Scotty Kilmer After watching this video I'd rather pay to have the work done.
Scotty Kilmer don’t know if you will reply, but I bought a new motor on my Prelude for my passenger side. I’m getting power on my switch that shows it goes up and down. Motor is brand new. Still showing sign that it goes down but not up. The driver side doesn’t do anything to make the passenger side go up or down. Could it be the driver side that’s the issue for both? (Driver side window works fine).
Is it allways possible to lock a windows up? If not how much sould it cost to buy the whole thing like you did?
Saved me $350!
@@pauldunneska Idk my way around a car, I have no experience with these things, not one bit, but I feel like even I could do this Job myself. All I know how to do is take my bumper off lol but rest assured I will rebuild my gearbox before Xmas.
gotta love good old manual hand crank windows
Darn kids and their fancy electrical windows.
err... manual crank windows also have window regulators that (in some cases) are basically the same as electric ones jejeje... but certanly are more durable...
those needs maintenance as well.
It would be nice if these power windows also had a backup handcrank tucked in, so that you can use that in case something goes wrong with the electronics.
Right my 04 tacoma had a crank window & i just sold it & bought a new tacoma with auto windows & already its fucking broken so pissed i haft to replace it now
the way he does it and says stuff makes me feel like a could do it that fast lol I feel like a mechanic dude after watching this dude
I have a problem and hope you can help, my rear windows on my oldsmobile silhouette 2002 won't close, I have checked the fuses their fine the window motors are also fine. What else can it be.
Welcome to scotty Kilmer my friend
True
You can! Maybe not as fast the first time but you can totally fix it it.
The power of jump cutting!
The world needs more mechanics like you. Im so used to running into sleazy men who try to raise their profits by damaging another part of my vehicle. Now I take matters into my own hands and you sure do help a lot. Im thinking of going into vehicular mechanics myself. I only trust my hands touching my car.
It's hard to find an honest mechanic who'll treat and care for your car as if it was his own.. So I just do all my own work. With time and the Internet we can do any job.
Dont forget to give this man some credit please
I took my 4 year old car with only 40,000 miles to a body shop after something hit the windshield putting a smash in it and then damaged the driver’s door (I never saw a thing). The sleezy repair guy (recommended by my insurance agent) stole my entire car and put its vin into a similar vehicle that had been in a flood and looked like it had been used as a dog house in a salvage. Cops wouldn’t even take a report, couldn’t even talk to da without a police report, tried for over 2 years to find an attorney. Only justice I got was the insurance agent going to prison over unrelated but worse crime involving child porn. I’m a woman, but I’ll watch every TH-cam video before I’ll ever take my car, my mower, or anything I can possibly maintain or repair myself to a repair person. Scotty is one of my favorites and there are a few others that explain everything so well, even us ladies can usually fix it.
This is still true after 5 years, I went to a mechanic to fix my broken window glass and in turn he damaged my motor
The motors typically DO NOT go bad.
For me taking all that crap a part And taking it off - piece of cake. Putting it back together forget about it
im always left with extra screws after putting everything back together 😭
Let’s have dinner and talk about it
@@Giller9 haha!
Wahahah

THanks Scotty! Instead of $500 to fix my daughter's 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer window bought parts on eBay from a highly rated seller and did the repair in 2 hours for $35. Should have seen the look on her face. I got to be a hero thanks to your help! :) thanks!
Thank you, you saved my life. Switched the rear window motor with front driver's. Same motor! You weren't exagerrating how easy it is to disassemble and assemble it back. Sold the Nissan Bluebird!

Thanks for the easy to folllow video!! It took me longer to go pick the part up than it did to actually fix my husband's window!! Feeling accomplished 😁
you fixed this by yourself?????? yea right, you can't even SEE where he's sliding the regulator into. don't even know if it's sitting on something or not.
try spraying silicone spray oil on the front and rear runner sills where the window rides up and down, that often helps. If not, time for a new motor and or regulator
I like your humor guy thanks for all the videos they do really help ..

