Thread: Driver side door window doesnt always go up

2001 GTP Coupe

My driver side door window only goes up about every 6th time I press the door switch, it always sends the window down but only up about every 6th time like stated above.

If I got a new door switch would that fix the problem and is it something that I could install?

thanks

regulator for sure, haha gm quality

Mine did that once...I had to jump 12v to the window motor to get it to roll up. It went down just fine. I replaced the switch and that was the end of that noise.

I found one that dries w/o leaving streaks and it made a world of difference.

what kind of grease or lube?

thanks

I know im bringing this one back from the dead. But what wires do you jump with a 12v? My window is all the way down and wont go back up. It started off about 2 inches down and had no problem going down each time I pressed it, to try and get it to go back up. I tried to push it up with my hands with the door panel off but couldnt do it. What is a quick fix just to get the window up for now until I can replace the regulator?

use duct tape to keep it. Just remember to remove glue residue.
