on the coupes. Some people think its because coupes have heavier glass but use the same motor.

 

Actually Brian the more I think about it, your problem may be the switch relay. I noticed mine was acting a little funny when I had it pulled out...almost like there was a bad connection. If it is that, that is super easy to change out. I am not sure how much it costs though. Don't quote me on that...I am a plumber, not an mechanic lol.

 

Sweet! That would make sense. Now I just have to figure out which nuts to take off inside the door panel!

 

all of them

Yeah I just saw that. I was half afraid something would fall off inside if I un-bolted the wrong ones.

 

nice Grant!
let me know how this whole DIY turns out for you!
