Beatup96 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) So I'm driving the "new" 2002 SE now , and one thing is a bit of a PITA . The drivers side front window has the "auto" thing where it will go all the way down or up on it's own depending on how you actuate the switch , as does my '96 . Problem is that the 2002 most often will go all the way up , but then opens itself again about 4" . This is a very sparsely optioned SE and doesn't appear to have any memory options as I can tell . Is it something replacing the regulator might fix ? Don't want to buy the part if it may be something else . My '96 never did this .

HiiiFiii Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 My 97 XE had a similar problem. I suggest replacing the master control switch within the driver door. I understand that it is costly, though, and may suggest that you disassemble and use electrical contact cleaner to freshen up the ball and spring actuators. Sparingly grease them with electrode lube after cleaning. Mine appeared burnt and scared the copper contacts so I merely replaced the entire controller for around $90. Beware: they're fragile and a pain to disassemble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jyeager Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 It sounds like a safety feature. It is supposed to detect an obstruction being encountered before it's fully lifted and reverse direction to save lives. There is a procedure for recalibrating it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6UvdbJ3nFk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaPath Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Exactly what J said above. Also, try lubricating your door tracks with silicone spray. Mine get like this every few months and require a liberal lubing using silicone spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
