The library didn%26#039;t have any books about window motors how do i get to it to change it|||You need to remove the screws that hold the panel on, then go around the edges with a regular screwdriver and gently pry the panel off.|||same thing happened on my %26#039;01. Dealer wanted $400. So I sold it! (Wanted something new, anyway.)|||All you have to do is remove the cover panel on the side of the door and it should be inside the door.|||Take my word for it... changing these motors is not fun. Behind the door panel is a couple of holes that you can get your hands in to get to the motor. The metal edges are sharp and the holes are small. I would take it to a dealer or a body shop and let them do it. Call around and get estimates.
It%26#039;s not as easy to R %26amp; R as one might think but if you are up for a challenge... Go for it. I%26#039;m not saying you can%26#039;t do it... I%26#039;m saying it won%26#039;t be fun. If there is something that caused the motor to give out, you would do well to rep[air that at the same time or the motor will fail again. Good Luck.|||Remove the trim pad on that door. Remocal of hardware such as handles may req a special tool. Before removal of motor make sure to install a bolt on the 2 arms of the regulator. This is to prevent them from swinging around and taking off your FINGERS! Before you do all this check switch and wires to make sure this is the problem!!!!The shop manual for this vehicle will show what to do as well. Be carefull!!|||if possible get the window in the fully up position. Take off door panel. Hold window up some way. I usually use duct tape stuck to the glass and over the door. The window regulator is spring loaded so you have to be careful or you can loose a finger or worse when you remove the window motor bolts. There should be a hole in the regulator that you can put a bolt through to hold the spring tension while you remove the motor. I think there are just 3 bolts or rivets that hold it onto the regulator.|||Make sure it%26#039;s not just the switch, or a loose wire first.|||Take this car to an auto electric repair shop in your area.....do not go to a dealer, they will rip you off blind for this repair.......sky high labor and parts prices......the door panel of course will have to come off and a new motor put in....some auto electrics may have a rebuilt motor with a guarantee.....had one replaced on my daughers Grand Am GT for about $150 installed with labor at an auto electric, Pontiac Dealer wanted $475 for this repair!!!!!
