Might check your fuses. If that's not it then clear trash bags work for a little while. Sorry about the cold though...

Check to make sure everything is connected; If you've been messin around in the engine bay or with wiring of course.

Trash bags is an alternative but thats...well trashy
Pop the door skin off and you advance the window up manually. It may fall back down so u need to wedge a small piece of material in between the window and the rubber on the bottom. it can be anything really. some cardboard, rubber squeegies from those black magic window tint kits work awesome. I had this happen to a friends car in the winter as well in NYC. just make sure whatever u wedge in is on the inside of the car.

When the car is on and you attempt to operate the window does the rpms drop?

thats weird but no lol

[Hondateck2010]

thats weird but no lol

he thinks your not getting enough power thats why he said that.

One way to bring it up is to remove the motor and bring it back up then put back the motor to hold it up. test it before you put it back on to see if it works with out the track on. if it does then check the tracks and make sure they are lube with something like armer all (works great) and check to see if the rubber is off place. this happen to my white cb. the rubber was off track and did not let the window go up or down. motor was good but tracks were bad

Motor or actuator?

[DJ metadelic]

Ah yes. Forgot. Actuator is PDL.

First, check the window channels on both sides of the door glass and make sure the glass is in the channels. If they are, turn the key on, hit the button, SHHHHHH, listen and see what exactly you hear. Our regulators are cable driven. Its very common for this cable to get wound up inside of the motor. It will roll up and down slightly, but you will hear a crinkling sound from inside the door. If all you hear is a clicking noise, NOT THE ONE COMING FROM THE BUTTON, then its your motor! IF you for sure, without a doubt, do not hear anything at all, coming from the motor, it could be the switch, or relay. PROCESS OF ELIMINATION!

(Basically, figure out what its doing.)

You could get a new/used window motor and or regulator. Or........



Just pull the door panel. Unbolt the window from the regulator, push the window up all the way. Take a tape measure, and measure the distance between the bottom of the glass and the bottom ot the door. Cut a 2x4 that same lenth, maybe 1/16th longer. Wedge the 2x4 in between the glass and the bottom of the door. This will last for years. And not mess up any of the felt and rubber, its there for a reason

AND, DONT USE ARMOR ALL! Use white lithium grease. you can buy it at any auto parts store.

yea im not getting sound at all but mayb it is the rubber thats blocking it and not letting it go up or down i forgot which bolt is for the regulator i dont wanna unbolt the wrong thing n the whole window drops

[weezy911]

bumppp upppp got the window to go back upp n tried to bolt it back up and the holes didnt line up

[weezy911]

Turns out it was so cold i guess the internals froze and the next day it was nice and warm out and it went back up and is stayin up lol

not trying to steal the thread but what would be the clicking sound? my window slowly goes down some times then just stops, what would that be?

[weezy911]

clicking sound means the motors going dead
