Overview

Window regulators are an extremely interesting part of a car that never receives any love or attention. From the day that the vehicle rolls off the assembly line, automotive door window regulators work endlessly moving the door glass up and down, giving the occupants of the vehicle the much beloved fresh air. Because of frequent window usage, window regulators and window motors are subject to intense wear. This often leads to breakage and inconvenience at the drive-up window.

There are two basic kinds of window regulators: manual and power.

Replacement Window Regulators

• Manual Window Regulators
  A manual window regulator is the most basic of window lifting mechanisms. It always has some type of handle sticking through the door panel that regulates the up and down motion of the glass window. Humans are the "power" behind this type of regulator, as the window crank needs to be physically rotated to raise and lower the door glass. With so many vehicles coming with power windows these days, manual regulators are becoming scarce. 

Power Window Regulators

A power window regulator works exactly like it sounds. It is a device that regulates the up and down motion of the glass window with the magic of electricity. Power window regulators will always have some type of electric motor attached to them that is controlled by a power window switch on the door panel or console. In many cases, an inoperable window motor can be replaced separately from the window regulator itself. This allows the repair to be less work, and less costly overall.

Within each one of these types of regulators, you can have a "scissor-type" or "cable-type". Each style has its own benefits.



Scissor Type Window Regulators


The scissor type window regulator is the design that has been around forever. They basically look like a giant pair of scissors inside your door. As they expand, the window goes up. When they contract, the window glass rolls down. Simple enough right? The downfall of this type of regulator is that the wheels on the ends of them wear out over time, and break off. This causes your door glass to tilt sideways, and eventually fall down into the door. They also wear out at the center of the scissor mechanism and become noisy, sloppy, and unpredictable. 

Cable Type Window Regulators


The cable type window regulator is a more modern design that is used in a huge variety of vehicles. They use far less space inside the door, which is great when additional safety devices are needed. Unfortunately, no window regulators are immune to breakage. Being more complicated than the scissor-type, these window regulators have more opportunity to break. The pulleys and cables in these regulators typically wear out, and snap. When that happens, the glass almost always falls inside the door, leaving your interior open to nature's elements. That means that rain, snow, criminals, and cats will all have a full access pass to your stuff. Not cool! 

What Is If My Window Motor Stops Working ?

If the glass moves a few inches and stops, then the motor is allowed time to cool down and will again move a few inches; the power motor will need to be replaced. If there is no sound coming from the motor, it may not be getting power or the motor itself may have an open circuit. Checking for power to the window's motor normally requires removing the door panel to access the wiring. After access to the power window wiring is gained, a test light or meter can be used to see if it is getting power and ground. I've learned (Eddie Martinez Owner)over the years a short cut that saves the hassle of removing the door panel for testing the motor. Most of the time when checking this problem, just turn the headlights and interior lights on; look for a slight dimming of the interior or dash lights when the power window switch is pushed. If a slight flicker or dimming of the interior lights occur, this indicates that the switch is functional and the motor is bad. Try this with one of the power windows that is working to gauge the affect on the interior lights. If there is no change in the brightness of the interior lights when trying this with the inoperative window, the switch could be bad.

Auto Window Switches

The switch is the assembly that applies power to the window motor. Depressing the switch applies voltage to the motor causing it to move. Depressing the switch in the opposite direction causes the motor to turn in the opposite direction. Window switches can be a group of buttons (commonly found on the front driver's side door) or a single switch. Window switches can also be grouped with power door lock switches and be console or dash mounted.

Window Regulator Tips

With any mechanical item, there are things that you can do to extend the life of a window regulator before a dramatic failure happens. These are also items that should be double and triple checked whenever you install a new replacement window regulator or motor.

• Lubricate all of the moving parts on the window regulator with spray grease. Spray grease comes in a can, and can be found at any local hardware store.
• Check your exterior window sweeps (AKA window "felts") for damage. You don't want rain, snow, ice, dirt, debris getting inside your door and destroying your fancy bits.
• Lubricate the window tracks on the front and rear of your side glass. Smooth moving glass is essential to long window regulator life. If the glass binds up, the window lifting mechanism will undoubtedly be broken shortly after.
• This may go without saying, but don't force the window down or up with your hand. If either of those is necessary, your window regulator is likely already damaged. Forcing it will just make it worse. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