Thank you Mr Kilmer, brilliant video! Straightforward and informative and with personality to boot!
Quite a timely job indeed. This is a nice step-by-step review Scotty! I vlogged the same for the 2008 mkz. There are not a lot of window regulator vlogs on YT for certain cars so your vid is a huge help. Thanks for taking the time and sharing this video.
I have a 2009 lincoln mkz AWD car. The window won't work and the and won't work. How hard was it for you to get yours apart before I start and end up getting stuck in the middle of all it lol.
@@beleivingforbrian6928 On my mkZ playlist. I vlogged the process from beginning to end. You'll see it's a job. But it's doable. Cheers.
Scotty is the best. Someday I'll say "when I was a young mechanic" and think back to watching his videos and learning all the basics from this guy
Thx a bunch dude. Just changed my Mitsubishi Galant window after I was robbed. Saved about a hundred in repairs. You teach very well.
if you can get it open from the inside, remove the panel as in this video and see what's broken inside, often a little rod just falls out inside and does that
I love what you do for everyone Scotty and more importantly why you do it! Thank you for all your help :)
Dave from Davidsfinegeckos
I love your videos. You helped my car when I had a dirty air intake which led to poor idle. This is now my next project
You made this so straight forward and simple to understand, thanks for making this video, it helped me out tremendously!
you need a new window regulator assembly, and me, I replace the motor too in most cases as they work in tandem
OMG I love this guy!!!
Been taking in your car wisdom for some time now. You're the freakin' best.
Thanks Scotty, I just did my drivers side window after watching your video, it was a big help. Cheers from Australia Scotty, many thanks!
The best learning sequence of brain, mechanics and how the mind absorbs infornation. ...I've seen. Art. Engineer. Visual. Angle. I know now. So simple! Egh!
My mechanic wants to charge me $900 for this labor.
Nah.
$900?? Is it a Ferrari or something? Mine wants 50 euro for it..
You have a lambo ?
@@Leo-ef2tc It's a Grand Marquis.
Keyshell get a new mechanic bro
Same here mine wants $600
This video helped a TON!!!! Very informative without taking a year. Thanks so much
My dad took his 2000 Mazda MPV to a 'reputable' mechanic in town to get his driver side power window fixed, and the man couldn't find out what was wrong and charged him a $60 payment anyways. I followed your guide and my dad's vehicle had a similar issue, got it all fixed up. Thank you so very much Scotty!!!
Really enjoy all your videos and streams, Scotty! Just fixed my passenger side front power window unit after watching your video and going to AutoZone to get the part. Works perfectly now :)
Damn, I wish this guy lived in my neighborhood 😊
I wished there were honest mechanics like you around where I live!
Lol He just gave me SO much LIFE watching this video. I was able to follow this perfectly, and fixed my window. Took me two hours but damn it I did it myself! Thanks man!
where did u find the new power window I need to fix my car too
My driver side window is coming off the track and going up incorrectly, won't stick to the left.
Great video Scotty. You saved my life today. I had no idea how to replace my window motor, but man oh man I sure do now. Keep up the great work!!!
This was so helpful 😭 I feel like I’ve accomplished so much lol and you’ve also taught me how to change my own head lights on my car.... much appreciated 💙☺️
"Don't scream at 'em"
He knows me too well.
I like your videos!!..they are very helpful but....there's one thing that I will appreciate from you,please take it a little bit serious because a lot people don't have the skills that we have...When we talk about parts and the right way to do things..I am a Diesel tech....and a lot times when I'm working on my personal trucks I watch your videos I understand when you're talking about any trouble...but not everyone knows that's why they watch TH-cam videos Please take some time to be a little more specific for those persons that watch your videos....THANKS AND KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING HELPING PEOPLE.....
Thank you so much!
I changed it myself, not to save the money but I had to wait 4 weeks to get it fixed and snow is around the corner here. It didn’t took me an hour.
And: I‘m a woman. No mechanic background.
You are a great teacher!
Thank you very, very much! God bless you!
This guy is awesome, I love watching these videos!! Thank you!
I was following your guide until you said to grab your 10 mm socket. . .
Team Wagy 10mm socket available at Home Depot Tool DEPT. or any hardware store.
I absolutely love to watch your videos even if my car is running perfectly! How many proposals do you get a week? LOL
Thanx Scotty...your videos have inspired confidence in me to tackle repairs I would otherwise have taken to a dealer! Godspeed to your son and all Marines, Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen who have volunteered to risk their lives to fight the war on terrorism in Southwest Asia
good for you being in the field 44 years. I attended school when I was 45years old for auto. Went to a few interviews and they weren't interested in old rookie mechanics just as the recession started in 2007. I fix my own car when needed , but never worked in the field.
i have been rebuilding engines replacing clutches, transmissions, rebuilding rear ends since i was 14 but i still need to watch your videos for repairs like this i thought this was going to be a disaster watching others videos but i feel alot better after watching yours idk why i didnt look it up on yours to begin with you and eric the car guy have helped me out alot

