Power window problems

Jan 04, 2006 1 Replies

I have a 94 SL with power windows. The front windows go 1/2 way down and then stop. They won't raise or lower. Any suggestions other that relacing the motor and/or regulators? Just hoping its something I'm overlooking Thanks


First you have to be sure that the felt window tracks are properly lubricated so the windows take minimum effort to operate. Too much drag will cause the motor to overheat and kick out.

I have always used spray silicone. Generally the motor will quit if it gets hot due to overload, age, and/or both.

If they work again after waiting a while, I would say the window motors need replaced.

Good Luck, James
