Window goes backwards! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have just installed a new window regulator into my '92 camry. When I press the switch to go down, the window goes up. I have re-checked the wiring and it was fine. I am out of ideas

If it helps, the bag the regulator came in said "'02-'06". Can someone please tell me whats going on?

I could only suspect the wiring, so reverse it and it should be fine. It is possible the manuf. messed up the wiring

yes the passenger side on my 95 coupe did this i pulled the door panel and luckily the wiring was really easy to remove from the connector. I switched the two wires and now it works perfect. It was a reman unit from oreillys and had been reversed from their remanufacturer. Not an uncommon problem

Ok thanks guys, I will try this tomorrow as I am too tired. I also have another question, I have removed the inner plastic that covers the door cavity. Will that affect anything? This one more specifically: http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...ent/Step11.jpg (ty dz63 for the picture)

It's a vapor barrier. I would reinstall it.

"i guess i will just use some duct tape to put it all back together again"

That would be my suggestion.

My suggestion would be much more expensive.

It keeps alot of road noise out so take Mike advice... Seal it back up!

I had the same problem - window worked the opposite of the normal switch operation. Just as bmxr4life87 said, I swapped the wires in the connector, and all is good now.

thanks

Guys it could be worse... my old DX's driver main windows control popped a contact somewhere... So you were able to open the 2 rear windows, but the passenger side closed with the drivers side switch, and the drivers side window wouldnt close anymore(even the local switch died)...

So i had to go to the rear motors, boost them closed with a cordless drill battery and then cut the wires.
