Window motor, regulator, or else?
Hey everyone,

My driver's side window is closed. When I go to put the window down, it doesn't go anywehre but you can hear the motor. Any ideas? Thanks

How has it worked before? Try to pull it down with your hands as you hold the switch. Sounds like the regulator.

Since I've owned it, the driver's side window hasn't moved at all. Like I said, I notice that the window motor is active but there is no motion at all.

Most likely the regulator or something jamming it.
Take apart the door panel and have a look.

I want a bit more information before I go and rip it apart. The window dropped a little bit (can obviously hear due to the sound). I'm just trying to narrow down if it's a regulator or else.

The ONLY way you're gonna find out at this point is by taking the door apart.
