    Hey what's up! Thanks for this! I love the picasso! I'm running through this problem. My window is stuck up. And I'll use this video to try to diagnose and fix the problem! As far as I read from the comments there are two main components that could be faulting, either it is the regulator, or it is the motor. I hear the window motor at least is initiating when I press up and down. I hear some clicks. So I would assume the motor is working. So the problem might be the regulator then. I think this makes sense right? I know very little to nothing about cars but I'm thrilled for trying my first hands-on fix! If I can't fix then I take it to the car workshop!

      Yes you are spot on I would guess that the regulator is at fault but you would need to tale it apart to find out I'm afraid.

    Hi, how is the mirror still in place after mechanism removal, It looks as though it would slide down because of a lack of support.

    • @Martysworkshop
      @Martysworkshop  2 роки тому +1

      Usually, the window is quite stiff in the runners, so it should stay in place. If it is loose, then you can tuck a piece of cardboard inbetween the glass and seal, which should hold it up. Thank you for watching

    Hi, i'm trying to diagnose my windows problem. When I push the button down or up it just makes a low moan and moves only a fraction, it did completely stop moving on me the other day and up or down made a slight mmm like it wanted to but got no movement and the sound was very short not continuous if i held down the button. Turning off the engine and restarting the car allowed it to work again but only on tiny fractions again with the same noise. Is it likely the motor or just the regulator or both?

      ​@@Martysworkshop hello Marty, somehow my window started working again so I'm happy I didn't had to do all this work. I recently (re)discovered the existence of scanning tools and actually ordered one. And I was wondering how helpful it would have been in troubleshooting what was going on.

    When I press the button to wind my window down, it only goes down about an inch. Pressing the button again makes it go down another inch, and I can repeat that till it is down. It was working fine, but this happened coincidentally with somebody pushing my wing mirror in to make the car narrower. As the wing mirror is close to the winder motor, I suppose there's something in common. I'm just going to take it out now.

    • @Martysworkshop

      Try polish in the seal around the outside of the window, this is quite common

      @@Martysworkshop Ah, no, it's not due to friction. It's funny how it happened. It was working fine, then I noticed that somebody had pushed my wing mirror in in a car park, to make more space to pass, I guess. I went to wind the window down to push it out again, and found that the window would only wind down an inch or two at a time - but it stops because power to the motor is cut after it winds down just a bit.
      Normally, if I click the down switch (momentary press), the window will wind down all the way, but if I press the switch for more that half a second or so, it will continue to wind down till I release the button, then it will stop. This means there is a timer somewhere to decide whether it was a momentary push or a long push - and I'm pretty sure it is that timer that is affecting how the window winds now.
      I thought it would have something to do with the wing mirror, because it had been pushed in,. and is physically close to the window motor, but I have taken the window mechanism out, and now, I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the mirror. I'm having a real struggle to get the window motor back into place again. I've spent a couple of hours on it, but it's behind the inner skin of the door, so I can't see behind it to locate the studs in the holes.

      If it is going down really slow then i would say possibly motor, but if it is going down normal then jamming half way down with any clicking noises the definitely the mechanism
