95 240sx window Amp SUCKS!

[Banker]

Im on my third window amp. First is orginal off my 95, then I bought one off another 95 that one blew also. Then I ordered one off a s13 from Ebay, that one didn't even work. Now I have to buy a new one. I have tried looking at the Amp Repair stuff but it doesn't look like my amps are bad. (though Im no electrician) I get the clicking sound. Tired of these stupid electrical problems. Its not my switch because it has done this before. Just stupid how I have 3 window amps sitting in front of me and not a single one works... :/ anyone know of a good place to buy oem window amp. Not dealership price? Thanks

well i found out after my second amp that is i allow the driver side window to go down all the way it blows my amp after a while so now i just leave it down just right before the window is all the way down and ive been good for about a year now :D ghetto

Ha yeah I figured that out after the first one went out. I dont trust buying electronics at junkyards. Most of the shit there is old and beat up. I paid $80.00 for a used MAF and it didn't work. Mofos wont refund.

I'm not sure if it's true or not but I read somewhere it's because the window switch is stuck on down burning out the amp.

i think its just a pretty common issue, i had to replace mine once and now my window motor just went out. so thats getting fixed up.

ill try the not rolling the window down all the way tho.

buy a 96+ window switch and pig tail... they dont have window amps... match colors and you're golden

This is true...do a search....it is VERY COMMON for the driver side window switch to break inside....the driver side window switch button is supposed to have a spring back motion when you push the window button up or down. What ends up happening is over time is the inside wears out/breaks. So your window will still go up and down BUT the button doesn't spring back into place.

So when you push down all the way on the window button to roll down the driver side window the window rolls all the way however the button never springs back into place so the window will be all the way down but since the button is still stuck in the down position it keeps telling the window amp to roll down the window and burns out.

You can keep buying amps but they will continue to burn out with a bad window switch. You can also TEMPORILY roll the window all the way down but then press the button up so it doesn't stay stuck in the down position but why keep dealing with the hasstle. Find a good window switch.

Have you done this swap? I have never heard of anyone doing this. (and I have done a lot of searching) If so then I will def check it out.
