Troubleshoot Power Window Issues
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi,
I've checked out many of the awesome threads on replacing S-Type power window parts, but I can't find troubleshooting info so I know what part to replace. So here's my situation.
On my 2000 S-Type, neither the driver side nor the passenger side window button will operate the passenger side window. When either button is pressed, I can hear a little clicking behind the dashboard (obviously a relay), but nothing happens to the window. All other windows operate fine. I checked the fuse and *I think* it's fine.
Does this mean I should replace the regulator? (And I can use the one for the Lincoln LS that costs $66 on Amazon
)
Thanks in advance!

If you find your motor is bad replace the motor/regulator assembly. Go to www.rockauto.com - Look up Lincoln LS - 2000 - passenger side motor & regular assembly - I believe it's $63.00 - I installed this part in my 00 S Type - works 100%
Good Luck.
Good Luck.

Norri, I used the Lincoln regulator and I did have to re-drill one of the three or four holes that it attaches to accommodate. When you take the old one out you will see what I mean. When putting the Lincoln one in one of the bolts attached to the regulator would not fit exactly through the holes in the door frame and had to drill a new one. Was off just a bit but enough to need the new opening. Worked perfect.
I also read or was told somewhere that the regulator could hold up better if when closing the door, you make sure the window is all the way up first and not sitting in the door. The door is massive when you really think about it and the closing with the glass down can cause it to rattle or move around a little bit or cause some issues. Not saying you have to do this so the regulator works or doesn't break but just an added precaution. Who knows.

It is always wise to open and close your doors with the windows all the way up and fully supported in their frames. This is true for any vehicle. The exception is convertibles - you're actually more protective of that glass if your window is down when opening and closing doors since there is no frame and therefore no support to the glass on three of its four edges when the window is fully up....

I know several people have done it succesfully, maybe it's operator error with the failures, or the wrong part?

Looks like I was confusing things it was the 2003 + cars that people were having problems with. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...problem-53590/

Gus, now you have me guessing on this. And by the way, you were and have been a great help on this as you are with the other issues over time I have had so I don't think I would be a sane person if not for you when it comes to helping me fixing the Jag
.
I really think I had to drill a little bit to get the regulator to fit into my passenger door but could be wrong. The mechanism was the same in every way as the one I was replacing but the areas where the three or 4 bolts of the regulator attached to the door frame but again I could be wrong. Getting old really sucks.
Anyway the Lincoln regulator works and should have no issues installing it. If anything when removing the inside door panel from the frame I do remember the loud snaps as those plastic pieces snapped out of the frame. Thought I was breaking everyone as I did it but most were ok. Would definitely recommend getting this tool for the job.
