I dont know how?

Question

I went to go to work last night and my driver side window on my 2002 Grand Am GT will not go down. Can someone tell me how to fix this and how expensive it will be thank you

Answer 1

i just got my new window regulator today,, this will be the 4th one,, the other 3 windows i have repalced myself in the last couple years. i get mine from 1aauto.com , they're $101.00 shipped. They also are very easy to install also, if you can use a screwdriver and a socket, you can do it yourself.... the same website also has downloadable instructions if you need them.
Also, the window switch on the passenger side on my car had loose contacts, but that also was an easy fix.
High mileage cars will have these kids of issues come up, don't let it worry you too much.

Answer 2

The new window switch may require rewiring the plug so be carefull. Buy a GM part that come with the instructions. Note some times after a rain the window motor brushes get stuck hold the window switch to down and slam the door a couple of times it might start working.

Answer 3

I have a 2003 Grand Am and had the same problem, the contacts on the bak of the switch had some debris caught in them. Once i cleaned it out, it worked fine.

Answer 4

before u jump the gun and go 4 broke check ur fuses may just be a bad fuse if not pop out the switch clean the contacts check 4 power at the switch good luck hope this helps

Answer 5
