Diagnosing Window Regulator Parts


Have you experienced a problem with your window recently? Trying to pull it down or up but to no avail? Now that is really a pain in the head. Some would hear the motor hum but the window wouldn’t go up or down. And most of the times, we would point that the switch is defective but there is a lot more to check before we can conclude that the switch is the culprit to your defective power window.

One of the things to check is the wire or cable attached to the motor and switch. And for you to check it, you would need to take off the door panel and remove the motor and track the window wires and cable. But because the cable is under tension within a spring mechanism, it is a bit hard, if not impossible to fix the cable itself. If the cable is fine, not broken or twisted, that it is just out of position, it would be possible to slide it back into the guides.

The other thing to check which in most cases the real problems is the window regulator. And if that is the case, it is most likely to be a replacement, not a repair. And be careful when buying replacement window regulator parts because a poor quality regulator assembly may just waste your money. Purchase an OEM regulator to save you the trouble of buying one again.
