zain611 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Hey guys so 2 days ago I had the driver side window down when driving. Went to my grans quickly go out then in the car. When I put the window up I heard a click sort of sound. Now when I press the down button I can hear the motor moving but the window isn't moving. Could that be the regulator? Would be annoying as I changed it around a year ago. Someone had damaged a little of the plastic bit (which doesn't hold anything) but I'd hear it rattle against the glass when the window is down and I close the door.

TomsFocus Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 You'll have to whip the door card off and have a look really. If you push the window down while pressing the button, can you move it? If no, the regulator isn't moving and needs repair/replacement. If yes, it may just be a broken clip that holds the glass to the reg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiesta1.25 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Sounds like it could be your regulator, or maybe just plastic tooth from the motor has broken off? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Gonna have to see then. My dad thinks the cable snapped but can't tell until I take the door card off again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were right. Just opened the door and took off the motor and the tooth broke apart from the bottom 😤. Had the new regulator ready but now have to find a motor. So regulator is good just the motor. Something else I'd like to ask you both is when someone presses the passenger window switch the window doesn't go down but works with the driver side switch. Would you say I need a new passenger window switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a mk6 fiesta so might be a difference between the mk6 and 7. I think also it might be different between 3 to 5 doors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Ford focus 2012 and the drivers window will intermittently not go up. Any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiesta1.25 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Intermittent faults usually point to the wiring, so first thing is check would be the connector into the window switch and maybe even the window motor connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 I have I think the same problem with my passenger switch. It doesn't make the window go up but is able to go down. It works normally from the driver side switch. I bought a second hand switch and will update how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 So fitted the new window motor and it now works 😊. I bought a second hand passenger window switch also and that's works now 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep did a few things on the car including changing the reverse camera to a new one which claims to have a Sony chip on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
