Well I was rolling up my pass window it got all the way to the top and i hear snap. My budd says regulator went and broke or something. So guess im gonna have to get a new one good times. Im gonna have to search to find what all fits. Blah sorry for the rant guys, I see accord coupe ones will work but will loose auto up / down but the passenger one doesnt do that so it would be good right. Sorry for asking before i search more. It's just they are callin for a butt load of rain and i need to get this fixed, also all the ones i see on ebay say 2.2 does it matter

 

The Accord one will work. There's also a CL at Pull-A-Part on North Tryon, as well as several Accords. You could probably pick up a regulator for pretty cheap.

 

well I just found a new/rebuilt one for 40 shipped on ebay and my budd has delt with them before and said they are good ppl so lets hope for the best

 

This happened to me, I took the whole track out and the motor and propped the window up with a 2x4 till I could find one on ebay. Its a pretty easy fix the hardest part is popping the inside door panel off without breaking all the little plastic clasps. After that just swap out the track and motor. The snap you heard was probably the cable snapping and if you keep holding the button it will wind into the motor and destroy it. E-bay is the way.

 

i bought one from ebay, this one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1997-...Q5fAccessories
well mine was for the driver's side
when i got it, i realized it said it was for an accord on the package.
but it works, even the auto-down feature...kinda slow tho, and noisy
btw i used a piece of hockey stick to prop up the window while the motor and the panel were off , only fell down a few times, but it worked good

 

yep bingo the cable snapped in 2. this is the one i just bought http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1997-...3A1|240%3A1318

 

I have one PM me if you need it

 

I just bought a new one but thanx man

 

My reg problem was the cheap plastic they used that the cable slides over eventualy snaped off in pieces. The cable was fine. My passenger reg went out a few months ago AGAIN and need one. Make sure you LUBE it before you install it or get ready to start looking for another one in a few months...

 

alright thanx. yea it just sux the motor worked great just the dayum cable

 

Haha a hockey stick...I had my 2x4 holding up the window for a few months without the inside panel on...couldn't find one on ebay. Pretty ghetto I told passengers it was like that because it made my car go faster.

 

dude times had me with a branch holding up the window. lol.....jeeesh. had the door panel all ripped out. man no bread

 

i just put a 2x4 in there put some screws in it where i had 2 holes in the door on the inside to keep it in place, new motor is on the way

 

^what are you supposed to lube exactly, and with what?


yeah i had my door panel off for like 4 months with the hockey stick holding up the window, looked really ghetto but worked
but screwing it in is a good idea, i just cut mine to fit perfectly

 

^Lube everywhere along the cable with silicon lube or any other cable lube. Just anything you can lube really.

 

*** ***** the freakin window will not roll up again now. it goes up about an inch then stops . my budd says he thinks it's in a bind so were gonna take it apart tonight and try to fix it. ahhh wtf

 

thats with the new motor in?

 

yea this is the new motor, it has been working fine. but now today it will only go up a inch or so but rolls right down ahh man this sucks

 

thats what happens when you buy refurb.

i just spent an additional $50 more then you spent and got an OEM one.

 

that sucks, mine is the opposite, rolls up fine, goes down not so good
not the motor's fault tho, the weatherstripping shit keeps catching on the window on mine

 

can we install a driver's side on the passenger side and get auto-down on both?

 

wow thread jack..... you would need a new switch i imagine

 

hell no, they're completely opposite

 

I just had my driver's side reg. go out a couple weeks ago. I picked up one off a 94 accord 2 door at the salvage yard and put it in and got it working again. Sucks when it happens though hope you get yours figured out man.

 

The auto-down is actually controlled by the switch not the motor, so you might be able to somehow fit a driver's side auto-down switch on the passenger switch too, don't know for sure.

 

that would be pretty nice.

 

auto down feature on mine did not work when I replaced the regulator the first time, but when I got an OEM, it worked fine. Other members that have bought rebuilds have had theirs not work either

 

i did find out i have a 6 month warranty so thats a plus. we shall see tomorrow what is the deal with it.

 

This one worked great for me... including the auto up. yea... watch out for the side weather stripping inside the doors... as those can catch. goodluck... it ain't such a bad fix... just need patience.

 

well guys it's fixed i squirted wd40 on the track slides and it started to work again must have just been pinched. It's amazing what you fix when your drunk. On side note dont mix bud lt with shots of cheap azz evan williams ftl........ But yea it's good now

 

don't drink bud light, or cheap ass booze for that matter

 

Ok back from the dead does anyone have a pass window motor assembly for sale. Mine is gone again and think my warranty just went up but eh well. All else fails ill get another on ebay

 

I dooooooo!

But I'm keeping it for when my 3rd passenger reg dies.

 

this reminds me, i gotta stock up on extra window regs before winter comes
lol thanks guys

 

dang it lol

 

ok so do you guys suggest buying a used one from ebay thats a oem or trying my luck with a different window motor. I have seen some with a good warranty.

 

Do it. Wish they had warrentys when I got my regs.

 

well i ended up buyin a use oem from ebay for 30 shipped if it works for a few months ill be happy

 

before you install it, it might be a good idea to put some white lithium grease on all of the metal to metal contact surfaces. I just bought/installed an aftermarket one and loaded it up with grease b/c it came with an extremely light coating

 

well the used oem is on the way also the company i got mine from is gonna warranty it even though it's been a few weeks after the 6 month date ssweet i will have a spare lol
