Alamak Rear Left Power window not working

[DR78]

Aiyo was practically error free for 1 week now rear window not working. When press button up or down can hear the clicking sound but window not moving. Wondering is it the motor k.o or just the regulator faulty. Can any sifu share experience?

Thanks

Faced this problem before... knocked the motor and it worked again.. but have to keep use it everyday... If leave for few days without using, the motor sleeps again..

Window rubber jam.

normally its the cable that needs replacement

Thanks so much for the help. Will first try knocking it a bit and see. Btw if cable rosak, how to know for sure?

To be 100% sure have to open up and see mah...

in my case the pink plastic pully brittle and broken causing the cable to entangle....

so i went to an engineering shop to fabricate pulley made from nylon (white kaler)

Moot, that look like the front lifter/regulator.

How much did it cost you to make the pulley. where did you get the new rivet to mount back the new pulley?

 

[moots]

Bro J...yup front regulator...cost i kenot remember.i did not use new rivet but "reused" the old one which got a bit of the old "catch" to fit nicely back to the regulator frame which is secured it further by using the existing mounting bolt.I did make a write up on this many moons ago in this forum.

Got my part from ebay for about RM40.

Hi DR78....mine rear right window also not working, just like you only can hear the 'click'...that is good coz the clicking show that the regulator in good condition..in my case, the latch that hold the cable was broken hence cannot bring up the window...what I did is just glued it back, dunno how long it will last...but its ok for now...
removed your door card..

then the regulator..

the broken latch..


glued it so it stick to the latch..

the epoxy that I used..

he he bro Anakin....BTDT...i used Selleys....tak tahan lama la bro.....probably kalau nak tahan lama kena pakai viagra atau tongkat ali...hu hu.
I even went to the extent of wire wrapping that cable to it's housing AND applying the two part epoxy.....
