hey guys just bought my rx8 today from a private owner, got home and the first problem is that the driver window will not open! any clue as to how I can fix this?

 

Start by checking your fuses. It's a good rule of thumb for any car with electric windows.

 

Did it work when you checked it before you bought it?????

It could be the switch, fuse, motor, and check at the coupler where the door wires plug in/ go into the chassis.

If you have a test light you can pull the switch and see if the switch is throwing power, if it is you have narrowed it down to the motor. Then the fun begins. Check at the motor for power if it has power but no motion replace the motor.

 

Ok thanks guys for the advise. I have checked the fuses and power switch all is good the only thing left is the motor, I was hoping that was not the problem sigh... oh well I guess u can say first mod.

 

That's pretty uncool of the seller.

Oh and Welcome to the site!

 

Could be worse man! You will get it figured out. Welcome!

 

hope thats not a foreshadowing of things to come...

and welcome
