96 Es300 Power Window Problems


Recommended Posts

I have 96 ES300 and seems like this is common problem with them. My drivers window will go down but will not go up. Only after a while it will move up less than an inch. Ive tried another master window switch and still the same problem so it's not the master window switch. Anyone knows how to fix this, this is really annoying and have not been able to use window for over a year now.

with my firebird, which acted the same way, it was the window motor. Cheap enough to buy, a pain in the butt to install. It goes down easy, the motor heats up because the bushings are worn, and it overheats, stopping the window rise. Wait a few minutes and try to raise and it raises a bit more, then again, overheats and stops. Look on ebay for a replacement motor, but again, on my firebird, it was a pita install.

I guess I could try that but there's no guarantee ebay motor will be better than what's on there.
