Check power consistency at the plug supply end ensuring there is a continuous consistent voltage supply. If good then rejoin the plug and back probe on the motor side and check again.
Matt you need a workshop manual. Those regulators need to be calibrated. One touch might work when you do the key lock/unlock trick in the door. Both of these are in the WS Manual. Contact me and I can answer any questions.
@@matt13ross yeah I’ll Have to look it up again but I believe you have to turn the key to lock position several times then to unlock to get the windows to work with the key. Also, again from memory, the windows need to be fully rolled down and back up several times to sync them up. Finally the regulator has a top stop and a bottom stop that has to be dialed in with a stop screw. Count your blessings that you didn’t buy a cabriolet. 😭
There are two switches, one up for the inside and one for the outside, I had a similar problem and actually was the soldering that was cracked overtime, I just heat them with a soldering iron and melt the solder and it worked perfectly.
i agree. allways swap parts before you buy new ones. had the same issue with a headlight on a saab that didnt work, it was the fuzebox and not the headlight so glad i swaped lights first!
I’ve been watching your e36 and now the 996 videos and you are near the top of my followed car UA-cam channels - you are very relatable - amazing work - all the way from 🇬🇧
If you haven't checked out what Crucible Coachworks did with the front end of their 996 after you get it running you should check it out before the repaint which I vote white with a Martini livery in vinyl or the really pretty metallic blue they do now. Then, when you redo the seats, do tartan fabric centers and door panels. How can you not call it Tool Time Tuesday's?? Been looking forward to the upload Matt.
Plug the passenger side window motor into the drivers door harness and see it the problem persists while being wired to the drivers door. If it follows over to the driver side, it must be the motor.
My windows (not Porsche) started behaving oddly and then eventually stopped altogether. I changed the switch, then the power window control module, it ended up being a dicky relay that was hidden in the passenger footwell. Props to you for going it alone, I would have taken it to an auto sparky by now haha
Bad batteries in cars will definitely mess with electronics. Replaced the wife's batteries in her jeep, made a massive difference. Even if it isn't messing with the window, it can mess with how it runs. At least in my experience any manual I ever drove, ran like poo on a bad battery. I am curious if that thing does too.
I agree the bad battery could b the root cause of multiple electrical issues. Try the window with the car running. Then, Like others have said, swap the window switches and then try with car running
It sounds like the relay is clicking on and off in time with the window starting and stopping. Could be something wrong with the module that controls the windows.
Hey Matt, the white "tape" is for "home installation" not for driving with it. It can loosen due to the vibrations and become leaky, it is better to use a liquid agent. nice project btw. greetings from germany
That's just a Johnny Cash passenger side window but instead of One Piece at a Time the window moves One Inch at a Time. You should put a meter on it and see if the motor gets voltage and then loses it. Maybe it's a bad switch, ground, or relay.
@12:09 Thank you for that! That's a great look on it. The dimples on the inside are just plain stupid for everyone who understands airflow. With the window, damn that's a hard one. Have you tested the resistance of the wiring or switch maybe?
am really enjoying this series..you are doing great..maybe time for a voltage/current measure on the window motor...continuity check on the switch (can you jumper out the switch)..am guessing there is a window relay also..can you jumper that out
You making good progress..That window situation is crazy...I'm not gonna lie..If I was keep that car for long term..I probably would convert it to manual roll ups from a FC Rx7 or something..it's just too much trouble.. hopefully you fix it though..Good Job so far..👍🏽🏁
Possibly the window switch has a loose internal connection. Swap the window switch left to right. Takes 2 min and costs nothing. If the problem changes side, easy fix. If not, at least you ruled that out.
@@matt13ross In that case if I was in your shoes I would dedicate more time to just this problem for now. Not as a side quest in between other mods. 1-Check for broken wires in the door jam. 2-Try swapping the motor left to right (sucks I know). 3-Check for loose connection at the fuse box. 4-Check body control module with "durametric" scan tool. You can also do what's affectionately called the "wiggle test". Wiggle all the wiring you can reach while activating the window. If there's a short somewhere you wiggled, the problem will get better or worse.
For the window, I can't remember if you've checked relays if it has any. But it sounds like it could be a failing relay. If the relay can't hold the switch constantly, it could cause an intermittent on/off/on/off
@@matt13ross usually on its power module, switches control board. Think it works on amp loading, if your voltage is not regulated on its control, a low voltage will cause over amp and its safety will kick in.
You only fix things with the parts cannon of your lucky. You need to diagnose the problem, not just fire parts at it. You’ve probably got a wiring or earthing problem.
You can put chemicals in them such as brake cleaner and then pressurize them which will allow you to spray the chemical continuously with a single button press.
Hey Matt, does that thing have a "comfort relay" like the E36s? The PS window on my 318is would work, doing that little bit at a time nonsense both up and down. Replacing the comfort relay fixed it. Jusr spitballing a suggestion. Keep up the great content, buddy! Ken
Could the window problem be a stored code that needs cleared and reset ???? Or perhaps the wiring harness to that switch has a bad contact or is damaged.
Regarding the window: It's the switch issue, I have the same problem with a French car that uses mutiplex signals to lower and raise the window, when the resistance in ohms of the switch is not the right value the window module will not know if to lower or raise the window. In my case the power window switch uses the same contacts as a tv remote and those are known to fail after some times of use! The solution is to change the power window switch assembly!
Eh Mat I don't know for the 996 but my Golf R, when i unplug the battery and plug it back the one touch window button dont work. I need to run the car like 1-2 miles and then every thing work good. I know make the seting with an OBD2 for the car can work to. So i do mine with VCDS. Your window regulator seem to work fine so the problem are probably in the coding
@@matt13ross ok so nothing works ! So i know in VW some car need an adaptation, kind of, it's a process where the window regulator need to know each position. It's like put the window up and hold the button for a certain amount of second, then put it down hold button etc. etc. Im pretty sure you can found something stupid like that ! Because if we go logically the button work, the regulator work it's brand new so it's need to be something like that ! Don't give up friend, don't give up ! We are still with you on this car for sure !
I can't remember if you replaced the switch itself (for the window) or not. But maybe hook a meter to it and see if the switch is not breaking connection.
Change your battery! These cars are super sensitive to bad batteries. I have had a handful of Porsches. I had a Boxster with tons a electronic gremlins and I changed the battery and it all went away. I too trickle charged an old battery but thats not enough, moreso if you live in cold weather. Not sure it will fix your window issue but it did fix mine.
Bad switch or relay or fuse maybe? Wiring in cars is the worst. A bad ground wire could mess the whole vehicle up. I would recommend checking any ground wires and make sure the contacts are good.
At this point it probably would've been easier for you to strip the whole chassis. Drop the engine and Trans and pull the interior to start with a clean slate
Does the Body Control Module have any part in controlling how the windows operate? I know that thing can cause all sorts of electrical gremlins if it gets damaged, so maybe window issues are a part of that
Matt, you could always separate you car build channel from the rest by saying Porsche instead of Porsch. lol 😂 I think your window problem is going to be the relay or possibly the console switch. If it's just one window acting up it's probably not the battery.
@@matt13ross I must've missed that. just the switch? Have you checked the central locking unit? Then again the PO could've messed something up with their creative wiring habits.
@@matt13ross Not sure about checking it other than visually but it's located under the driver seat. Sometimes there is moisture/ corrosion and all kinds of issues can arise.
have you tried to reset the widow memory? open both windows and hold the window button down for 10 seconds after they are completely rolled down and then roll it up and hold it for 10 seconds
@@matt13ross yes so initially you have the 2 buttons on center console, you hold both the buttons down until both windows roll completely down and continue to hold them down for 10 seconds, then pull both buttons up until both windows are rolled up and continue to hold the buttons up for 10 seconds, that should synchronize the windows and do the one touch feature
I haven't heard of doing both at the same time. The problem is, I can't hold the pass button down because I have to press it 10 times to get it all the way down.
Could your window just be a bad ground. Perhaps you're hitting the switch and it runs out long enough to short a fault. I'm a chiropractor, no mechanic, but perhaps run a short reliable ground to the switch and see

