97 rover xd..drivers window only works half the time..goes down but not up..i wait a day and it will go up?i changed the switch and the same..any help would be great...

Window motor, I've seen this exact symptom many times.

thats kinda what i was thinking..that maybe it gets hot or somthing..

It's worth taking the door panel off and checking all the contacts and connections at the motor. I doubt its getting hot.

My cheap-ass method of making this work (for as long as I could have) was to take the inner door panel off, and thereis a "peep-hole" on the top of the motor...DROWN it with WD-40 (or the likes) while operating...seems that these motors are made with crappy metal at the gears and there seems to be a build up of resistance for the gears to work together...

Another thing I have done is bang at the motor with the bottom of my fist...kind of coerse the fawker to work...(weird situation when you are pulled up to a Army Checkpoint in the Bekaa valley - drugs/terrorism - and you are "reaching down" to open the window and they hear "bangs"...)

BTW - awesome avatar...only catalyst for me to type more than 3 words :flipoff2:

LOL, and I thought driving up to the guard houses at the old airbase in the UP when lost was bad!

OTOH, the soldiers probably drove Rovers and knew exactly what you were doing!

Nah! They had manual windows on their FJ40s...Only the "big bosses" had Land Rovers (Rangies)...but no wind-down windows...Bullet-proof glass that don't wind-down...

thanx for the help guys...going out side to take the door apart....

ok so i took the door apart oiled the motor let it sit for a day and nothing....
now with the door panel off i can see whats going on better..
ok window is down all the way when i click the switch up i can hear a selonoid click but no movement.when i click it down i can see the track move down then come up...

Try jumpering directly to the window motor to rule out the motor.

Beware the ETM has some errors in the window troubleshooting section, if you don't know how they work, the errors will run you 'round the barn in the wrong direction.

Damn Jaime sounds like its time for you to go back to the yota.Or did you sell it or the jeep neither one of those have electric windows.:)

Still have both....hey scott what lift parts do you have laying around?
