:lol: Has anyone else had a problem where the Window only winds down ?

2000+ Galaxy, when I stripped the door trim etc.. expecting to find that something had jammed them nothing !

The cable was extreemly taught, when taking the cable off the spool and re connecting the power the motor would wind down but not Up ?

 

Do I need a new Motor / motor + regulator as I can not find a single helpful person at Ford

with regards to the regulater if u have removed the spool and cable i would b surprised that u will get it back together. a slight kink stops it running freely.

had the same prob bought new regulator with no motor from vw dealer

cant explain how to do it as youve got to get the cable wound up right but i went to a local cycle shop and bought 4m of brake cable inner, took off the offending cable that was frayed and made my own up total cost was

I had similar problems with three doors on my last 1997 Galaxy, the fault was the loom between the door pillar and the door, cables there are subject to continuous bending and stressing.

I found several cables to have snapped at the connector inside the protective sheathing, I managed to solder them back together with no further problems. Quite tricky and fiddly though.

jeeze, yes very fiddly, if i still had the pics when i did my regulator and tried fixing one from a donor, id be able to post pics, but i lost em when the pc through a strop just before xmas and i lost a lot of stuff.

 

the cable round the spool has to be tight, and is a right barsteward as it doesnt like to be would tight and stay in place,

Hi Folks. New here. Seen quite a few posts on window issues, but nothing exactly describing the fault I have:-

 

When the window's been saturated for a while (heavy rain or car wash) the downward movement is very jerky with a heavy thud at the end of travel. Also, under certain conditions the overload will cut in on upward travel.

 

Just wondering if anyone else has had similar and made adjustments?
