My electric window died!

My passenger side window decided today that it didnt want to go down anymore!! Car is a 81 series 2, any easy way to fix this, or at least see what the issue is??

Cheers

yup...pull off the door panel, the plastic shield and oil the rollers and working mechanisms in there. operate the window after oiling and keep oiling...make sure the window is on its track and all nuts and bolts are tight.. I had a pass. window that did not work when I bought it. took the panel off, oiled the crap out of it , worked it a bit , made sure the window was in its track and it was fine...that all being said, you might?? need a new switch or worst case...new power window motor....hopefully not...good luck.....cjf

When you press the window button, does the volt guage on the gas go down? If it doesnt then the motor isnt drawing power and the switch/motor/connectors are most likely the cause. If you need a power window motor, there 2 and power window regs going on Ebay by me

I will ship to Australia as long as you pay the shipping, and pay US $'s