The most expensive, frustrating way of diagnosing problems is throwing new parts at it. Look at the channel diagnosedan and take that approach with the window. Save yourself some time and frustration.
I've been diagnosing and asking many questions. I truly never thought it was regulator problem, but many told me otherwise. I swapped the switch in the middle console with the driver's side, no change. It's down to a wiring issue, BCM issue, or window motor issue.
@@matt13ross yea you might want to wait and see if the new zr2 is really any good lots of times a new model has lots of issues I love my 21 zr2 when they are lifted and restyled, they look so much better than stock.

Good job chopping away on all the fixes. This car is a basket case but it’ll be worth it if it ends up running and driving like a Porsche should

Load regulator that’s gone soft, it’s a safety protection so that the window does not chop your head off, is my guess on window problem

All the money you have spend and you cheap out on a good battery?!?!?!?!?Geez
No need for some expensive battery. A $150 battery from autozone or Walmart works fine in these cars
I didn't cheap out, just didn't get one yet.
where is the added power ?
The upgraded and larger plenum and throttle body.
👏👏👏👏👍

Haven't really driven it in 7 months. Dealership messed up the new reg paperwork too.
Love you videos mate but can you please do something with the exhaust, it just sounds like a sloppy fart I cringe every time you start it, I know they can sound mint with the right one fitted
The mezger engine sounds like a tractor at idle no matter what exhaust is on it.
I wanted to swap out the exhaust but the like challenge failed :(
I’ll be happy to send $100 towards getting it done if you like
Haha, thanks but I'd rather have the group approve and give more likes!
First 😎 love this series
Thank you!
not just including the test drive footage >:(
