    Rear windows stopped working

    Both of my rear windows stopped working about 3 months after I bought the car, I never bothered with them because I don't sit in the back seat obviously.

    I just found it odd that they BOTH stopped working at exactly the same time. The window motors both seemed to be in great shape as the windows went up and down very quickly for an e30.

    When I push the buttons for the back right window I can here the motor click on but I get know movement. I guess I need to bust out the multimeter, but does anyone have any tips?

    And no it's not the window breaker.

    Alright get this, I manually crank my back right window, and it seemed like it was stuck almost. After cranking it manually down and back up the window started working fine, I celebrated, and then tried the passenger side window. I could crank it down with ease but I can BARELY turn the window back up with the little allen key, I have to use an excessive amount of force to crank it back up. The window still doesnt work. Could it be jammed up or something? I don't get it because both windows worked fine before.

      You think maybe the regulator seized? Cause that bitch is HARD to turn up. Easy down though. I couldn't believe it when my other window started working just from manually cranking it though.

          I guess so, I'll just pick up a new regulator when I get some extra cash.
