Thanks John,

 

Yes, you can hear the motor run for a couple seconds when you press up, then again when you press down, but the windows doesn’t move at all.

 

I guess there’s a regulator in the very near future.

 

Thanks,

If you can hear the motor, then the regulator has probably failed. There is a plastic pin in the cable system in the regulator that fails. It's really mickey-mouse. Someone on this list rebuildd these regulators and puts metal pins or ruivets in plat of plastic. I would get one of those. They less expensive than new regulators.

You can hear the motor work for a second or two up or down, but the glass
doesn't move.

I'm assuming that it needs a power window regulator?

Unless it can be something else, I'll order it from one of our venders, then
take the door apart when it comes in.

Thanks,
