Power Windows roll up slooooowwwwww

[Ainu69]

I have no clue what causes this might need new door switchs but i don't think its the problem. basiclly my windows roll up ultra slow somtimes no problem but most of time i actully have to help the window up its kinda a pain in the rear.

anyone have this problem i have 1994 gs?

thanks chris

first check your battery voltage, if it's less then 12 it could cause the windows to go up slow. i know when mine went out a couple of months ago it caused the window to go up slow.

other then that i'd say it would the motor, not the switch itself...

well i just replaced my battery because my car died and would not start. so i know my battery is now good, yet the problem has been ever since i had it about 2 years now, i just can't figue it out

Check the switch and make sure none of the contacts are dirty with white stuff on it, or loose. Try another replacement switch if you can find one.
Or to see if the motor is still good. Find the two wires that go to the actual motor. The + and -, then supply the power and ground and see how the motor goes.

Sounds like a bad ground connection, or the switch.

I had that problem but for me it was the switch. I replaced the driver side switch with the passenger side-style and it works way better. (wasnt as bad as you though) I guess it wasnt making good enough contact. I initially repalced the switch cause the internal plastic part that pushes/pulls the contacts snapped, so it wasnt working at all

damn im having this problem too! it started like a month ago

[Zetgohan]

my problem was because the windows were left down so long and the stripping became dry but not cracked. I used some WD-40 on a cloth and rubbed in on the stripping (get inside it too).
I noticed it made a big difference

[Gro Harlem]

WD-40 won't last though, you want to use real lithium grease, the white stuff.

It'll make ur windows shoot up fast as hell.

thats a misconception of WD40, WD40 is actually a Water Displacer that in which it's formula was conceived on the 40th try (thank you tech tv and my brain for retaining useless information). WD40 is not a lubricant

id get motors rebuilt or at least see if they are lubricated

The common solution is like Gro said.. greace the tracks. *Search*
