you can but that would suck big time, I'd rather find the problem with the power windows, plus p/w are teh hotness, get a good test light, check your fuses, get a wiring diagram and find your issue

I think it actually might be more work to switch to manual than to just fix your power windows.

The window regulators and sliding cable tracks are different, you'll have to buy the retainers and the handles to get manual windows.

So better you just test it out n see whats wrong.

well i know what is wrong with it. it is the amp. no place around here has one. no junk yard no parts store. a junkyard a few miles away has 2 doors for a 91 240 with manuel windows. to but both doors is cheaper that buying the amp at the dealer

??? hm I see. Well if you need the actual part # 28515-40F00

LIST price is showing: $125.78

It's not so bad, compared to before when it use to be like 205.00. I'm sure a dealer around you or online is willing to ship it to you. Plus it's gonna look funky with manuel crank windows and have a main window switch also.

check out midwaypartsteam.com for oem parts. Mike's always comin through for me and don't see why he wouldn't for other Niconauts.

Other alternative, wait for someone to part out their s13 and buy the amp from them.

Yea, I went to the neighborhood Sanford and Sons,Found a used motor and replaced the old one.May take some bending and small cutting damage to get it, but overall it wasn't difficult.
