Power window failed
The driver side window won't go up, just stoped working on my 1994. Any thing I can check before I bring it somewhere? The passenger side works fine and so does the sideview mirrors.
Thanks.

take your door panel off and run 12 volts to the motor and see if it works if it does then it could be the switch or somethin electrical but it sounds like the motor to me

It is time consuming,but not difficult to get at the motor, last time mine quit, the plug was off the motor. Check it out see if the plug is getting 12 volts, if not switch or broken wire. If you have 12 volts at the plug the motor is gone and you need a new assembly. I get mine from the used parts vendors, if you need some numbers shoot me a note.

In my case I could hear the motor running but no window motion. Inspection revealed that the regualtor assembly has separated.
If your motor doesn't run with +12Vdc applied, replace the motor or regulator as possible. It realy isn't a difficult job, just a little time intensive the first time. I would say it's worth 2hrs of shop flat rate so maybe a Sat afternoon.
