Power window will not work

Hi,

If you hear the motor running and making a sound like it's stripped. There is a gear that runs a cable that is likely broken. Have you removed the door panel to inspect?

Let me know.

Hi,

I attached a pic for you to see. Number 6 in the pic is the gear spool and 7 is the motor.

Here are directions for replacing the motor. It explains how the gear spool and everything is removed and replaced.

Removal Procedure

1. Raise the window.
If the window motor is inoperable, remove the window to gain access to the window motor retaining screws. See: Front Door Window Glass > Removal and Replacement
2. Remove the power window module. See: Front Door Window Regulator > Removal and Replacement
3. With the window regulator on the bench, remove fasteners one (1) and two (2) which will disconnect the drive housing and motor (4) from the rail (5).

Important: Do not allow cable gear/spool to come out of the housing. As the motor slides out of the gear/spool, hold the gear/spool into the housing with your fingers. The spool will unwind if it comes out of the housing.

4. Holding the motor and housing together, remove fastener three (3).

5. Slide the motor partially out of the gear/spool allowing finger access to the gear spool (6). Hold the gear/spool into the housing and remove the motor (7).

If you plan to replace the motor, yes. Once it is out, you can separate the motor from the spool gear.