Another great video thanks scotty
I keep watching all your videos. They're addicting. Keep it up.
You're a stand up dude scott, thanks for videos.
Hey Scotty, Thanks for your videos. This video helped me fix my van's window--turned out to be a burned out fuse, which you mentioned in the video. Thanks again!
Did this today! Just as easy as the video. Thanks yet again Scotty!
Big High 5 to you, Scotty! My hubster watched your vid before tackling the window, and in about 15" he has gotten it taken care of. THANKS!!!

normally a weak motor, but you can spray the glass where it rides in the door front and back with spray silicone lube, that can help.
get a test light, move the switches out so you can test the electronics, and see if they have power and ground when you toggle them up or down.
thats why how i admire this men much, im easy understand his illustration on how to fix, keep it up sir youre the man.
This is a very helpful video. We usually try to do things ourselves when we can. I sent this video to hubby to inspire him. Fortunately, the Chevy Acalache that needs the window fixed is not our main vehicle . Very helpful !

Your videos are awesome you get straight to the point thanks
You make it look so simple! My window is jammed in place with clothes pins. Someday I might brave it, but likely not. Things are never as easy as they might seem. Wish there was a Scotty nearby.
Thanks for the info Scotty! I fixed 2 rear power windows and probably saved $300 because of this video.
I love you man!! The way you explain and talk is just great. I'm about to fix my Honda civic 2013 window following your tutorial
If you're talking about one of those cold air intake filter things, I advise against it, as it can make them run worse due to changing air flow patterns and incompatible software.
you try hot wiring the motor to get it up or down. But actually you need the window down to access the bolts that hold the window to the regulator arm.
@Scotty Kilmer Hey thanks a ton Scotty, this video saved me so much time!
you have to trace the wiring as in my other video "finding the source of electrical shorts", that stuff gets complex, you need special tools for that, or else trace the wiring all the way from the fuse to the door locks themselves.
Omg, this video is like , a life saver.
I’ve watched many many videos, but not one solved my problem till now when I watched ur video.
Thank u very much for such an amazing video. GOD Bless You and Family

no time limit really, but try spraying the window glass front and back with spray silicone lube, that often speeds em up. But if not, time for new motor and possibly regulator assembly
great video. very straightforward.
Thank you! This video helped me to repair both my driver side and my passenger side windows!
Thanks Scotty, very informative, appreciated.
check the main fuse for that first, pray it's just blown. If not, wiring short, check each switch to see if they get power and if none, rewire power there.
thank you scotty you are the best.
Thanks for posting this. Very helpful!
Soooo useful. This is gonna be my next project. Hope this video can be the start of success!!
Thank you, Scotty for sharing your wisdom!!
Thank you Scotty! You just saved me 60 bucks.
a sticking window can do that. Spray silicone spray lube on the front and back of the glass where it rides on the ridge in the door frame, that often helps. If not, you need a new motor
Love your channel bro
yes, you can unbolt the motor from the regulator, then use radiator clamps to hold the glass up in place on the regulator assembly. I do that all the time for people with little funds
Absolutely awesome straight forward video!
Sotty K! Great video, I am going to be taking all this in consideration when attempting to fix my own windows.
I own an earlier model Proton. Power window problem is like ... part of the brand. Thank God for TH-cam, thank God for YOU.
I love this guys video's. So many things to learn. Thanks scotty!
You are the master Scotty .
Ole Scotty knows his stuff.
Extremely helpful
Great Video!
Scotty's the man!
Thanks a lot scotty. I have really enjoyed your personality and helpful tips!
Thank you Scottie this video was very helpful. You made it look so easy.
Another amazing video Scotty. All the windows on my 2001 nissan xterra were bad so I had to take it to the dealer. Luckily there was a recall and they replaced all the motors for free. But atleast now I know how to do it myself if I ever need to replace one.
Scotty: Easier said than done!!!!! Nice video!!
cockeyed is a worn window regulator assembly. That can also make em go slow, but so can a weak wearing out motor.
try lubricating the front and back runners with spray silicone
check the fuse for windows, you may have just blow that. If not, go back to that wire and trace it for power shorts as in my video "finding the source of electrical shorts on your car"
that was great man! Thanks so much for making this video
