Why won't My window go up ???

Question : The Motor on my electric window is running but the window will not go up! what's the best way to get my window at lest up?
Answer: The problem is the window regulator needs to be replaced. You will need to remove the door panel and replace it. I recommend replacing the the motor and regulator at the same time and can be purchased as one unit.
In the mean time, you can remove the door panel, lift the window and place a block of wood under it to help support the window until you can repair it properly.

My door adjar light won't go off, Why ?

Question : My door ajar light won't go off causing me to drive around with my imterior lights on. i've cleaned all around my door and checked them over and over and they still stay on. they started staying on for a little while and would shut off after a few minutes, now they won't go off at all.
Answer : Your door switch has failed. They are internal in the door latch inside the door itself. These are extremely common to fail and are generally in stock at your local dealer. You will need to have it replaced. Usually it is the drivers door latch as it is the one that gets used the most often. These is assuming that none of the doors are ajar.

My Car Won't Start , What could it be ??

The Number One cause for your car or truck to give you the "click, click, click" no start blues is a dead battery. Just because the radio plays or the lights illuminate on the dash doesn't mean the battery has a strong enough charge to start your engine. The Engines starter requires over 50 amps to spin it, where as the radio only requires less than 5 amps.

  1. Make sure your battery connections are clean of corrosion on the inside and out.
  2. Check for corrosion inside the battery cables themselves.
  3. Check for loose connections at the battery.
  4. Fully charge a battery before testing.
  5. After charging and testing the battery or replacing the battery, Test the alternator.
