If you plan on replacing the whole unit with the motor, what you can do is cut the wire holding the glass and then slide up the entire window to get to the bolts holding everything in.
Excellent video, very helpful, did my Nissan Xterrra and it's the same exact procedure! I did it in less than 40mins. Most of that was trying to be brave enough to take my window completely out but that was easy. In the end I saved hundreds and it was fun! Thanks A1!
Thanks a lot guys, I followed your video to replace the left window regulator on my Sunny 2011 and it's working perfectly fine, kudos for the good work all the way from Sudan
I'll be replacing the driver's window lift motor on a 2001 Nissan Xterra. The door and window lift assembly look similar enough to get an idea what to do. Thanks, great video
you guys rock!!! just put mine in that i got from you on ebay. never done a window motor before. this made it so easy! keep up the good work! i'll be getting my parts from you from now on!
Fantastic and thanks so much for making and publishing this helpful video. I was happy to order the parts from you and will absolutely do business with you again the future.
The plug end on the window motor may have been wired in the wrong order. Sometimes you can take the wires out of the plug and reverse them. If this is a window motor that you have purchased from us, and you can't fix the issue, call our sales staff right away and we'll take care of this for you. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
You should be able to reach in the door and push it up into place with your hand. If you can't, the window regulator cable might be broke and jamming it into place. You may need to free up the cable if this has happened. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
My Sentra has a different wiring connection to the motor. I have tried both 1Aauto’s regulator/motor and dorman’s. Neither one was compatible to mine. Talked to the nice folks at 1A and they seemed just as puzzled.
Great video, I'm in the middle of replacing my drivers side motor, I'm having problems with my window stuck up so I can't remove the screws, any ideas on how to lower my window? Thank you
Thank you for watching! if you cut the cable for the regulator it will free the window. At that point you can move it up or down as needed. Hope this helps! 888-844-3393
My window stopped work on the driver side and need to replace the motor. Is the process the same with a 2007 Sentra? I would assume the set up is a little different between the '06 and '07 models. I know the door panel is different...
You would need to replace the window regulator assembly, the cable is not serviceable. We carry new window regulators on our website for your Nissan Sentra. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
+Mikee Puckett Not offhand, now. But we can get you some new regulator ASAP! Here's a link, we'll cover the shipping :) www.1aauto.com/1A/WindowRegulators/Nissan/Sentra/1AWRK00333?TH-cam&CTA%20Comment&ATony
You may be able to just service the window motor (depending on where your Sentra was built). If you visit our website 1aauto.com you should be able to see what options you have for your vehicle. Hope this helps you out. 866-403-3393
hi can you do a video of how to change the cable that looks like the cable that are used for the breakes on a bike the motor works fine but that cableis not totaly broken the cable is broken half way it have some wires broken in that cable and it looks not that is holding it from circulating in the motor so can i change the wier or i need the hole thing replace? sorry for the spelling english is not my first language
Thanks for this! I had already bought my motor, but I'll put your site in my favorites and share on Facebook. I got it all back together, took it for a drive to celebrate and found that now my other windows don't work. I know I got everything plugged back in right, are they on a separate fuse that may have been blown? (I didn't unplug my battery - heh)
You may want to take the door panel off to see if you can tell what or if something has broke inside the door. You may want to check the window regulator. Hope this helps you out.
Just a quick question - I installed the replacement motor and regulator - everything went smoothly - the only problem though is that the switch (to raise or lower the window) is now reversed. Down is up and up is down. I don't think I reversed any wires during installation. There really no way to do that since all the connectors are dummy proof (no way to accidentally reverse them). Any ideas?
can you do a video where you replace a whole door? also, my window won't roll up and this should help, but is there a way where I can hand. crank it to go up?
Thank you for watching. Unfortunately, we do not have a video on installation for your vehicle. We will keep your vehicle in mind for future videos. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
my 2002 sentra's drivers door window is very slow and struggling to go up or down. is this the motor or regulator? also is the rear door motor and regulator the same, can i just swap them?
+hottubsteve Thanks for watching! You will want to inspect the regulator and the motor to make that determination. If it is just going slow then it will most likely be the motor. Unfortunately the motors are not interchangeable from front to back. Here is a link to the parts detailed in this video! www.1aauto.com/1A/WindowRegulators/Nissan/Sentra/1AWRK00333?TH-cam&CTA+Comment&E5YHKzUTEgY
+hottubsteve Thank you for the response. We recommend having the motor tested, and potentially having some lubrication applied to the tracks. 1aauto.com
Hi. My driver's window got stuck to 3/4 of the way up and only moves a short distance. I have opened the door and saw that the cable which brings the window up and down has been partially cut thus preventing the cable to slide and roll freely. How do I proceed then to remove the window. Shall I cut the cable? Thanks
Thank you for watching. You are correct, cutting the cable will free it up for you. Here is a link to the item on our website. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393 www.1aauto.com/1A/WindowRegulators/Nissan/Sentra/1AWRK00333?TH-cam&VideoReply&ATony
Great video, I have 2006 Nissan Sentra and I took my door panel and the installation off but my window will not move. I try to use my hands to lift it up and it will not go up. It seems like is it stuck. Any suggestions on what to do? Thank you
What should I do in my case? So my motor is dead but the window glass is all the way down at the bottom, I couldn't pull up the glass at all since the regulator is holding it. Which means I can't even pull the glass up to the point where the bolt that holds the regulator with the window.
+D Dewaukee We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
+joseluisgonzalezism We currently do not have an auto repair video that covers this particular repair. We will keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future. 1aauto.com
All of a sudden 3 of 4 windows quit working. Only the drivers window is operable now. Any ideas what could cause this? Seems unlikely that 3 motors died at once
Thanks for watching. It is possible the Master switch has failed. To test this you want to take the door panel off. Put a test light the the connector that plugs directly into the motor. When you activate the switch up and down you should have power at that plug in both positions. If you find power in one position but not the other, or power at all you know its the switch. If you find power in both positions then usually it is the motor. Hope this helps! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
This is my son's car. Believe it or not it was just the switch which prevents passengers from operating windows. In this car if that switch is off not even the driver can operate them!!! Thanks for your response!
I have a 2008 Nissan Sentra and my driver window and lock switch wont work it wont even go down or up itsually works for a quick second when i turn my car on but then it stops. when i use the the switch to lower the other windows it works, also the lock swithch doesnt work!
HI Joshua, It really isn't one situation over the other. There are typically a few different things that can go wrong that would cause your window to stop working correctly. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

Question how do I get the window to come up to replace the motor?

Same here with rock auto, did the research on images before buying but I got that rectangle plug when I needed the round edge square plug

question. is it more often the regulator or wiring that needs to be changed? Thanks!
hi there! may i just ask if you happen to know the cable lengths for a '94 nissan sentra front and back window regulators? thanks!

Great video. If I just wanted to remove the motor can it be removed solely, or does the actual window and regulator need to come out as well?

Figured it out. I pushed the child safety button. :)
My passenger side window would not move properly, how do I know which part I have to replace, window motor or window regulator?
