Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / June 2007stuck windows
1987 924s ; window will not go down or up; a friend fixed this on the other side some years ago; took a pencil eraser and cleaned a contact - but I missed the details of what he did and where - causes for this are: switch contacts in the window switch, fuse, motor, linkage, wires in door. you could be a bit more forthcoming with diagnostic details if you want more help. your friend probably cleaned switch contacts - will the switch on teh other side of hte car work? > 1987 924s ; window will not go down or up; a friend fixed this on the > other side some years ago; took a pencil > eraser and cleaned a contact - but I missed the details of what he did and > where -  SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com The switch has to be removed. Use a small screwdriver and pry between the toggle and the bezel in the door. Careful not to separate the toggle before its out. Clean the contact surfaces with a diamond file or sand paper until they are bright metal. This is a common problem on 944 924. I do it about once every two years. Go here to see what the switch looks like before repairing: http://www.thepartsbin.com > 1987 924s ; window will not go down or up; a friend fixed this on the other > side some years ago; took a pencil > eraser and cleaned a contact - but I missed the details of what he did and > where - You say window will not go up or down is that both or just one? If its one window then it sounds like the window switch contact has worn out. I had the same problem; I took the door switch panel off and then took the offending switch out. My advice is to first of all swap switches over does the window now work? If it does then buy a new switch or get a known working one from a scrap car, far easier than wasting an hour or two buggering about trying to get it to work. I know I have been there! |
