This is horrible. My damn window won't go down. Last night it was going down REEEEAAAL slow, but going up normal. Well I figured there was something wrong with it, so I left it up, I didn't want it to die while down. Then it died on me, and won't move at all.

I don't know if it's the fuse or the motor. If it's the motor is it relatively easy to replace myself?

yoyr gonna haveto pop the door pannel off and find where the window motor is (i think its in the middle of the door towards the frnt of the car) first try hitting the motor with something (without breaking it) if it still doesnt work after you mess with it for a couple minutes then you need a new motor. they're not too expensive but im not sure how easy they are to remove and all

yeah sounds like youre gonna have to replace it. i would keep it up because you dont want it stuck down.

Sounds like a window motor for sure. They are pretty self explanatory to fix and shouldn't take more than an hour for the first time.

not trying to steal you thread but how can you get the door pannel off without having the door open. My door wont open or unlock

Very carefully [Big Grin]

Seriously though, just unbolt your seat on that side to give you optimal room and you should be able to manage getting it off without hurting anything.
