I have a 1995 Zenki base model 240sx, and every time I park the car in the sun for a long time, and start the car, I can never get my drivers side window down. It's always like that, the passengers side works perfectly every time, but the drivers side always stops working. . . It only starts to work when I drive for about 20-30 minutes, or when I park it in the shade.

I'm going to take the drivers side door panel off, and see what's going on. But if you guys might know the problem, feel free to let me know.

Thanks in advance, help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm, so i've been doing some research, and it can be a number of different things. . . My amp could be faulty, or my motor, or my regulator could be bent? But it's probably not the regulator, because the car I own hasn't been in any accidents, so it leaves two things. . . The amp, and the motor.

My money is probably on the amp, because when I try to use the window, I don't hear a clicking sound (I've read that if you take the amp apart, and looked/listened to the relays operating you would hear clicking sounds). But as I've said before, when trying to use the window, it doesn't make any sound, so it might be the amp.

So what do you guys think? Am I missing anything else? Or have I narrowed it down to the last remaining possibilities?
