SKperformance Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 ok my windows have been a problem for a while i ordered a used master switch form cali and it was out of a 92 cmary and it was very different inside as i was going to cannibalize it for electrical parts it seems as i opened up my switches for the windows that the contacts had been covered in black carbon from arcing contacts so i cleaned them all up and they work fine now with the exception of one of my buttons the oin is broken mad ea good difference basically had to remove the door panel and then the master switch then slowly open it up and clean the contacts which do not like to stay in place but it was worth saving the 250 for a new one
yaupoman Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 I was going to say. I thought my windows (98 ES300) bought two weeks ago)are kind of slow as well. They work like there is not enough traction / power to get the windows up and down. Are they made / designed that way?
SKperformance Posted August 28, 2003 Author Posted August 28, 2003 they are not mad ethat way but if the user doesn't depress the button all the way it causes arcing which leaves carbon trails on the contacts which increase its resistance another problem is the alternator and power wires which i have also changed to elivitae some of the other problems also
bbsal Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 yea my passenger side front window is slow as a turtle!every other window goes up fast but that one.i was think the motor was going bad.i have to try the contact cleaning trick.but it does it with either switch!the driver master switch and its own switch so thats whats making me think its the motor.
SKperformance Posted August 29, 2003 Author Posted August 29, 2003 i thought that also but it depends as there is a common ground for both switches which supply power from the master to the slave switches so if there is any resistance on that current flow it will carry into the other one also
H8R Proof Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 <_< Yes, mine are slow and it's annoying. I want them to zoom up - LOL By the time I let go of my 92 ES, NONE of the windows worked. None of them. Imagine that kind of fun in So Cal I've also noticed that my windows do not roll up in unison. Yes, I notice things like that ;)
SKperformance Posted August 29, 2003 Author Posted August 29, 2003 hey nothgin wrng with that i used to race mine 2 by 2 to see which where slower i would have said to chaneg the master and everytign would have worked fine or clean it
ProZac Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 Hey SK give me $2 on Rear Driver Side window! "DADDY NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF SHOES!!!" hehe. Ya know what. i didn't notice my window being slow untill today when i was rolling it up and rememberd this thread!!! honest But that could have been just because i was watching it... Who knows!?!?!? :) All i know is that the windows on my sisters 97 ford explorer go up SUPER FAST, like honestly you should see it, i would bet them to Win/PLace/Show (the gamblers in the group should know what i mean :P ) Night!
