I have had this truck for about 2 weeks, and a problem has come up, and... well, it's a pet-peeve, and it's one reason why I changed vehicles, the old vehicle had this problem and I never could get it right. So, to have this show up in the replacement vehicle has me a little...
Here it is:
All four power windows go down perfectly. The problem is getting them back up. The driver's window seems to go up normally until about 75% up, then it really slows down, almost stops. But, it speeds up again right when it is 90% up. The other 3 windows also do this, but not as badly.
I know for a fact this was not happening a day ago, for sure on the driver's window, not so sure on the others. I applied a dry teflon lube to the window tracks and it got better briefly, not great, but better. An hour later, it was back to slow again.
I read the thread 'Power Windows 101'. Sperry.... I knew someone like that on another vehicle message board... what a loss. What I got from that was possibly the DDM (Driver Door Module). Now, lacking schematics, I'm thinking the power for all the windows goes through the DDM, since it has a lockout, but I don't KNOW that.
A general search for information gave me pretty even advice on different parts to replace, but I don't want to just start throwing parts at it. I am hoping this is some common issue and I haven't been here long enough to pick up on it.
Not having schematics is holding me up from troubleshooting. I went looking for factory service manuals and at $200+, that's not an option right now. What are other people using for wiring diagrams?
Right now, if I have to just start replacing parts, I'm likely to go with:
1)Circuit breaker checked by swapping with another one.
2) Driver Door Module (DDM)
3) Power Window Motor and Regulator Assembly
Ok, any thoughts greatly appreciated. I would bet this is going to get worse going into winter and I'd really like to move on this.
Thank You!
