'98 Sonata Power Windows
I posted the topic "Sonata Power Window Lift???" a little over a year
ago; the responses were, for the most part, unrelated to the original query. Now, we have a related, but somewhat different problem, and we would be most appreciative of any advice you all can provide. We obtained a window regulator for our 98 Sonata through a Korean company that sells new parts on eBay (they were very helpful and cooperative) at a much better price than we could get locally (either new or used). After installing the new regulator in the driver's door, the window did not operate (this is the 5th one of these that I've installed, so I know the problem was not with my installation technique). The window had been fixed in a slightly down position for several months while we shopped for a cheaper regulator, etc. and we assumed water leakage from rain (yes, it does rain here in PHX once in awhile, even though we just broke a record for days without), coming in the window and leaking into the switch in the door panel. We bought another switch panel from a salvage yard that was from a Sonata with about 40K miles on it and they said it worked fine (it looks like new), installed it and the window still does not operate... All the other functions of the switch panel work fine, so we are wondering, is there something we are overlooking in getting this window to work properly? Has anyone else run into a problem like this? Any suggestions on things to look at or consider would be greatly appreciated. Lee |

The first thing I would look at - soley based on what you write, is water damage. Water and electrical things do not go well together. Take your voltmeter and get inside the door. Look for voltage at the switches, at the motor when you hit the switch, etc. You could well have a bad motor or even corroded connectors inside the door. Just out of curiosity - why 5 regulators? That's too much experience. > > We bought another switch panel from a salvage yard that was from a > Sonata with about 40K miles on it and they said it worked fine (it > looks like new), installed it and the window still does not operate... > All the other functions of the switch panel work fine, so we are > wondering, is there something we are overlooking in getting this window > to work properly? Grab that voltmeter. Especially with electrical parts - always check before buying. -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |

Re: '98 Sonata Power Windows
Mike,
Thanks for your thoughtful suggestions. I'll work with the voltmeter this weekend to see what I can find. As for replacing the regulator 5 times, it was always a case of the cable overwrapping on the grooved nylon pully. All but the first were while our son was using the car, so it could have been from too fast switching from down to up or something similar. My time the same thing occurred but I was very normally lowering the window at a fast-food drive-thru when it locked-up. In that case, the car was 4 years old and had about 80K miles on it. It was probably about time for the cable to frey and tangle itself as it went over the pully. Lee |
