Thumbs down Well, Crud. My first real problem - driver's side power window quit working.

It's still under warranty, but I have a vet visit scheduled for Saturday, so I am gonna have to get the car in Saturday before that . So much for sleeping late ...

Weird, though - I wonder if it is the heat 'cuz there have been zero problems or symptoms until now at lunch.

I assume it is not the switch as the other windows work fine.


Anyone else have a sudden failure of a window ?

Lightbulb Wonder if the heat caused the thermal overload to trip.

'Cuz it started working on the way home last night, and still is as of this morning.

It has been 100 or greater in H-Town during the heat of the day, and if that door was in the direct sun, who knows ?

I had a co-worker push down on the window ( one hand on either side of the glass ) while I was working the switch - he said it was solidly locked. That was around 3:00 ish.

When I took off at 5:30 I ( of course ) HAD TO keep jacking w/ it, and it finally came back to life.

I'll keep an eye on it - in the meantime, now you know - FWIW.
