How do you troubleshoot power window problems on a '94 Lexus ES300?

Answer 1

Hello. Being the owner of a '94 Lexus, i am well aware of the car's propensity for power window problems. In fact, i realized how very common of a problem this was once my front passenger window stopped working. Well, after removing my door panel and inspecting the components i was quite surprised to discover that the inner workings of my door were what appeared to be one complete unit. This indeed was confirmed upon my calling a local Toyota dealer. The entire unit needed to be replaced for a proper repair and it would run somewhere in the neighborhood of $235 for a "window regulator motor assembly." however, if you would rather be hot than cough up that exorbitant amount, such as was my feeling, there is another option. Open the phone book or search on the internet for a salvage or auto scrap yard in your area and simply call them. There are an unbelievable amount of cars out there which have been involved in accidents and damaged, yet have excellent, practically brand-new window regulators on them! A great resource requiring a simple phone call.
