350Z passenger window issue
2006 350Z Grand Touring
So short story - Bought this car with understanding passenger motor needed to be replaced.
*Bought new motor and when I went to install it I noticed the passenger switch was unplugged.
**Plugged it in and the window still did not work. But now the switch started making this 'electrical' buzzing sound when attempting to operate the switch (Or when the "opening door" feature engaged)
***Replaced switch with OEM nissan switch. Auto down / up worked perfectly and there was no hiccups in the operation of that window. So I returned the motor figuring I didn't need it....................All was well.....................For about a week anyways.
****Now I am back to where I started. The window does not move at all, and the new switch is making the same noise.
I have read all over Z forums and have not heard of a solution to this particular issue with the switch making sounds and the window being inoperable.
Anyone have any clue what could be going on here?....
.I am really about to say fuck it and buy the motor again, a new regulator(which looks and operates fine by looks of it), and another switch(if need be). If this goes unresolved, I might just drive it into the ocean.

Re: 350Z passenger window issue
Definitely try the motor. It could have a dead spot in it. If you change the motor and switch and the same thing happens then you have a short somewhere in the harness. If the 350Z door is anything like the G35 then it will be a royal pain in the ass. If you need any other advice let me know, i do this shit for a living.

Yeah. it is a PITA on the 350 as well. I've done it a few times, but I guess I will just replace the motor and see what happens.

Re: 350Z passenger window issue
Yea I agree with switching out the motor.I have a spare motor sitting here that I need to install on my driver side but my old motor still works kinda just cant use my auto-up feature. When it warms up I will tackle this.
