Its Winter and the WINDOWS DONT ROLL UP!!

Post by philndz »

So i went to Circuit City today and stood in the installation bay while i watched their employee fit a speaker into my driver door.....the speaker didnt sound good and i ended up having him put the factory one back in.....when i got home my windows would not roll up....so i took the car back and they checked everything...all the fuses and such as well as the door harness........nothing. everything seemed ok but the windows still did not work. i have to go back tomorrow morning and they will contact a technician but if that doesnt work then i have to take it to my dealer. the good news is that circuit city will have to cover all the costs. i dont know what could be wrong?????-Phil

My first instinct is replacing the speaker causes a short which blows a fuse.But, you're saying the fuses are all ok, so I don't know then...Is it just the one window or all doors?
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!

Same thing happened to my Sunfire, Cept the passenger window is worse. Both roll slowly but passengers takes a couple of minutes each inch it goes up..
