My driver side power window goes down fine, but on the way up it gets "stuck". Depending how far down it is it will stop multiple times and make a horrible sound (like a blender or something). It will continue up only with a slight tug. The motor sounds fine (at least to me), think it's the regulator? Anyone know of install directions for a 1995 240sx-se anywhere on the net?

THANKS!

I know, thanks for your advice! I just moved it over here when I saw the post that mentions "fix-it" questions were meant more for this forum than the other. Thanks Again.

I got some time to get to this and the results were what I feared. One good thing though is once you get the thing out and realize what goes where it doesn't take too long at all!

Anyway I get the motor off the regulator(which looks fine) and I hook up the power to test the motor, seems to run fine. I test both regulators and they both work except the new one has greater tension than the one I took out. So I pop the new one on the motor hit the switch and we have power! But the celebration didn't last:( . When the regulator is giving the motor a certain amount of tension it starts to make that horrible noise again. #^*@ #^&@ (*&^#@(you get the point). I guess the loose regulator put too much pressure on the motor & over time the extra work load started to wear it down. So it's Saturday, no motor at least till Monday(probably have to have it ordered) and am less than thrilled! Ah well, live and learn.
