What would cause my 92 gmu Sierra 4x4 5.7 to sound great when first started then as soon as I pushed the window button down it sounds like it wants to die?

I push the window button up it goes back to running fine. I've disconnected everything electronic inside the cab except the doors. My battery will not charge because I put a volt tester on it and u can literally watch the volt go down from the battery. Someone that had it before me had a plow hooked to it. So who knows? My headlights r nowhere bright enough. Can u please help me I have hardly any hair left lol! My battery is new and alt is fine according to autozone. The gauges do funny things like turn on my heater when I shut it off that's y I took out everything electronic out of it for now to weed them out of the equation

I would take the alternator to an accredited auto electrician as the problems you describe indicate that it is not charging
It may have an out put of 14.5 volts but it has to be dc volts and unless auto zone employ qualified auto electricians they would not test to see if it is ac volts being put out
If you can watch the battery volts going down then there is nothing going in

Testimonial: "OK will do this after noon but would that cause the light to be done and as soon as I put it in drive or reverse it dies out? And how does the electrical door connect under the dash I think that someone hooked up the doors wrong when putting them back on because the lock button operates the passenger window on both doors. I do know that the power locks got to have a continues line of power even with the key is out but the windows r broken as soon as the key is out does this make since? So I need to know how each door is rebooked up back in the dash."

My 2006 gmc sierra 2500 turns over but no combustion for start

This sounds familiar. I know one thing that may be causing it is the security . This is a very common issue in GM's. It fails and then will not let your car start Its has happened to me. This company has a module that you can install yourself. great customer service... hope it helps ya

I have a 2003 gmc Sierra half ton 4.8 liter that has a knock that sounds like lifters

There is,If you do the lifter you could be after something else,The noise sounds like a collapsed lifter,A collapse lifter can cause a misfire,The 2003 GMC sierra or I should say the 4.8 engines suffer from a cut O-ring between the oil pump screen and the oil pump causing oil areation,resulting in lifter noise,The noise will be present a cold start and then diminish at warm up.12_3_2012_8_08_44_am.gif

Rear window came down wont go back up all it does is make a clicking sound

Sounds like the gears are bad. Try pulling up on the window while pushing the button. This may cause it to catch.

89 gmc sierra screwed up while driving

Sounds like you may have broken your timing chain. Try doing a compression test. You should get pressures no less than 90-100 psi. If you find extremely low pressures,you probably lost the chain. This could have caused valve train problems. Good luck

I have a 2001 gmc sierra 2wd 5.3 engine starts for 2 seconds and shuts down any help would be great thank you

THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE CLUTCH ON THE SIERRA THAT IF DOUBLE PUSHED DOWN IT ACTS LIKE A CHOKE. CANNOT QUITE REMEMBER. JUST LEAVE IT OUT OF GEAR AND DO NOT PRESS THE CLUTCH. THEY FLOOD. i KNOW THIS SOUNDS STUPID. I HAD ONE ONCE AND AFTER ABOUT SIX MONTHS IT STARTED DOING IT. ITS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE CLUTCH AND EXCELERATOR AND HOW YOU PRESS THEM. IT MIGHT BE YOU DO NOT TOUCH THE EXCELERATOR AT ALL JUST THE CLUTCH. I CANNOT REMEMBER HAVE A FIDDLE WITH DIFFERENT WAYS OF TRYING TO START THE CAR. CLUTCH DOWN ECCELERATOR DOWN CLUTCH OFF ECCELERATOR OFF. OR EVEN DOUBLE THE CLUTCH TO STOP THE CHOKE. ITS SOMETHING LIKE THAT. PHONE THE DEALER THEY WILL KNOW IN THE WORK SHOP. SAY A SILLY WOMAN SAID IF YOU LIKE. LET ME KNOW.

Subaru 2000 outback power window driver's side

Hi there,
Very simple. Only one of a few things. First off. Push the up and down switch, listen, if there is a humming sound, your actuator may be fine. You window may be off track. If it is not off track, and there is a humming sound, then it may be the master switch. They are not that expensive. If it is not the master switch, the only other two things it could be is the up/down button or the connectors under the button. I hope that helped you out. Good luck and let me know. Have a great day.~MWD
