Passenger window won't dip when opening the door...

[deputydog95]

The passenger window goes up and down just fine. It won't dip down though when opening and closing the door.

What should I be checking? Is there any chance this could be a fuse?

My indy thinks it's the window regulator and that'll cost around $450 installed.

It is either the door handle switch or the regulator.

[deputydog95]

Any idea what the cost is for either of those pieces?

Switch is about $30 and regulator is about $215 (MSRP).

I just replaced my regulator for the same reason.

When you lift the handle and the window does nothing and makes no noise, then it's probably a switch.

If it makes a little noise and the window jiggles a little but doesn't go down, then it's probably the regulator.

Suncoast in Sarasota has window regulators online for $180 but if you go there in person they will try to charge you full retail which is like $250.

When I told the parts guy it would be cheaper for me to order it from thier website and have it shipped even though I only live 30 minutes away, he looked at the site and said 'wow your right' and gave it to me for $190.

Replacing the regulator isn't that complicated, and there are good instructions online, but it is kind of time consuming. $450 isn't a bad price. If you do it yourself make sure you remove the little stop for the boxter before you put it in. A set of plastic interior tools is worth the $15 but not necesary.

The interior door handle switch is replaced by removing the door panel and it just plugs in, I'm not sure about the other 2, you may need to remove the latch or door handle.

there should be 3 micro switches outer handle, inner handle,latch.

If U get the same result when you pull on the outside door handle & inside door handle(both),,,

most likely it's the freyed window regulator cable.
