Once again the purpose and objective of this board was met!
My work load and schedule has been hectic during the last week, which culminated in all-nighters this Friday and Saturday, in preparation for a Board Audit Commmittee presentation tomorrow- Monday.
While feeling like a zombie and running like a headless chicken, my wife called and told me that the driverside window on her truck was stucked open. I told my wife that I can't deal with it now and she just need to take it to the dealer on Monday because my Indy is close Mondays. I don't care how much it cost.
After that news I can't concentrate on my spreadsheets and charts for my presentation because I'm thinking of the f'ing stucked window. So, I decided to take a break and logged on to this forum to look for some information re: power window. Found this thread and after reading the 2nd post I run to the garage and performed the suggested fix....IT WORKED! (I'll replace the switch next week.)
Please accept my thanks and sincere gratitude to the board provider and fellow listers for providing valuable information that saves time and resources. In addition to the cost I saved to fix this, and with the issue out of the way, I'm confident that I can wing my presentation tomorrow!
Now I can concentrate on this time waster called "work".
this happpend to me last night had to drive accros the rainy goldengate bridge this morning with my heat on blast and my seat warmer on.....and I tried to puch it too the right but nothing?? Should I attempt to take apart the console or just take it too the dealship??
My first few attempts applying the suggested fix (pulling to the right) didn't work. So, I pulled the switch to different directions. While doing this I notice some movement and winding motor sound. I pull the switch harder on certain direction and the window started moving up slowly.
When I noticed the window moved up I pulled the switch harder, to a point wherein I felt I had broken or cracked the switch, and the window moved faster to fully closed position.
After reading more information on the subject I learned that other had the same experience. Some broke the switch in the process exposing certain contact points that if pushed would close the window.
Do a search and you'll learn about the intricacies of the switch assembly. It's amazing to find out how a seemingly complicated issue is just a mechanical glitch.
The issue was clearly explained by a member named Rodney. He is no doubt one of the best, if not the best, contributor to this site. Check out his postings.
Pull up on the switch as hard as you can. If you are planning on replacing the switch soon then dont worry about breaking the switch off. If you break off the black cover then you can use a toothpick to make the contacts come together and close the window. The replacement switchpak has all the black covers and pieces as one unit. I drove around for 2 weeks using a toothpik to open and close my window while i waited for the part.

I will make sure there are always toothpicks in my glovebox.
