Windows not Goin up!

[305dsm]

So i changed the battery in the car and the battery light is still on!
I have 5 added gauges, Apexi Controller, Turbo Timer, and Boost Controller; would this cause the car to take too much battery and not be able to roll up the windows or lock my locks from the button? do i need to get a battery with more voltage? i think that is it because its a new battery but the light is on! LMK!!!

i would get your alternator checked before replacing the battery, a bad alternator can make your battery go bad.

+1 for checking alternator

When you try to roll up (or down) your windows do you hear the motor attempting to move? Or just nothing?

 

[Eastwood95]

First things first, how and why did you add a turbo timer and a boost controller to a N/T?

Is your profile incorrect?

Press the window lock button. Again.

I wrestled with my pass. window for an hour last week before realizing I had hit the lock button :Me

... I was in my parking lot at work a month ago disassembling my windows to get my passanger side to roll up. Took out the switches and verified they were working correctly, checked power... checked connections... etc... After an hour trying to get it to work to beat a coming rain storm, it turns out it was my windows lock button.

Felt like a tard... but sometimes its just something simple.

Any help?????? please this is becoming such a pain. i checked all fuses and nothing!! anyone have any idea whats up??

Do both sides refuse to go up?

If its just one it could be a bad motor and/or transmission bracekt.

Both Sides Dont Go up nor Lock. could it be maybe the main car fuse? im just stumped it sucks.

What kind of alternator was put in when replaced? If its a reman. from a place like autozone with lifetime warranty--then it might be on its way out already. Those are hit or miss. It could hold true for other remanufactured ones as well. Check voltage on the battery with car off, then with car on. Should be 12volt off, then 14 on. If it stays at 12volt or lower or over 14volt when car is on, alternator is overcharging, or not charging it at all. Causing the car to run on the battery until its fully drained and obviously die.

As far as your window, check all the fuses, remove teh door panel, make sure the switch box is connected, and in working condition. And do what everybody else said above.

Have you pressed the window lock button on the driver's door yet? It controls both windows.

 

[itzadawdge]

check the volts to see how far it drops when trying to turn it over or rolling up the windows

YES I HAVE PRESSED THE FRICKEN WINDOW LOCK BUTTONS THAT WOULDNT STOP MY DOORS FROM LOCKING ASWELL SO I KNOW ITS NOT THE PROBLEM.

Now, the battery reads 11.1 i believe when it is off. maybe the alternator is bad again? i will check what kind of alternator it is.

Nice that you've finally let that secret out.

Now, the battery reads 11.1 i believe when it is off. maybe the alternator is bad again?

Sounds likely.
