Vanagoners: Following Joel Walker's and jgshepard's good advice, I dissected my driver side door. The Bentley diagram is quite clear (after the fact.) After extricating the motor/regulator from inside the door, I detached the motor. It would not run when hooked up to power. I then turned the shaft manually several revolutions and repowered. Success. After liberal application of 3 in 1 oil around the shaft, I reassembled everything and it's still working. My own surprise at this successful outcome is exceeded only by that of my wife and kids :) Presumably moisture and corrosion (temporarily) incapacitated my motor. Now to see if the passenger side nonfunctioning window can be similarly cured. Philip R. Hanlon Mobile, AL 91 Carat (Orly Blue)
