car in question is a mazda familia (1991 ish?) hatchback
sounded like the ratchet thing was skipping in the window motor so i pulled it out and replaced it.
when i pulled it out i noticed it had already been replaced, it had writing on it that had the model and chassis etc. what they write on them at a wreckers.
now the new one is doing the exact same thing.
you have to assist the window coming up by pushing/pulling it up and down, otherwise it just clicks over, really loud and obnoxious.
i have figured since this is at least the 3rd motor thats been chewed, there must be a problem elsewhere.
perhaps a relay that is supposed to click over when the window gets to the top?
any ideas?[/u]
