    I'm a single mom trying to fix a car and I'm into something I don't understand. what I'm doing? Can i just change out the motor in the door or do I have to just replace the switch on the console?

    Sorry I have no spare money. Its ok I'll figure it out. The only thing that I can tell is that I need to get the controls that are on the coloum replaced. The motor in the doors seemed to work when my son did something to them. But thanks anyway.

I am glad that you found it to be a simple switch and not an expensive motor.

Replace electric window motor

Not much to your question, or what you need to know
You have to figure out how to remove the inner door panel
Then figure out how to remove the window regulator,if you find
it broken
Then if the motor or regulator needs to be replaced-- after testing
the motor,you have to remove the motor, in some cases & put
on the new regulator, or just install a new motor to old regulator
This is if those two items are the problem,could be a bad switch

Driver side power window on a 1999 chevy silverado LS won't go down. passenger side window works. bought new switch, nothing changed. bought new regulator with motor and still, nothing changed. i...

Motor is not turning in second direction to lower window. Either the new motor is defective or the device that reverses the electricity to the motor is defective. Regulator?

Take motor out and feed it juice - will turn. Reverse polarity and it should turn in other direction.

My 2000 Durango electrical/wiring problems...

The power lock problem is definately the electric lock actuator in the door. Replace it.
The power window problem could be the switch or the motor.
Put a test light on the motor connections. Operate the power window switch up and down. If the light works both directions, then replace the motor. If the light only lights one direction, then replace the switch... and you still might have to replace the motor afterward so do not think that replacing the switch is absolute. They sometimes fail together.

Install left window motor

I just did this on my Tuscani yesterday, :-)
Once you have the working motor in your hand,
Work with the car stoped and with the windows up.
Get the inside door-panel off ( http://www.tuscanituner.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119 ), cut a slice (that you will put some duc-tape on it after) the inside plastic to get to the 2 covers in hard plastic and remove them, just have to pull on them with your hand.
Remove the 3 bolt that hold the motor (put you hands by the 2 hole where was the plastic covers and feel the motor. Once the 3 bolt off, nothing will pop/spring-out/or unmount by itself. With your left hand, take the motor and manage to get it down to where the lower plastic cover was and you can twist it for you to see the other side of the motor because you have two philips screw to get off. Before separating the 2 parts after getting off the 2 screw, check realy good how it goes with the old and the new motor. get them apart and put the new one like the old one was, put the 2 screw back, untwist and put back in place, bolt on back the 3 nuts, replace the plastic cover, replug the electric cable. Put duct-tape on the slice you made or if you have a all new plastic pit it on, re install the inside panel of the door with the cables connected and test your new windows.

Electric window

it could be the switch on the door panel??? Are it could be the motor to the window. Take the door panel off, and jump the switch out. If it works by jumping the switch out. it will be and easy fix. It not, then you will need a new window motor. You can sometime pick an motor up for half price and your local junk yard. When you find your problem out and get it fix. go to the autoparts store an pick up a can of spray silicon lubercant, and spray it in your window tracks. over a pirod of time the window start dragging, causing the motor and switch to fail.
