Trunk Release dont' work & Pwr window motor failing

[Tobal]

Hey guys my trunk release all of a sudden doesn't open the trunk no more. Anybody know what is wrong?

Also my Power windows motor is failing. The window goes up really slow now and sometimes just stops. Anybody know how much it is to get it done? i heard it was like $300 just to get that done. Also i wonder if i can just get that motor off a integra or something..the nsx did take a lot of ideas from other cars or vice versa.

I'll bet dollars to donuts that you've flipped the valet switch inside the glove compartment.

First, go to the NSX FAQ and read the "Power Windows" section under the "Troubleshooting" heading. The window mechanism might just need lubrication, or it might mean that the clip in the regulator is about to fail. If you have a '91-93 and you're not sure whether the regulators have been replaced or the window fix-it thingies have been installed, don't use the power windows until you have fixed the problem. It won't cost you $300 (actually, more like $400-500) unless the regulator actually fails and the window doesn't go up and down at all - but this could happen if you keep using it. If you have a '91-93 and you're not sure whether the regulators have been replaced or the window fix-it thingies have been installed, buy a pair of the fix-it thingies for $16 and have them ready. Then take apart the door. Lube the mechanism, and if the regulators have the old style clip, install the thingies at the same time.

No.
