    I had both my rear windows quit 1/2 down , in a panic i cut the cables and pulled windows to close and locked cable to hold... 6 years later i am fixing the rear windows. i acquired 2 mechanisms with motors and replaced them today ( with your video help. ) unfortunately the window only will go down on driver side and no action passenger side.. jumping with battery to motor leads both windows can be made to go up and down.. i assume switches are the problem ? Also the driver door switch will also not activate either rear windows ??? Front driver switch also need replaced ???? Any help or suggestions or supply for switches????

    • @robbo6460
      @robbo6460 10 місяців тому

      Sounds like the master window switch (driver door). Don’t replace the passenger switch until the master is done. Everything travels through the master. Most times you can jerk the master switch off and it will start working. Put a little backwards push on the switch while jerking it off. If the master starts working then try all the other switches. If they work then replace the master.

Front driver side switch works correct for both front door windows and all locks, but does not work rear door windows either side. I removed both rear door window switches and disassembled them, and cleaned with electrical spray cleaner. They looked fine inside ( have not reinstalled or tried yet. ) i am heading to a junk yard today to try and find other driver side front, driver side rear, passenger side rear switches.

    When I removed the transmission fluid filter it was full of old torn gaskets. I clean it out and fixed it back but the car is not moving. It jerks to move back but doesn't go but doesn't do anything at all when on forward shift. The sub is not moving both front and reverse.what is the problem?

    • @robbo6460
      @robbo6460 Рік тому

      Wow. I'm not a transmission guy but I would check a few things before condemning the transmission. I would drop the pan again and pull the filter again for anything else in there. I would also pull the shift solenoids and see if anything is in the passages. This feels like your best option to me. If the system ran dry because the pickup was blocked then your plates are most likely burnt. If that's the case your looking at a rebuild unfortunately. Join the Isuzu Mafia on Facebook and post your question again for them. There is also a guy who rebuilds them and swaps them out for you. It's cheaper then a transmission shop because you pull yours and install the rebuilt one. Hopefully my first suggestion shows a clogged valve or passage and it's a simple fix.

    • @OnlyMyOpinion
      @OnlyMyOpinion Рік тому

      @@jumpeven6100 I set the project aside for the winter. Here's what I have done so far. I removed and cleaned the transmission pan, replaced the a&b solinoids and the filter. I only have first and reverse gear but thats an improvement over having only reverse. I can put the vehicle in any gear and it will squeal the tires. Again that an improvement over doing nothing in any gear but reverse prior. I plan to check the switch on the drivers outside of the transmission by the shifter. Sorry, I just can't thing of the name of the switch off hand at the moment. I also have a TOD light on so I need to address that Issue also. My big improvement was that it wouldn't go into winter mode before but now it does. I was able to get it to run in winter gear when the fluid was cold but not hot. That tells me at least I know 3rd gear is possible. I bought the vehicle used with the transmission not working in hopes of salvaging the transmission back to working mode. My immediate diagnosis was that the fluid was low and it came out black. Ya, I know that means burnt but it gets worse. The pan and magnet was full of fine gray shaving dust and I know the transmission is dirty inside. I know its a long shot but I believe I will get it at least functioning again when I get it cleaned out. I'll change the fluid a couple of times or flush the trans fluid after I get more improved. I plan to put the Axiom on blocks and run the trans for a bit in 4x4 before I flush the fluid as well. Last but not least, I hear a clanking noise for a moment when I'm at 1500 rpm in first gear. Not sure what that is but it seems like it might be from the TOD system, I'll look into that as well. Good luck with your transmission and please share any successes you may have. P.S. I did adjust the transmission bands as well.

      P0155 has nothing to do with the AC. That's an o2 sensor heating element code. The AC should be checked by a pro. Lot's of things can cause a compressor to not engage. Low freon. Blown fuse. Bad dash controller. All need to be diagnosed. A pro will get you there faster and cheaper than guessing.

    Hi Robb,. I have enjoyed your videos of work you have done on Shrek, and am in the process right now of putting the Old Man Emu (OME) springs, part #2929, for a 1.5-2" lift, and matching shocks (Old Man Emu "Nitro-Charger" shocks, Part # 60074). I bought them from Desert Rat, in New Mexico or Arizona - somewhere down there in Road Runner country. Right now, I am stopped because I don't have a spring compressor, and think I will have to un-do the sway-bar links to get it to drop a little more and let me shove the new, longer coils in, "tight" coils on top. I'm operating with pretty basic tools, open/box combination wrenches, with pipes for cheater-bars and lots of WD40 to tell the old shock-post threads to cut that "binding" shit out. I have no hoist or anything fancy, just using a little 8-ton hydraulic jack to get the ass end of the Trooper up in the air, then holding it up there with stacked concrete pier blocks under the frame at each trailing arm front mount. Seems pretty steady and safe. Front tires have a brick in front and back so it won't just roll the f--- away. Dirt (gravel) work area. Being an old retired fart, I am going slowly on this ... because I can. It's a "Gee! I've never DONE this before" job, so I am being patient, and making sure I know what others have dealt with. Thanks for sharing YOUR experiences. I appreciate it. Now to get back out there before the Seattle area rain starts up. Mother Nature is tricking us here with a little sun and breezes, into getting some outdoors stuff going on, so she can laugh at us and bring on the rain. Typical... Again, thanks.

      Thanks for the compliments. There should be no need to comress the spring if you lift by the pumpkin and have the shock out. I used mine cause I have them. Harbor Freight sells them cheap if you find you can't force them in. Good luck

      @@robbo6460 Update: i used a bottle jack between the axle and frame to push the axle down about one inch. That is what my Trooper needed to slip the new spring in with no sweat. I gradually let the pressure out of thw little bottle jack as I checked the top of thw spring to make sure it stayed in position, then started looking at the OME 60074 shock. It was a bitch pounding thw top bushing into the shock, but I heated thw bushing in boiling water to soften it, then pounded the bitch in. Next, I looked at the fit with the top bolt, and it had a lot of slop! WTF, over? I am in contact with ARB about why they didn't send me a sleeve to fit between the 19-20mm ID of the rubber bushing and the 14mm diameter of the non-threaded part of the bolt. If I had a machine shop I would just make a f-ing sleeve and move on. But I don't. (I have been a machinist in my many lives) So, I am stopped for now, while the clouds spit rain on me from time to time, and I put my "driveway mechanic" tools away for now, until I figure out a sleeve for the bushing and bolt.

      @@logmeindangit I'm on the mafia group too. Best group period. Idk if you got the wrong bushings. I suppose you can make a sleeve or see if they have other bushings available?
