So all the electrics work on my gsl, but the power windows have a hard time going up and down, and they won't go down at all if I try to get them both down at once. Is it the motors, or would a bigger alternator help the problem? I don't know much about electrical, so bare with me.

 

We already had a topic on this today. A search would give you:

FIRST...before you start cutting up wiring, lubricate the window rails and see if that helps.

First Gen windows are always gonna be slow and will always struggle A LOT to wind both windows up at the same time (so don't try), but a properly lubricated set of window guide rails will help the speed of each window HEAPS.

Just buy a can of some "silicone spray" from your local auto parts store and spray it on the black felt inside the rails on each side of the windows, you may have to wind the window down to get a better shot at it.

Don't forget to wipe the excess off your window, and don't get it on your hands and then go for a drive as you might transfer some of the silicone to the steering wheel and it's very slippery stuff.

If after doing that, the windows still suck, then you can try the instructions in the link...personally i've found if I keep the windows lubed regularly, I don't have any problems with the factory setup...although they will never be as fast as a modern cars power windows.

Another thing to look for is loose pivot towers on the levers. These things are swedged on, and over time they can loosen. This is accelerated if the whole system isn't lubed properly, as mentioned above. When they have too much free play, they can cause the setup to bind. I fixed one of mine by drilling out/grinding off the swedged part, then drilling and tapping it so I could use a screw with loctite to hold it instead.

 

no cutting of wires required unless you wanna add the relays to get rid of the carbon problem on your switches.

and yes there was already another topic on this follow the link Sgt. Fox posted.

 

awesome. Thanks you guys. I lubed em up, and they work better now.

 

Re: switch carbon; I just had to tear down and clean out the power seat switches on the wife's '02 Maxima. Carboned up to the point that the seat wouldn't move.

This is a common automotive problem for the last 30 years... slow motor actuation caused by arc-spattered contacts.
