So I left the house for work this morning and noticed my door was a bit harder to close than normal. I figured the cold weather was the cause as it always seems to need more 'umph' to close in cold weather (harder rubber). So going to lunch I noticed a lot of wind noise from outside coming in. I try to put up the drivers side window but it wont work. I look at the window and it appears the top portion is snug while the bottom portion near the frame of the door is open. Its far enough open to stick a finger through (like your pinky). Now I am completely aware of the window motor problems of this car.

But the window wont go up/down at all and it seems to have seized in place. As you all know when you close the door hte window rolls down/up to ensure a seal. However, my window no longer does that either. Something is definitely wrong. The reason for my post before I visit the dealer is could this be a fuse?? Before driving to the dealer and having to waste 3 hrs for something like a fuse, maybe I can just swap it myself. Anybody have this kind of issue?? I know that many have had faulty window motors but I wasnt aware of the extent of the problem....G is pissing me off...every 2-3 months something comes up w/ it..

 

my first guess is that if it were a fuse, other devices would be out for the count as well. Im thinking you motor just died.

 

Most likely a motor. I literaly replaced 100s of them when I was at Infiniti and no fuses that I can remember. If you car is still in warranty go ahead and take it to the dealer as they will cover it. If not I have them in stock and your price would be $184.02 for the part and I can check with a tech to see how much a side job would cost. Also just in case you need to get the part the part number is 80731-CD001. Good luck and let me know what happens.

Edit* For now try hitting the inside of the door rather hard a few times. Sometimes it will jar it loose enough to get it working enough to make it go up or down once. It is by no means a fix for the problem.

 

It's not a fuse. You either need a new motor and/or regulator, or the timing needs to be reset. Either way, you need to go to the dealer for repair.

 

i htink i have a faulty system too. My driver side, sometimes when it's down and i click to put it back up..i heard motor running then stop. Have to do it a few times before it works. retarded

goodluck puria

Warranty's up for something like this at 60K right? I'm at 53K or so and I kinda hope mine goes out!!

 

Yes 4 years or 60K bumper to bumper, 8 year 80K for emissions

 

ok, im at 48k miles and i have an 04 so i just need to find a dealer. I called Jay Tippet IOC and he said they will try to squeeze me in today

 

If you get an appointment you should drop in here and take a look around. Its a really nice dealership!

 

Definitley the motor or regulator...Passport Infiniti has replaced my drivers side motor and regulator 3 times and my passenger side once. Make sure that when you get it fixed that they align the window properly when they put it back in. I have to take mine back in cause air get in through the side and water gets in when I wash my car.

 

haha thats funny b/c i'm getting my driver window motor done tomorrow. yea dave and jeff is right, it ain't no fuse, its definetly the motor. if IOC can't fit you in, give me a call tomorrow or whenever. i'll be at work 'til 4pm, 703-827-2135.

 

good luck

 

Hey, one of my techs here at work just came from IOC, he just told me that he has 2 brand new window motors, both sides if anyone needs them. So if anyones warranty is up, and needs a window motor, let me know.

 

LOL at technicians! I had some at IOT that had their own parts department in their tool boxes...

 

and they still do!! danny trying to sell me a sirus radio kit. lol
