This actually helped me out when trying to bring the window back up!!
Awesome appreciate your comment
Instructions unclear I now need a new window along with a new window motor
Aww man, so sorry to hear this. It actually works just need to be gentle when you bang on the motor
Wow this really worked. I didn’t even strip open my door just hit the panel a few times and it worked
Glad it helped out
I'm actually gonna try this method 😅✅️
Works for TV, Computers, Phones, coffee machines, Hifi amps, motorcycles too!
I love it, thanks for adding

Damn, I thought it was a gimmick. It freaking worked. Thank you a bunch

This is the old "get under there and tap the starter when the car won't start" trick 😂 just gotta make sure you don't leave the house without your hammer which can double as a weapon nowadays 😂
Didn’t even have to remove panel. Couldn’t even see motor. I just found rough idea where it was, wacked the panel a few times, and it worked! Thank you!
Glad it helped
Thanks, it helped me fix my girls Jeep Compass motor by doing this. Her window was stuck down. Saved me the hassle of taking it out and replacing it.
Glad it helped❤️ appreciate you sharing
Did it work for good or did you replace the motor later?
Good tip , it worked and saved me a lot of labor , thank you . This happened after a lot of rain followed by humidity , Honda Odyssey , all good now thank you much
Did you eventually need to replace the motor?
Wow!!! I am shocked to have tried it on a window that is full down. I pressed it going down, banged on it. Did this like 3xs and it worked!!!!! Woooooooo! Thank you
It worked! Thank you so much!
This is why I love CZcams it saves time and more importantly money thanks for the help
Glad I can help
Can't believe this worked, tried on my nissan juke 2013 model.
Got me out of a hole, going away for a few days tomorrow.
Will need a new motor but it worked 👍👌👏👏👏👏

Even the connector back of controls can be loose disconnect it and connect it again should be sweet if not then you go to the motor i didn’t go as far as stripping my door

Wow, thanks!
Nooooooo........I took mine out and ordered another one. I'm about to reinstall it and if it worked I'm cancelling
Some cars even have a hole to insert a screwdriver and it hits the dead center of the motor and you can tap with a hammer, some cars dont require taking it all the way apart like this
Thanks for adding
How to fix that cloth after removing it?
I changed out the switch because they’re cheap, didn’t help. Saw this vid and slammed the door a couple times and it worked. You just need to let the thing know who’s the boss.
God Bless you Brother...🎉
Appreciate you buddy, thanks so much
Works for my chev colorado
Thanks
Thanks!!
You’re welcome
This reminds me of banging on the big back tvs lol
❤!a0
😂😂😂it worked
🤝 thx for the tip
Anytime 👍🏼appreciate the comment
Honestly can’t say how thankful I am. Window was stuck down for a whole day and was stressing about it.
After watching a ton of videos online with no avail, yours was the last video I stumbled upon.
Tried this method, and even just used a wrench to lightly tap on it, and BAM it worked.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Appreciate your gratitude 👍🏼
almost 5 years not working power window.. i try your suggestion. booom! Its work im
shock.. your damm genius sir.. save money.. God bless u sir
You're welcome! glad it helped
If you are able to take the motor apart. Clean the inside of the motor. Electrical contacts etc. lube any shafts or gears. Your motor will often work like new agin.
I actually did this and it lasted another 6 months, great point if someone is in a bind and needs to buy time, thanks for adding this
Should i still hammer it while its in the down position if the window got stuck in down position ? Thanks
Hammer it, hold switch up to go up, down to go down
@@dannysdiygarage thank u for ur reply
Thanks i hate these electric things
I need your advice please Brother 🙏🏼🙏🏼😞😞😞
So unknowingly I've only gone and ordered a US Market Dorman 741-736 window regulator which is for a USDM Civic's (Passenger side) so have just discovered that the regulators motor electrical plug is a 2 pin whereas on my UKDM Civic (Driver side) it's a 4 pin plug.
So basically regulator and motor would fit as it's for the right side door, just theres 2 wires and a 2 pin plug instead of 4 wires and a 4 pin plug to connect to my UKDM wiring.
Any ideas to work round this bro? Damn totally my fault I should've known plugs would be different being that RHD - UKDM and LHD- USDM,
Totally my fault 🤦🏼
Please help 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I just uploaded a video that might help you with the wiring, check my CZcams page, it goes over the circuit wires
It works for reals
It worked
❤ hopefully it’ll get you br for a while 👍🏼
Omg 😮 it worked
90% of the time it works, however the question will be how long
@@dannysdiygarage yea i know , will change it soon as possible, it just stuck and needed a way to open it , thnx anyway cheers
It works trust me
Good to know 👍🏼
What if the window motor works and window goes down and up but jutters before closing completely. It’s as far as it closes leaving a 3/4 “ opening???
Most likely will need a motor and regulator assembly, I have probably 4 videos on windows on my youtube, that's my guess.
My power windows and power locks don't work. Should I try this this trick? I am going to assume that the window motor has nothing to do with power locks. And again both windows & locks are not working. Every time I replace the fuse it still won't work.
I have a couple of videos on my channel addressing power windows, how they work and how to diagnose them, these should help you, I'm also working on a door lock video that should be out later this months. please subscribe
Window goes down but won't come back up without a direct power jumper.
I have a video on this
How did it fix it? what is the cause?
The brushes wear in the motor, temporary fix
Does that control all windows? Or does each window have its own motor?
Each window has its own motor

I need help. I just installed my window motor and the window does go up but now it does not want to go back down.
I have a video on how to fix that
czcams.com/video/AOnRCJMwf9Y/video.htmlsi=CJiYBjYvIzFtlkPB
Hilarious. Just replace the part
My drivers window goes down, but the other 3 windows don't work.
There is a clicking noise when I try the buttons for them though.
I have videos on my page the should help you diagnose this
@@dannysdiygarage Thank you!!
You just gotta show it your pimp hand ✋️ 😂😂😂😂😂😂

If that don’t work get a bigger hammer!!!
Absolutely
If it doesn't work get a bigger hammer.
always a bigger hammer
I've seen this for fuel pumps but it was more of a last ditch effort, what is the science behind this?
Yes fuel pump, I used to bang on the bottom of the tank with a rubber hammer to quickly diagnose fuel pumps on suburbans a trucks, starters also, reason the motor gets stuck and the jolt free’s it, usually do to brush wear
motor has carbon brushings with a spring. they consume and get smaller and smaller till they not pushing on the rotor . hitting it wiggles the 2 carbon pieces so they get in contact again.
not an expert but that's my theory.
edit LOL I ve see the reply after I wrote
Can someone explain WHY/HOW this works?
the short answer, brushes are worn and don’t make a good contact anymore, hitting it with the hammer kinda repositions components, long answer: The commutator on the window motor is probably worn. This causes a poor fit against the brushes and whacking the motor causes a better fit; although it's temporary. The situation would be the same as a worn starter motor that will start working again after being whacked briskly with a hammer.
How do I remove the motor I can't figure it out
