Car: 2006 Sonata 4 cyl.
Where: Upstate South Carolina, USA
Issue: Passenger side front window working very intermittently
Symptoms: Very strange. The window is currently up. Most of the time neither the drivers side switch nor the passenger side switch will move the window (it's not locked). Randomly, with no particular situation (hot, cold, day, nite, wet, dry, etc.) both switches will work and the window will move. When working, it appears to work well. It's not slow or start/stop but moves smoothly at the same speed as the other windows. Been like this for a long time.
Though this is my 1st post, I did try the search function first. Reading different posts got me more confused. I'd like to figure out exactly what needs to be replaced before tearing into everything. Since this is a daily driver and I do not have a garage, I am reluctant to tear everything apart looking for a problem. I wouldn't think its a switch since both switches either work or don't. I don't think its the motor as when it works, it works fine. I don't actually know what the regulator does. Has anyone else had these exact symptoms and what was the problem? Where is the best place to get replacement parts? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
