I just installed a 530T in my 2002 GMC Sierra. I have the power connected directly to the battery with a 10 gauge wire. All 3 grounds are connected to a paint free chasis bolt. the drivers door has 12 guage wires running into it and the passenger 10 guage wires. the orange is connected to the orange ground when armed wire from the remote start. My problem is that the passenger window won't roll up all the way, it will go a short ways up and then only do it inch by inch. Both windows go down just fine and the drivers will go back up with no problems. I have tried cleaning my tracks and tried all of the dip switch settings. Is there anything else I can do to make this work or should I try the modification as my next step? Any help will be great. Thank you.

The 530T has adjustments for current sensitivity, the five dip switches. Often times you have to turn up the level on the passenger side.

Yes, there can be a loss of current through resistance, to the passenger side. Excellent solder joints will go a long way, as well.

I had the same problem on my 2003 Chevy Tahoe, drivers window.

I cleaned and lubed my tracks. It helped SOME, but didn't allow them to go up all the way.

I did the modification on the 530t, and I haven't had a problem since.

I've tried all the settings with the dip switches and it still doesn't go all the way up. I have also cleaned and lubed my track and it still doesn't go all the way up. So I guess my next hope is to try the modification.
