Power Window Major MALFUNCTION (Mitsubishi Galant)

Published 2024-07-08
This 2010 Mitsubishi Galant came from the auction block with completely dysfunctional power windows.
The car lot owner has tried new switches and regulators and is completely STUMPED!

Let's see if we can bring the Mitsubishi Windows back to a functional state with minimal extra parts.

BONUS DIAG: CRASHED Camry V6 Crank No-Start!

    No ....my 2005 Dakota is a "primitive system"...you grab the window handle and turn it to make it go up and down....the diag is easier though...
  • @spodyr6
    I admire the fact that you will do whatever you can to make a repair. Most people would just get another switch.

    16:51 we've seen Ivan verify the test light so many times it can seem like a formality, but here's why it's important.

    one day I decided to start looking for tutorials and learn theory and then try to understand the diag technique by just watching my Tenzing Norgay... thank you Ivan... really hope someday you can write me back to my mail... which it is in my youtube channel... knocking the door doesn't mean to go in... thank you ivan
  • Test lights don’t lie, burn up circuit boards or blow fuses. Thanks Ivan!
  • @baxrok2.
    It must be beyond satisfying to fix window problems like that. Well done Ivan. Thanks!
  • @rogercray2484
    Ivan , you always go that extra mile in your diagnosis and especially with the repair..this is the old school approach and quite refreshing to see 👌😎
  • @TheVespap200e
    Ivan to the rescue again! Nice job! I love his laugh after he fixes the problem!:hand-purple-blue-peace:
  • @mre1984
    Very good problem solving skills, and yes, test lights have their uses!

    Nice one Ivan. I used to struggle with electric window systems untill i started following a systematic process to figure out what was the issue, made my life a lot easier. You, Eric and a few others helped me a great deal with developing that. Thank you. On a side note, i have had a few "NPR" window problems that were caused by pin tension issues on the master switch, specifically on these systems where all the current runs through the switches, tighten the pins and car is fixed😊😊😊.

    Nice job to work on. No unnecessary modules for features that simply don't need them - just basic circuits. I miss car electrics of old!

    Yeah, I'm sure the shop owner is gonna replace that harness😂

    I worked on the HG-HH Galants under warranty back in the late 80's early 90's. Great cars.

    Thank you PHAD, appreciate your diagnostic work.
  • If you understand what you are doing a humble test light is all you need .Excellent diagnosis!
