So can you hear the motor working. Maybe its the same thing wrong with mine. You may need to put new bushings in the window motor. You should go through and check to see if if the window is off the tracks. If the motor is working at all. If they both are good then I bet you will need new bushings in the motor.

i don't hear the motor all i really hear is like a click but not from the switch its like down in the door kinda, and i talked to ppl and they said it might be a fuse or a relay but the owners manuel doesn't help much with those,

Did you go through and look at the fuses to see if any of em are out?

duche

not the one that is labeled for the window in the box in the engine bay, but the set under the driver side of dash is alot different then the owners manual is saying. but we were thinking cuz if it was a fuse would'nt that mean that the other window wouln't go up? cuz the passenger side works fine

It may be the connections from the window switch through the wiring. Or maybe the motor is completely out.

I have gone through a few window motors in my life, and I know that the click means the window is getting power and switch. So if you deduct the two, all that is left is a window motor. Sucks that the motors always go out when the window is DOWN!

duche

thanks alot, but is there anyway of gettin the window up till i can take it to a shop? or is a motor easy to replace with basic tools?

The best thing to do is go ghetto. Take a piece of plastic drop cloth and duct tape the window closed. Drive around for a few months like that. Adds about 15HP. Lots of Cadillac's runnin round here like that!

The window can only go up with the motor removed. Any force to close the window manually may cause damage to the regulator guides.

The motor shouldnt be too hard to replace. I think it comes down to if you want to sit around with the patience to do it or if you'd rather just pay someone else to do it. You'd have to take the door panel and the plastic behind it off and take out the speaker.
