This is a simple fix for the power window. Typically a window will jam or pop out of track simply due to lack of lubrication on the window tracks. Use “white…

Could be lack of white grease or one of the guide wheels jumped off track.
What whould you recommend on my window it goes up and down but when I pick the window up it make a loud screeching nosie
Yeah probably, but the automatic door locking feature at 20 mph is controlled by the BCM. Other no reason you can not do it.
Is it possible to turn manual doors into power doors on a 96 plymouth breeze? I mean like turning rolled down windows and push down locks into electric by finding like a dodge stratus (same year), and take the doors off of it and switch them to my car. If its possible , is it a simple task to do?
Motor still not working. Guess i’ll try a new motor and switch and see what happens but I can’t see that making any difference. Thanks syyenergy7
Power right as the green and yellow go into the motor when you flip switch either way and the motor is connected. Thanks for help syyenergy7.
Some type of short, I guess. If you have power right at the connector and the motor itself works, that is crazy. Check the wires for power, While they are connected to the motor. Something does not add up.
I tested the pw motor off the car and works fine. But pluged in don’t work. Power to both sides of the plug when working switch. Any ideas/
Cool :)
Got it! Wires between the door and car were just hanging on by a couple of strands. I could measure voltage at the connector the plugged into the motor but the few strands could not carry the required voltage to activate the window. Thanks for all the help. Your videos have saved me a lot of time and money! Thanks for posting them!
It’s a pretty simple wiring setup. The switch would be likely from what you checked so far. I got a good set of driver door window switches cheap off of e-bay. All the switches still work fine as of now.
Ok, I replaced the window timing module…same result. I jumped power directly to the window and I was able to get it to go up and down. I measured voltage coming to the window with the leads unpluged from the motor…I got 12 volts. When I plug it into the the motor the voltage drops to .58 Volts. I tested a new motor, and got the same results…Any thoughts why the voltage would drop? I have not yet tried a new door swithch…
There is a “window timer module” in the door next to the relays. It is the larger “relay” closer to the speaker. The “window timer module” will enable all 4 windows to go down about an inch as soon as you hit the top-down or top-up switch. I think that could be the problem since it is connected to all 4 windows & all 4 of your windows stopped working.
Is there a power window relay? I checked all the fuses and they are all good, but all the windows stopped working at once?? Have power going to the switch on the drivers sided door. But none of the windows work. When you put the top down, the windows usually go down an inch…That is not happening either…Any thoughts?
Sometime you can make something or fix it with gorilla glue. I would check online especially on ebay and ask vendors for used parts. I got some stuff before very, very cheap.
re: “’99 Sebring Jxi’s rear window slow for a few years and now it’s stuck in the down position. I hear very brief motor sounds in each direction” — may be that the cable in the rear window is slipping/binding. We’re having the same problem now with our ’99 Sebring JXi — because the cable that keeps coming off the track — looks like the white plastic piece is worn allowing slipage. A mech quoted us $700.00 — said we have to buy the entire window motor kit to get the white plastic piece
Thanks. I have not done any vids lately since the Sebring is running and working like new in every respect, even though it has 250,000 miles. I do also like the Generation I Sebring the best (1996 to 2000).
I… appreciate your DIY vids on the ’96-’00 Sebring. ty. my $200.00 ’96 Sebring is def gaining value every time I watch your video, then go fix what I just watched. ty… things are looking up with my Sebring EVERY time I touch it after watching your instructional vids. keep them coming. ty. aprreciative… – DTM
It may just need to be put back on track. The tracks need to be cleaned and greased. It may have been operating slow due to dirt and hardened grease on the tracks. Often this is the case. I would try another mechanic. Or maybe one of the mobile independent mechanics.
Hi. Thanks for posting this great info! My ’99 Sebring Jxi’s rear window was slow for a few years and now it’s stuck in the down position. I hear very brief motor sounds in each direction. The window can lift up but it’s clearly off the track. I was told I need a new regulator (~$400) and 1.7 hours of labor ~$163. I am totally unwilling to pay that:) I just put over $700 into the car for brakes, belts and oil change. What do you think it is? And do you think a girl who is only slightly mechanic
The are not that many components to the power windows. There are a couple relays and a timer module and the motor it self. It sounds like something it binding versus the motor. Try to listen to it and pinpoint the exact source of the noise. You may want to have someone operate the window while you listen through a hose, to get an exact location of where the grinding noise is coming from. It may just need to be cleaned and then use white grease.
maybe tightening or loosening the bolts that hold the glass in place? It is working much better after using the white grease, but I can still hear the grinding sound and it does not close all the way
No, that would not be the motor itself. There has to be an adjustment for that.
Thanks for posting all these videos on the sebring convertibles. I have a ’98. I started having trouble with the small back window. it would make a grinding noise and get stuck. I used white grease on the 2 tracks which improved the situation. the window raises and falls smoothly, but its still not totally fixed, I cant raise it fully, its stops about a half an inch before it hits the top. Could the power window motor be the problem? There is no body damage
Exactly. Whatever you spend now is actually twice if you invested in silver instead.
What, Man I could understand if you said 2011 Shelby GT500, but a 1930’s ford. I have a LS430 04′ its a smooth ride. But truth be told, I like silver much better and actually thinking about trading it for 300ounces…
I’d never buy a Lexus. If silver does hit 100’s of dollars an ounce my next car will be a 1930’s Ford with a flathead. Keep it simple.
I semi-enjoy doing this stuff and I cut costs.
Hey Man, no offense…all the fuckin’ money you made off silver trades… Just scrap the fuckin Chysler shit and get a Lexus SC430 since you like convertables.
