Passenger Side Power Window Problem
 

I've noticed one minor problem with my new roadster; the passenger side window seems to have a "logic" problem!

When you open the door and the window drops a quarter inch or so, it doesn't automatically raise back up when you close the door. In fact, if you keep opening and closing the door the window will work its way completely down.

Likewise with putting both windows down withe the key fob, both windows will roll down fine but if you try to put them up with the actual key in the door lock, the passenger side window won't raise.

The "one touch up" feature also doesn't work with the passenger window but thankfully, the window works just fine, up or down otherwise by using the door panel switch!

I'm going to try the "fix" (http://www.the370z.com/audio-video/8...-installs.html )but if that doesn't do the trick l get it looked at in a few days.

Just thought I'd throw this out there in case anyone else taking delivery of a new roadster notices a similar problem!

It's an old Z bug, inherited by the 370, unfortunately. Take it to the stealership for a warranty job. Good luck.

Nash, try reseting the memory functions. That usually it every time. Stealership...lol

windows down - hold switch down for 10 seconds.
windows up - hold switch up for 10 seconds.

Should be fixed.

Same problem happened to me after i had the speakers installed. Just reset it and it should be fine

I agree with the reset. Try it that should fix the problem.

Thanks everyone...I'll be giving the "reset" a try tonight!

Did it work?

Wow...impatient bunch here! :)

Yes...it worked...that's all the was needed!

LOL actually not impatient just wanted to bump a thread because I did not want to see the spam thread. Glad it worked.

I had to reset 3 Z's yesterday because of this!

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................ :tup:

I doubt it is the motors it is the programing for how the motors should act.

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.

:wtf2:

Robert, here's the new one :D

What are you - a kitteh person?

I'll bet your two are a hoot together!

Let's see.......... NOPE, no vagina!

Worked for me
 

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

Wow! This worked, thank you so much (also thanks to Robert_Nash for
starting the thread)! I was just now getting ready to leave for the dealership,
power window problem had started after a battery change and this fixed it!

Not sure if this is an inherit problem from the 350Z, but I had that problem when I had my old 350Z. The problem is that the wear residue from the brushes on the motor coats a sensor connector that is built into the motor and short it out. Once cleaned and a little non conductive epoxy applied to the connection, it was fixed. I hope this is not a repeat but at least I know the cause and it is easily fixed once out of warranty.
