Dear members,

I found that my passenger side power-window was acting strange. Both the driver master switch nor the passenger switch could have a very hard time to move the window up. Lubricating the window track had been tried but it didn't work.

Finally I replaced the window motor. Now the window can move up and down okay. BUT once it hits the top w/ automatic open, it just bounces back down to the middle and leaves it halfway open. Then I have to manually click up the switch until it closes all the way up.

Am I missing something here!? Some relay is also broken? Where? Or the window motor needs some special reset procedure? I have only tried holding the button down - wait 1 sec - and up to the top for 10 sec AFTER disconnecting the battery.

Anything else? Please help from all the experienced members.

Thank you so much!

Very nice. I happened to have the same issue. Thank you so much for your contribution!

I did a conversion on the front door tonight. It cannot be connected to the lock connecting rod as the lock connecting rod will not move without the key in the door lock. So I installed it in an almost similar fashion to the rear door installation hooking it to the old locking actuator. The front actuator is positioned different so I had to hook the connecting rod to the bottom cam stop lever. It's the little lever, a position stop with the rubber band bumper around it. There is already a hole in it so I pushed the rod through it so the riveted end of the rod was on this cam lever. I bent an open loop in the other end to hook up the actuator. I had to install the actuator inside the door towards the bottom of the door using no strap and putting 2 screws (supplied) through door panel directly into the actuator screw holes. I snapped some pictures these are a bit large, but will show you close up how I connected the rod to the old and new actuator. After I hooked everything up making sure the polarity was correct before soldering the wires (never use crimps) it works excellent. The wires aren't attached yet in this picture.... Indi

Thanks for your sharing. How much did the shop charge you for the motor?

Sometime it does, sometime it doesn't. But once it is okay, it will be okay for quite a while.

Hi,

I have an RX300 for 5 years and the front-passenger window is beginning to stop once in a while. It doesn't seem like the switch on the door is mulfunction nor the motor is sticky. Do you think if the relay is dead? If so, where can I find it in my car? Thanks a million in advance!
