my s13 driver side power window works sometimes and not the other, this is pretty annoying, sometimes i will roll the window down and it won't go up and vice versa. what can be causing this?

when it is not working and i press the powerwindow up/down button i can hear a soft click by this machine in the door, i checcked the connections and all is good. anyone have any idea?

check for a broken/loose solder joint on the window amplifier. that saw the same problems my windows had and i soldered a joint back and never had a problem since.

^exactly window amp is probably getting loose or messed up

it's an easy fix too

Window amp. I've had to replace mine twice already, and so have at least two other people I know. They tend to break and then only work intermittently. (sp?)

is the amplifier the black block w/ foam/rubber around it? do i open it up and check for soldering?

mine is a white box wrapped in black foam. I removed the foam and casing. the board slides out. I slid the board out and connected it back to find a loose/broken joint. if you find one you can add solder or resolder with the board disconnecte of course.
