window regulator

dougdotcom · Sep 9, 2010

Im repalcing the window regulator with a new one but when i replace the motor into the new one will it remember the window was fully up/half way/at bottom. or dose it have micro switches. what im getting at is... if i replace the motor in the new regulator at any position will the motor try to carry on closing even when its at the top?
And where is the switch on a 4.0 p38 Se that opperates the wipers on the headlights as i calnt see it anyware and they dont move, checked all fuses and all are ok
Dose any one have a off side bonnet washer jet or where can i buy one far less than £19.99

Answer to 1....you have to reset it by putting the window down then up so it knows where to stop.

Just put the motor back and when it's all together run the window all the way down and hold the button for 5 seconds, the all the way up and hold the button for 5 seconds, you should then get a window set message.

I did my window regulator last weekend - the most difficult bit was getting the ball joint into the new clips I had purchased, had to use a G clamp in the end! Took about two days for the window to stop screeching when it went up and down...

Let you know how i get on. got to replace the door latch in the door too, other one's out at the min and door held closed with a bungee. it's ok cos its not on the road as yet.

Drivers side need a new latch too as it only opens with the key. passangers front was dead locked so i had to smash the white strip off the lock to release the spring etc. iv'e been looking at complete doors for the parts i need as they seem to be cheeper if i buy a hole door and remove the parts i want then sell the door again

I would still recommend getting a new regulator - they rust and snap due to fatigue - the last thing you want is to put an old one on and it snaps 2 weeks down the line, especially as they are only £23

Yes the one im fitting is a new regulator, like you say they are cheep, the old one has a big rip in it near to a rivet, unsure how that happened, was not me that did it, it never closes propley either, leaves a small gap near the door pillow..
