Passenger Side Power Window Problem

SmoothZ · 11-18-2009, 08:34 PM

So they never fixed the shitty window motors? Dammit!

This my fifth Z since 2004 and I've never had the problem before and it took all of 20 seconds to fix...I'd hardly call the motors (if it's even the motors themselves in the first place) "shitty".

I replaced THREE power window motors in my 2000 Z28 over a three year period...that's what I call "shitty" (and they sure as hell weren't inexpensive).

Was your Z a 2004 or 2004.5? Makes a difference..

1984 Alfa Romeo GTV-6 power window setup was an ugly thing. Complete with a serpentine cable that wrapped around about eight components. 20 seconds does not sound like a problem to me either, Robert.

Hey btw, I have two black lab/bassett hound mix dogs. You have to see them to believe them...imagine black labs with floppy ears and stubby little legs................

I've actually seen that mix before and it is a bit odd but the seemed like great dogs.

I hope your two picked up some of the lab's "desire to please" attitude and a little less of the basset hound's "I'm going to do what I want whether it makes you mad or not" attitude"!

Well at risk of thread derail....Bassett genes appear to be dominant.

Here are pics of two of them:

Hey it's my thread and I don't mind...I find talking about hounds as enjoyable as talking about cars!

You've got two great looking dogs there but they do look more like black basset hounds than black labs!

Bassets are stubborn beyond belief and absolutely driven by food but I wouldn't trade mine for anything!

Actually the one in the picture frame is long gone, he was the prototype.

The other one is a more recent dog rescued from a shelter since my wife was sad after the demise of the first one. Now we have even another one, I'll dig up a photo. This one has longer legs, and is much more lab-like.

All three of them have the basset feet that are turned to the side for digging purposes and those enormous claws. The new one with the longer legs is all messed up...the front legs are just twisted to hell and she's all bowlegged, lol.

Passenger side window didn't do auto up. 10 second up and down solution solved the problem. Saved a service visit. Thanks!
