After pulling apart the opening, while the window was 90%, to lube and oil the gears, I went to lower the window and it wouldn’t lower. So I thought to myself “Hmmm… Maybe I’ll try rolling it up…”
It ends up being that wasn’t the best of ideas either. It rolled up and now I can’t roll it back down! I’m happy that this isn’t a daily driver, but I’d still like to use the tailgate. While diagnosing I've noticed that when I push the switch to have the window go up, the lights dim, therefore there's power. However, the down switch does nothing. Also, the rear (exterior) key swith for the window does nothing (no dimming lights). Could they be related? Should I just order a new swith for the exterior?
I know there are some technical posts on ifsja.org, but is anyone familiar with this problem? Are the parts still available, is there another motor that I could upgrade to in the process of pulling it apart?
Just generic ideas if anyone has any.
And as always, thank you guys for your information. By the way, here’s a picture of the ‘Giant Orange’ with its original paint; I just wiped off the dust to see how it looked:
