Hi, I'm new to the site...but I'm hoping to find some answers from those more mechanically inclined than myself.

The driver side window of my 98 Z28 keeps cutting out. It's as if there the power is being cutoff because of overheating. When I push the button for the window to go down, it will lower approximately four inches, then stop. Then a few minutes later I can push the button again and it will lower some more, but then again stop. The same problem occurs when trying to close the window and I don't need to tell you how inconvenient that is when you're about to start rolling thru the car wash...YIKES!! I can hear something under the dash clicking, but damned if I can locate where that is coming from. Any suggestions as to this problem? Thanks to anyone in advance who can help.

 

There is a window module under the dash on the center to the right by the firewall I believe. I dont know if that is what happens when those go bad.

 

Yup...you may have something...when the window stops I hear that 'module' make a sound that doesn't sound healthy....

 

My '96 only has 23,000 miles on it and I've had to replace both window motors.

 

Replace the window motor... eventually all camaros will do this...

 

So tell me...is replacing those motors a job the do it yourselfer can do without a lot of cursing??

 

Its not bad of a job but pay close attention to the adjustments. And watch the regulator. If the motor come apart from it, it will snap at ya because of the temsion on the coiled spring.
And when ever I would do one I added the cursing for fun.

 

i was wondering how one might go about changing the motors my drivers side window i havent rolled down in months for fear that it wont roll up again and my passenger side is fine but its getting on the slow side. also my drivers side when it did roll down it would bump i guess you could call it like it was off the track or something

 

Jump to the facts and take that door panel apart. You can manually get the window down, but honestly to get your work room, pull that bad boy out of the the frame and then re-install window after replacing the motor. Be sure to make sure you do not move your tracking on the window or the alignment will never be the same without a headache.
