window stuck down
my passenger side window is stuck down and wont come up
its the third time this has happened the master switch i need from mazda is not in stock in CA does anyone know how to manually pull the window up for the time being???? |
take the door panel off?
|
yes i took the door panel off already
mazda doesnt have the part in stock so im stuck with a window down im not sure how to pull it up manually |
it should have an electric motor with a coil spring asist and you should b able to push fro the bottom to get it up
|
Since you have the panel off are you able to tell it the motor works, issue with the switch or is the window off the track?
|
hmmm
i can touch the top of the window but i cant get to the bottom |
since the master switch has been replaced twice already i assume its the switch again

If the same part keeps failing something else may be going on. There is only so much that can fail on a switch.
|
how would i short the switch ???
|
you must be getting water in there somewhere
try these mike http://www.ericgarduno.com/eric%20im...20painting.JPG http://www.adhesive-duct-tape.com/images/duct-tape.jpg |
I do not know how that back of the window switch looks but it can't be too far off from a standard light switch. Find the two contacts on the switch and connect them with a small section of wire or a screw. You would be replicating the same thing depressing the switch would do, completing the circuit.
|
^^ paperclip
|
^yeah u are jumping the switch from power before the switch to power after the switch! a paperclip will work but may get warm ahah a short piece of wire is ideal!
|
got the master switch for 150.00 and installed it in like 5 minutes
window is up now i think it keeps getting shorted from water hitting it when i wash my car |
:lol: @ Zoom44 post oh man.
My passanger side windo just went down one day and never came back up. I could hear the motor but the window would just rock up and down. As if it wanted to go up but something was stopping it. It was going out. I guess over time and all he sand out here in Vegas got all over the grees that was on the rail preventing it from rolling up and down smoth. So one hot summer day i rolled the windows down and heard my passanger window fall. Took the door panel off and went to the dealer with everything wraped up in my trunk. They replaced it under warrenty and told me this is the 3rd on they seen that month. Turns out it was not the motor but the plastic that holds the window on the rail broke and thats why the window fell out of place. |
yeah tape that switch and everything up with electrical tape if u think it's water getting in there. is your inside of ur door panel getting wet? Is it wet?
|
i have noticed after i wash my car and open my driver door a ton of water comes down thru the bottom--honestly i never really cared
but the switch has gone out three times and obviously that is why ill try electric tape thanks guys ESPECAILLY ZOOM for your input LOL |
