Hi

My na6 has passage side window problem which is similar to viewtopic.php?f=55&t=46393.
I try to fixed it today before reading that post, now my problem is that one of the cable is out of its position, and the window
is not working at all, but I still can force it up and down by hand, howerver it can't not fully up.
I have attached one picture of that cable, I want to know how to get it back to its location.

Looks like the capstan on the end of the cable has come out of the plastic anchor. See the link below for some photos and description. You will probably need to pull out the whole mechanism and reassemble it properly. A workshop manual would be a good investment!

Thanks for your help,
I have the workshop book, I may start the work next Monday,
too busy in these days.
three quick question:
1:Is that really necessary to disconnet the battery while remove the
window regulator?

2:What is the power window electrical connector and where is it?

3: The little clip on the cable is broken, where can I get one for replace?

No worries, I hope it helps.

1. Disconnecting the battery is good practice. Only takes a few extra seconds.

2. The electric window motor is connected to the wiring loom via a plastic plug inside the door.

3. Try phoning wreckers for an entire window motor assembly. MX-5 Mania might have one laying around. Otherwise your nearest Mazda dealer could probably get a new part for you. I still haven't replaced the bit that broke on mine, so you might just get away with rigging up some sort of replacement. Study the photos in your manual to see how it's meant to work.

I have some power window parts, e-mail me when you know what you need.

Hi buddy
Do you know how to take the whole motor assembly out,
I undo all the bolts, removed everything, but still not able to take it out from the frame holes.
My motor is working fine, I think just need to place the cables.
