Hi,
Hi!!

Here is a little information on how window regulator works. Also step by step instruccions on how to remove and install the window glass.

Door Glass & Regulator Power Windows
Diagnosis & Testing
When the rear window lockout feature is enabled, the circuit is open and no voltage is supplied to the rear window switches. When the feature is not enabled, the circuit is connected to battery positive voltage. If this circuit is shorted to ground when the lockout feature is not enabled, the PWR WDO circuit breaker may cycle continuously OFF/ON until, either the lockout switch is pressed to open the circuit, or the circuit breaker is permanently damaged. All windows may be partially or totally inoperative while the fault is present.
Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the system. Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom. Faulty electrical connections or wiring may be the cause of intermittent conditions.

Your window regulator has failed. It is a fairly easy repair if you have some mechanical abilities. Simply remove interior door trim, there are mostly clips that hold this on but possibly a few screws/bolts. Under the trim is a water barrier that is attached with a tar looking adhesive, remove this as well but save it to re-install later. You'll have to pull the glass up inside the door to a point where you can get to the bolts on the clamps that hold it in the regulator, I like to use some duct tape to secure it in this position. DO NOT let it drop down inside the window again for this can break it. You are now ready to remove the old regulator.

Loosen the bolts that clamp the glass, find and remove the bolts that hold the regulator inside the door, disconnect the electrical connector to the motor.

Once you are able to turn the old part to the proper position it should come right out, Install motor on new regulator if necessary and install inside door, clamp window, connect electric connector. Now it's time to remove the duct tape and try it out, if all is good install vapor barrier and trim.

If this helps please leave me feedback.
