My 2000 Acura TL.....the driver side window does not go up and down any longer. Can I fix it myself?

hi it sounds like the window regulater if u can hear the elec/motor working chances r the window regulater is stripped or seized

Driver window switch assembly has a 'lock out' switch that when engaged prevents other windows from working. Try toggling the switch and check for operation from each door .

Most likely broken cables or broken sash clips. Time to remove the door trim panel and see what's going on. Replacing a window regulator isn't very hard.

Check these websites you find there fuse box diagram and description for Acura TL (2000)

Hi,

Please see the solution to this problem at this FixYa Tip.

Many thanks.

sounds like the a/c is not fully charged, have the system serviced by pulling the freon out and pull a vaccum on the system and recharging with proper amount of freon. this should fix the problem. if when fully charged and this happens either the high pressure switch or low pressure switch could be bad.

It sounds like the cable has pulled off a pulley. You probably need a regulator, if you hear something every time you push it, then the motor may be fine. Take the interior panel off, make sure to look for hidden screws :>) and check regulator. You can do it if you take your time :>)

verify that there is power to the blower motor and that a fuse is just not blown.
if the fuse is good and there is power to the motor you will need to replace the blower motor.

The wires in the seat heater will burn out if they are left on HI for too long. You can take the seat out of the car, remove the seat covering, and solder some new wires in place of the fried ones. Then put it all back together and hope you don't get a shock in your **** when you flip the switch for the first time. I just did this to my 2000 TL today and it took about 3 hrs to get it all worked out. For step by step instructions go to: http://joshsworld.com/cars/acura-tl-seat-heater-fix/

I would get online and check some of the Acura discussion boards as there particular things related to different manufacturers/models/years that can happen if you just disconnect the wiring harnesses and pull the seats. If you want to be safe, disconnect the battery before you disconnect any wiring harnesses going to the seats as the car may take a break in the connection as a problem with the airbag seat sensor and throw a check light error if you don't ( BMWs do this...ask me how I know ! )
