e36 coupe-window stuck up (doesn't open)

[sicilianace]

I noticed as i recharged my battery on the stored e36 coupe.......the passenger side window is stuck up(closed position)....it doesn't roll down(open) when i press down on the switch...nor does the window pinch down when the door is opened.....

your help is appreciated..

maybe the fuse blew ?

Anthony,

check fuse, then i would remove the door card and lube up anything that has to do with the window channel and gearing and also see if anything is blocking movement.

the fuse is fine because driver side window works great...i think the motor is fried.....because i hear click sound (power)to the motor but doesn't start......

It may be your, lift mechanism, mine did the same thing and the point that pivots had snapped ( its like a scissor), look behind the door panel, it's like a clicking sound, the motor works but no lift power with the snapped mechanism

Guys, problem solved......it was one of two connectors to the electric motor....a bad contact....so i lubed the CRAP on both connectors, regulator, gearing and window channel..it started working fine....something good ....

P.S-Rommel thanks for tips......
