S14 window problem. Quick question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

doitsidewayz · 01-22-2012, 09:15 AM

Ok well finally got tired of not being able to use my driver side window. I thought the motor went bad but I jumped it and worked fine. So it was either my switch or amp. Every time I press the switch I can hear the AMp make a sound. So thought the switch is fine is the amp. Car is a 95 and I was wondering if an s13 amp would do tue trick? I was searching and this guy said it worked on his 95 zenki. So just wanted to check with y'all guys.

Thanks in advance guys!

Take the amp out and open it up.
Youll see some solders that arent complete, just resolder everything and youll be fine.
Thats how I fixed mine.

There are walkthroughs online, just google it.

Thanks you sir!
I was thinking about it but it looked like a pain to open it just by looking at it. But I don't loose anything by trying.

You cant always eyeball the amp. My amp looked good, didnt have any bad solder or anything burnt up. I just ended up buying a new one from Courtesy Nissan for like $25-30. Why use a used one that will just go out again due to age when you can just buy a new one for half a tank of gas.

Oh..I thought it would be around 100 or more..you know stealerships over pricing on everything
Ima still try to fix this one I got and I will go from there. Thanks a lot guys
