power window problems s14 kouki please help

[ToolMaker240]

so my passenger side power window took a **** on me today. it rolled down just fine but would not come back up. neither the driver or passenger switch work on it but the driver side window works normally. i took the door panel off and hooked the motor up to a battery, it rolled up. ive checked the fuse its fine but there is no power to the switch( checked with a meter). is there a relay somewhere that im missing? any help is greatly appreciated thank you for your time.

Try this, it sounds like you need to re solder the connection

refer to factory service manual in tutorial link for 1998

section EL page 148

It is a white plastic, rectanguler amp that is about 1 inch tall and 3 1/2 inches long. It will have a metal tab out the bottom that screws it into the driverside door. Good luck, these die ALL the time

[ToolMaker240]

it screws into the inside of the door or what? and i only have the 97 fsm downloaded but ill find the 98 real quick

[ToolMaker240]

well it is honestly not there guys, i have looked everywhere inside that damn door its just not there. if someone could help a detailed discription of where it is would be nice so i can completely eliminate all possibilities of it actually existing on my car. is it possible that it could be mouted somewhere else? im gonna tear into it some more this afternoon. thanks for the help

[ToolMaker240]

well did some searching on (gasp) szilvia.net and supposedly koukis dont have an amp, found that in serveral posts

[vancouverbc]

There is an amp but it is inside main switch. Im going by the wiring diagram on page 148 or so.

[ToolMaker240]

ah i see now well ill check that tomm, i found a parts car today so ill try another switch. i would have worked on that today but i went to change my brakes this afternoon and one of the bolts were stripped in the stud that the caliper floats on so that was the biggest part of my day, finding a s14 in a local junk yard is a total godsend for this area.

Hey guys, does the s13 have the same amp/problem?

I just had the same problem occur on my s13 today. wired in a bunch of new gauges yesterday, went home, tried to roll up my window when i got home and nothin, its the passenger side as well.

[ToolMaker240]

well i pulled the switch apart cleaned it real well with an airhose and now it works, cant belive it but it does. morgs pull your door panel off and hook your battery directly to the window regulator (motor) so you can eliminate the possibility of it being your regulator, and so it wont rain in your car

Nice work, Toolmaker:)

[Morgs]

sweet, ill give that a try tomorrow.

crappy weather tonight out there and the cars all buttoned up in my shop. so ill have to play with it tomorrow!

[Morgs]

i take it s13s have the same or similar window amp, because i applied direct power to the passenger window motor and it rolled up, so im guessing my amp is dead

is your passenger window locked? have you tried both driver and passenger door switches? the article on repairing amps applies to s13's.

[Morgs]

yeah iv tried both passenger and driver switches, and neither one work.

[sleeper07]

i think i got the same problem. i can roll my window down but when im rolling it up half way it gets stuck.

[Morgs]

I would check yours to make sure its not off the track cuz thats what it sounds like ur problem is.

I cant even roll mine down, or up, it just doesnt have any power going to it, so more then likely mines the amp problem and yours is off the track
