Hello,

Maybe someone could help me!

Today i realized that the left window (driver side) it's not working as usual. When i push the button, the window goes up/down not continuously... with 2cm every time, and under the dash-board in the right side, i hear a tick tick in the same time.

What could be the problem?

sounds like yr window relay is playing up, check were you can hear the noise and push them in properly, it may need to be replaced though.

hello,

but on the right side the window works perfect.

where can i find a relay? is it expensive?

tnx
 
it's under glove box, actually behind glove box.
maybe is not relay, maybe is button broken and does not have always contact.
 
Maybe this can be helpfull

The windows movement is very slow when the weather is cold
A: If you have to press the window button a few times before fully opens (or closes) then you have to remove the black panel from the door (starting from the bottom is easier) and add grease and oil to the glass guide and cable. No need to replace the window motor as some dealer have suggested.

If you press the window button while helping the glass go up a little with you hand, does it still stop like before? I ask as it could be the loading on the motor and you need to oil the window runner.

i tried helping the window but it still stops every 2cm and i hear the relay ticking at every stop.
the lifter it's greased. i really have to discover the problem cause drives me nuts the way the window goes up and down
 
I'm not sure if there is some mechanism that will stop raising window if you try to stop it by hands (by force). maybe are rails rusted or something and motor can't raise window normally, there is some resistance and he thinks that window is closed and stops it. not sure about that... just loud thinking.

Hello,

I'm sure it has nothing to do with the mechanism cause when the window it's fully raised, and i still keep the button pressed, i hear that continuous tick tick. Usually was ticking just once. Now it doesn't stop. I'll try to order at Fiat a new relay...

My question is... only the left window it's connected to the relay?

thanks
 
by the sounds of it there should be two relays, if there are try swapping them over and see if the driver's side window works, if it does then it is the relay..(y)

there's only one relay for both windows (the green one).

I took out the left lifter to change the plastic parts and pushed the button and i heard the same sound. So it's all about the relay. I have to change it :(.

Btw, anyone of you knows if i take out that idle valve for cleaning, i have to grease the spring?

any tutorial around?

thanks
