Default Does the Window regulator have any gears?

Vehicle: 1994 Honda Accord Ex, 4 dr.

Are there gears I can lubricate in the door/window regulator. I have the interior paneling off and cannot see any gears anywhere. Other cars have them.

You won't see any. 5th gens use a wire system to raise and lower the window. You can try lubing the tracks that the wire slides through...

cable motor that expance or compact the slider, there's a track with gear on it.

most of the time, the shop/previous owner use the wrong type of lude, the wrong type of grease baked up and jam the track, try some carb/intake clearner on the gear/tooth, clean it up a bit and then use the right grease.

I agree. I found out that with other vehicle window mechanisms I have lubed that the softer multi-purpose greases work much better. Thanks

Btw, where is the gear tooth, can you give me a hint? I have the Helms manual. is the location shown in it?
