2000 Grand Vitara, Drivers Side Window rolled down but wouldn't roll back up. Popped the window switch control panel out of door, unplugged connector, plugged it back in, still didn't work. After fiddling with it again, tried window and it went up. Put it down again, wouldn't come back up. Waited about 20 seconds, tried again, heard a click like something had tried to work. Let it set for a minute, window came up about a 1/3 of the way and stopped again. Waited 10 seconds, it went up another inch, stopped again. After waiting another minute, window came up about 1/2 way and stopped. Waited again and this time it went up all the way. The temp today was in the mid 90's so I'm leaning toward this maybe being a heat related issue. Would a motor going bad do this or is there possibly a circuit breaker in the line somewhere that could be acting up because of the heat?
Hi Mark...did u get it window issue fixed ? I'm having the same issue and didn't find a proper solution given in this thread.... Appreciate if someone can help...mine also same 2000 grand Vitara
Ok its just an electric dc motor.
what can cause no up, failure.
1: not getting full 12vdc to motor,.(uses a $10 voltmeter to not guess) if why low, then the power feed is bad there. say below 10v. keep in mind motor overloads can cause V drop,.(V= I square x R, ohms law)
2: guides bad overloading the motor.s
3: if the hot wiring the motor does not move it up that means.
what,? motor bad, or guide jammed. (reverse wires to go up, reverse to go down, 12vd on one wire, ground the other. 2 pins.
so we remove motor and operate it by hand to see if guides are ok,. (not hands on motor but its guide drive end)
4: later years, they added a child proof clutch to prevent johnny from crushing suzy head for fun. really. and clutches do fail and slip, you'd hear it slip, I cant.
or if the guide is jammed said clutch slips and thinks bad johnny deal.
i think yours has no clutch. in 2000. my 04 did not.
it's just motor , a switch and a guide.
many this old are bad guides. jammed. up.
