-- Hello All, I own a 1997 Acura CL 2.2. It has power windows and yesterday I pushed the button to roll the window up and nothing happened. All you can hear is the sound of the motor and some krinkling noise. Is there anyway I can get the window up manually for the time being? Also, what might be wrong with it and how much will it probably cost to fix?
================================= Your subject line says: WINDOWS WON'T GO UP . . Did you mean they are _all_ dead? Did you try pulling up on the glass while clicking the switch? Which window is doing it? 'Curly'
My 97 accord power windows were binding when going up and down - sprayed some silicone in the tracks on the sides - up and down no problem now. You may have burned out the motor - try squirting some silicone on the side tracks with the window down, help it up manually. If no soap - you may have to replace the motor unit - tight places requiring small hands.
============================ That reminds me about something I forgot to mention. Don't grab the window with pliers. It could explode and then you'll really be spending some bucks.:-( 'Curly'

The crinkling noise that you are hearing is the metal wire wrapping itself around the piece which interfaces with the motor. She had the same sound coming from her window when trying to move it up and down. It turned out that one of the two pulleys snapped off. I'm not sure how much it cost to have it replaced by someone else (as it requires dismantling the door trim) but the part isn't too expensive. This repair isn't too difficult to do, just time consuming. I'd get a Haynes manual to help you out if you get stuck. Nick
