Window Problem


Recommended Posts

Posted

Ever since i installed subs in my truck the windows dont roll up at the same rate anymore

the driver window rolls up alot faster then the passenger

anyone know why or how i could fix it cause its pretty annoying

and also, even when the amp is unplugged and everything with the sterio is stock it does it

hmmm that sounds more like the motor or track is damaged then anything else .. maybe the subs knocked something loose in the door? .. or the window rattled enough in its track to damage it .. and not cause it to roll up smoothly ... same options with the motor ...

its either mechanical .. or electrical ... so check the mechanical parts first (including power window motor) ...

 

if that isn't it ... then the system may have damaged an already old battery ... and is causing more of a strain on the electrical system (or very rarely, the power wire could be real close to the wiring for the drivers window ... and the 'magnetic field' around the wire could be causing interfierence in the power supply to that door)

heh .. did it do that before the stereo? ... if not ... check the battery .. get it tested .. get alt tested ... upgrade your main power and ground wires in the engine compartment ...

i think im gunna wire in a dual battery setup cause that should take care of all the issues with power and still provide enough power for the offroad driving lights i wanna stash behind the grill for people who dont turn off their brights =]

it would be a very good idea to upgrade the ground wires in the engine compartment (and add a few others) ... and upgrade the main power wire that goes from the alt to the battery / fuse box ... doing that alone can eliminate most of the common problems like headlight dimming and such .. (and can help with performance to a small extent) ...

 

then adding a second battery on top of that is ok, but adding a second one on top of wiring that is barely proper .. can just lead to other problems ...

 

think of it this way ... on your amp ... i am just guessing .. but you likely have at least 8 guage .. if not 4 guage for power and ground right? ... well the ground is going to the body ... most all of the ground straps that connect the body to the frame .. (and to motor etc) .. are just a thin wire or a flat peice of webbing... there is only one decent sized ground wire, and normally it is hooked to the engine block ...
