window stopped working

[Daly]

Passsenger window was working fine (widening of window track done years ago) and today won't work. Hear a clicking sound coming from passenger door when window switch is pushed up or down, either on drivers switch or on passenger switch. Any thoughts? Regulator?

Regulator?

since it's clicking ... probably.

I posted there was a Passenger regulator on ebay, about a month ago or so....but it finally sold.

Here's a BRAND NEW one...a bit pricey since it's at ALL Hyundai/Kia in California...but it's available, depends on how bad you want it I guess.

Actually, it could be a bad relay. See if you can hear where the clicking is coming from. If the clicking is coming from the kickpanel, there's a chance it's just the relay. I don't know if you can take it apart & clean it or if you need to source a new one.

Thanks will check out relay first.

Clicking is coming right from around the switch/door handle area.

[tom4bren]

That means your relay is functioning so it's probably your regulator.

I've had luck with other cars doing this:
Remove door panel and while activating the window up/down switch back and forth tap the motor with a small hammer. If the gears are bound this can jar them loose. It's worth a try.

just went through the same thing. R&R the motor. you want a Cardone 47-4307. Don't let them sell you a 4309, its a different drive gear even though it says it fit, it don't.

Never taken off door panel before. Steps to remove
take off handle, disconnect window and lock switch, remove screw for door opener, pop off plastic tabs holding door panel on
anything else?

[tom4bren]

Remove tweeter cover (1 screw behind little disc), door handle cover (1 screw), window control panel (pops up & forward I think).

Pull door panel away from door (IIRC, there's about 8 of those clips to pull free). Harbor Freight sells a pretty slick tool for releasing those clips without breaking them.

Lift door panel up away from window track & release connectors for window & lock wiring from behind panel. Set door panel aside.

Gently release vapor barrier from door. It's glued all the way around. You'll probably tear it but it can be patched with duct or masking tape. If you tear it real bad, you can replace it with a large (heavy duty) trash bag.

I'm going from months old memory so someone chime in if'n I've forgotten anything.

something I wrote a few years back. I had the tools, but if you don't just adapt what you have even if its from the kitchen. You might want to pick up some plastic trees if you break any or they are bad.

Cool. Could you also change a bobo. Meant to say #3 phillips, not a 2 when removing the 2 screws under the door handle.
