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.
