Power windows

Post by Splash »

Hi! I'm a new user. I am having difficulty with the driver's side power window regulator. The window was not working and was stuck in the up position. I removed the regulator and found 1 of the nuts that secures the motor to the regulator was missing and the cable had winded over it's self. The problem I am having is keeping the cable wound on the drum while installing the regulator assembly. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, John

Welcome to the forum, Splash. I've never seen the electric window setup so I doubt I'd be able to help you. Maybe someone will come along soon that can help. I'm wondering if it's similar to the manual setup.

It is the same set up but, the cable goes around 4 pulleys insead of 3. I have a new problem though. Wile messing around with the regulator I found that regulator gets stuck in a certain spot. So it looks like I need a new regulator. If any one has any idea where I can locate one I would be greatful.
Thanks, John
