Power Window fun times.
A couple of days ago, my passenger side power window decided that it only wanted to roll up in 2 inch increments.
Yesterday, I tackled the problem. Thought I'd take it apart first and see if I can fix it before getting new parts for it. After removing the motor and taking the end cap off, the commutator looked pretty dirty. Cleaned it, the motor housing and the brushes, re-lubed the bushings, and soldered the thermal switch shut.
Odd thing is that they're the original motors from 1998 (The rivets were all original/intact with no access holes drilled) and they had the somewhat newer style white end caps.
Also found a rattle that had been driving me crazy; turns out that one of the three rivets that hold the window regulator assembly never went through the metal bracket it's supposed to anchor. Drilled it out and installed a nut and bolt.
Previous owner had installed tweeters on the doors. Well, almost. Only one of them was actually hooked up. Removed them. Found out that the door speakers are not original. Debating on changing out the original radio for one that has bluetooth/audio jack but so far I can't find one that isn't ricer-boy neon. The audio is still better without the add-on tweeters, though.
