All of a sudden the rear passenger window won't go back up on my 2001 GT when I press the switch. Doesn't respond or make any noise at all. Suggestions please

Fuse blown? If not, take out the motor and probe its two wires with an OHM meter. It should read under 20 ohms. Closer to 5-10 ohms. If it reads in this range, the three plastic bushings inside the gear box could have cracked and binded. You can replace these bushings with large nuts of similar diameter. If the ohm meter reads high or open, the brushes have worn out. If you get a parts store replacement, spend extra for the model with the longest warranty.

Yes, but not as common as a fuse, or the motor. Does the volt meter in your cluster slightly twitch when you try to move the band window up? What about the good window?

disconnect the master switch on the driver side door and then try using the switch on the door that wont let the window go up. Also have someone try to pull up when holding the switch down.

Either the motor is bad, regulator binding, or the bushings are bad. These are the most common issues. Motor being the very most common.

So I ended up getting a new motor from AM and it didn't come with any instructions....can't find a link or video on how to remove and replace the rear passenger motor...is it different on a coupe versus a convertible ?

45 minutes later and she's done , piece of cake. Next thing I have to replace are the cylinders that raise and lower the roof , because I was able to see them leaking when I was pulling the motor.
