Power window

    I have a 95 SL1 in which I have just replaced the motor to my power windows.
    It went out 3-4 years ago but I have always had other priorities to spend my
    money on.

    Anyway now it is installed and I can finally go to a drive-thru with out
    having to get out of my car. I do have one question for this group though
    and wonder if anyone can help me.

    The window I fixed was on the divers door. The way it is supposed to work
    is, if I know that I want the window all the way down I should be able to
    give the power switch a good push and let it take over from there and if I
    only want it partially down then use a lighter touch and stop it where I
    want. Well I can roll the window fully up and down, but the automatic
    feature where I give the power switch a good push and let it take over from
    there is not working.

    This isn't a big deal, in fact a big improvement after not having a working
    window for the past 3-4 years, still I would like it to work 100% not 99%.
    I was wondering if this might be because the new motor does not support such
    a feature, or would it actually be a problem with the power switch itself?

    Thanks,

    Mark.

  2. The "express-down" feature is activated by some circuitry that is likely
    part of the switch, this may not be functioning anymore..

    Thanks, I also think that it is the switch. Today I noticed that the feel
    of the switch is a little different than it used to be. When I push it now
    I no longer feel that little extra resistance that I used to feel to
    activate the express-down feature.
