Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / March 2006power window doesn't work when cold
My '02 PF's driver's door power window doesn't work in very cold temperatures. It works fine when the weather is warm. When the weather is very cold, the window moves very slowly up or down and sometimes stops midway up and goes back down. My other and the other windows work even in the cold. It isn't an ice problem because the car can be dry as a bone, but the window still won't work. I think the motor may be getting weak, but before I buy a new one, I thought I'd check to see if anyone has any better ideas.

I have the same issue with an 01 PF. Mine tends to slow down right in the middle. When it's warm it works great. Luckily it's warm here more than it is cold. (Tampa, Fl) When it does get cold and I have to roll it down, I give it a manual assist on the way back up.  SignatureTFM® Same here on a 97 Pathfinder. I think it's got something to do with the battery. ricky >> My '02 PF's driver's door power window doesn't work in very cold >> temperatures. It works fine when the weather is warm.

The window is binding in the track. I've never had anything newer than a 1985 Toyota pickup. Can you tell me how to remove the door panel in the '01 PF without tearing it up? Speaking of old technology Vs. New, where the hell are the spark plugs and wires on the 3.5 DOHC? Dealer wants a total of $208 to swap them out with titanium plugs. I don't need them yet (46,000 miles) but was just wondering what to do when I needed them.

The '01 should be the same. > Speaking of old technology Vs. New, where the hell are the spark plugs > and wires on the 3.5 DOHC? There are no wires or distributor in the conventional sense. There is a coil screwed to the top of each plug. If you look at the driver's side of the engine just behind the oil filler and straight down from where the throttle cables wrap around the throttle shaft, that 2 inch square black thing with a big "O" stamped in the middle of it is one of the coils. The plug is in the hole the coil is screwed into. > Dealer wants a total of $208 to swap them out with titanium plugs. I haven't changed mine yet on my '02 (not due for another 50,000 miles), so I can't really assess whether its enough of a job to be worth $208 for somebody else to do it. It does not look like much fun. Lots of stuff has to be maved/removed to get to them. > I don't need them yet (46,000 miles) but was just wondering what to do > when I needed them. Replacement is not due until 105,000 miles, so you won't need to worry about it for a long time. They should be replaced with the same NGK number PLFR5A-11 platinums that it came with. > On 2/23/06 8:42 PM, in article MouLf.37304$Fw6.9915@tornado.tampabay.rr.com, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > I can send you the pertinent pages from the '02 FSM if you need them.

My '96 I30 had this same problem and the silicone fixed it. > I still think you should get a can of silicone spray at the local parts > store and try spraying the window tracks before you take the door apart. My > '96 I30 had this same problem and the silicone fixed it. I'll give it a shot. Does it come with a tube so you can actually aim the spray? Gimme some details. Do you roll the window all the way down and concentrate the spray in the front and rear channels?

Usually they have the little tubes taped to the cans just like WD-40. Spray it in the rubber tracks front and rear as you have already guessed. Run the window up and down a couple of times. You'll know immediately if it works. It is the motor, or something is binding with the drive gears, or with the window tracks. You will have to open the door panel and investigate.

It may be to late ,but I had simular problem with my 2000 Altima also only drivers window, I lubricated cable which control the window movement with wd 40 style lube which also worked as moisture displacer and it took care of this problem and window works great. > My '02 PF's driver's door power window doesn't work in very cold > temperatures.
