Some asshat ruined my day, side mirror and windows...
 
Some idiot hit my car last night and took out my drivers side mirror, body part and all along with my driver's side window, along with that my passenger side window won't roll up anymore... So what im hoping to find is this, instructions on how to roll up passenger side power window manually, a site with decent looking aftermarket direct fit(bendable non-power mirror) and maybe if im lucky someone knows a glass guy in Sacramento? ;; ease my woes this is not the month for my car...

The passenger side window's power is routed through the driver side switch assembly and the relay mounted below it... make sure they're still plugged in.

The wiring diagram for the windows is in the TEWD, hosted on the same site as the TSRM.

For sure looking it up now... man this sucks its f-ing storming here and now I have 2 windows down in the rain... plastic bags didn't hold last night... this will be a fun day.

Alright I got the diagram up, im not too electronically inclined but I know a little bit, I'm assuming I want to take the the light blue and light yellow wires from the master switch and bypass the secondary switch to the power window motor, or do I want to bypass the master as well? I guess I would need to go down stairs and see if it works ;;

Sorry, I can't be of any more help. I had an emergency and don't know when I'll be home or have computer access.

You can jump just it on the passenger side.

916MKIIIx2 01-19-2010 10:27 PM

Understood!

sounds like this is what was done to my car as each door rolls up it's own window... I can't roll up my passenger window from the driver side... I have to stretch across to the passenger side and use the switch on that side to roll that window up. :frown:

That's just bad contacts inside the master (driver's) window switch. If you're mechanically inclined you can take it apart and clean the contacts with a scouring pad or fine sandpaper.

man that sucks, if i were you do what i did...
replace the entire door.. (if its too much body work)
because now i got a fine looking door side mirror and spare glass and electronics for my drivers side...

too bad i live sooooo far away, i have the drivers side glass and switches in my garage...

916MKIIIx2 01-20-2010 06:13 PM

I actually got lucky, the only part the car actually hit was my side mirror, but it tore out half of the wires that were attached to that, im thinking thats where my problems are...

in my opinion "I" would still replace the door, if you know that lots of wires are ripped up or broken, your prob. gona still ripp out that huge xmas tree of wires from the door just to get the slack u need to actually repair the broken wires. if i remember correctly there is alot of work into feeding the wires through to where they go and it has to be exactly where they are supposed go because there is no slack in those wires...
the hardest part is connecting them while a friend holds the door for 20 minutes...
what im trying to ask is, is it able to have a side mirror ripped out then a new one put in?
would the piece that holds the window glass in place get all bent and fucked up??
and did your glass shatter??
it would almost be easier to replace the door with one that has good glass and side mirror already, than replace the glass and not loose the plastic washer in the door... or some how (just a possiblitly) not be able to get the repairs taken care of correctly... and forrever have an ugl side mirror and fucked window...

just sayin
i got my fully equiped door for 75 dollers, guy let me cut all the wires so i could see them coming out of the door right infront of my supra

There's a harness junction right inside the mirror mount, if the wiring is torn further down then cut and patch in a good segment from a parts car or, worst case scenario, replace the door harness altogether.

If there is a problem with the mirror mount/window guide, replace it... there are only 3 bolts.

916MKIIIx2 01-21-2010 04:22 AM

A door would be far more costly then what I currently have to repair, I already looked into it.
And besides I go to school to fix cars, might as well fix my own the long hard cheap way right? ;p
