I have been having problem with the electrical in my 08 Pathfinder. I don't know if it is from all the rain or if it has something to do with the electrical in my car but I'm having problems with my windows going up and down and the speed at which they go up and down. Any ideas on what it can be?

The problem is pretty common with all cars, unfortunately. It's caused by two things. The rubber strips that the window sits in in the window frame are generally lined with a fine, fuzzy felt and the windows can easily slide against it. Over time that fuzz wears off and the windows are rubbing against stickier rubber. The other problem is the metal rails the window rides on inside the door get dirty over time and can slow windows down as well. The fix is to clean the tracks and rubber as best you can and lube them up to lower rolling resistance :chuckle: You can check out this thread (which links to another) for more info and feedback.

:luck:

Thanks I gonna have to do that soon because sometimes my windows don't want to roll up by the master switch (they roll down but not up) so I have to go to that window and roll it up. When they do roll up or down its slow, it sounds like the motor in door is going out. Thanks again

If only one of them is doing it I would say the motor might be going out, but if they're all slow to some degree, it's very likely they just need to be cleaned.
