Sorry for the tacky title. So my time has come for the window motor to FAIL. Today I realize my passenger side window no longer raise or lower when i open/close the door, and pressing the window button do nothing (geez i am glad it failed while it's up instead of leaving it open or stuck halfway up).

...I heard this window drama before even tho i don't know how many of you guys had the motor replaced. but for those who DID HAD the motor replaced, Can you give me an idea how much you guys paid for the repair and where did you guys got it done?

ALL INPUT ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!(if for any reason you don't want others to know you had your window motor(s) replaced, feel free to PM me !)



i know it's not a very good pic(especially bad photoshopped-ness) but i am still at work and i think i should try to make this thread interesting even if it fundamentally isn't

 

maybe the lock window button (on the driver's side control) is been depressed or has shorted out

 

it moves a tiny bit when i just tried .. and i can hear a faint whine from the door

 

sounds like its busted then hopefully you can get it fixed under warranty - gl man

 

THANKS for the reply man! i wish i still have warranty lol, my car is 03 with 51k miles

 

if it's still under warranty, take it to the dealership. they should replace the motor without any hassle.

 

More than likely the window motor is out, seen it here a few times. If you're not under warranty I can give you a good price on the motor. Installation isn't to hard, i've done it myself before, the only hard part is making sure the window is lined up correct once you put everything back together, otherwise when you close the door and the window goes up a bit by itself it will be a little bit off, kind of have to play with it a little bit. Just pop off the grip cap and behind there is a screw, take it out and then start poping the door panel off carefully to not break any of the plastic clips, unplug the control switch too. Then you use a socket wrench to take off the thin metal plate hiding the motor and door lock actuator. You'll see the motor and it pretty much comes right out, just unplug it and unscrew it. Then you plug in the new motor screw it in plug in the control panel and roll it up and down a few times to make sure it works fine. Then start putting it all back together, should take about an hour with the right tools. Hope that helps some? Don't be afraid to do it yourself, it's actually a cake walk just be patient.

 

I think it's a manufacturer defect on Infiniti's part. Personally I have had my window motors replaced under warranty 3 times already. Twice the dealership messed up my door panels while installing the new window motor. ( 2 diff. dealerships) So now I rather just push down the damn window when I exit the vehicle.

 

damn! that sucks! things is my car don't have warranty anymore

 

i am so glad guys like you are on this forum lol

 

Here's a link to a DIY motor replacement:

thanks man i read that but then i was afraid to mess things up. it's a really good write up tho must say

 

Trust me, I've taken my door panel off so many times you really can't go wrong. It's fairly simple and that thread walks you through it step by step.

 

THANKS! i just did it already, gotta love that thread! woohoo

 

Glad you fixed it
