Problem overview

Some Nissan Frontier owners report experiencing erratic window control issues, including intermittent window operation and slow movement. These problems may manifest as the power window working sporadically, responding to the switch at times and failing to do so at others. Additionally, if the window operates inconsistently from both control switches, it could indicate a faulty power window switch, which may be resolved by cleaning the electrical contacts on the switch circuit board. Furthermore, a failing window motor can lead to the window not opening or closing properly, necessitating a replacement to restore functionality. Owners are advised to troubleshoot related components such as fuses, relays, and circuit breakers to identify any underlying electrical issues contributing to the erratic behavior.
