84 Power window just stopped ...
The passenger's side window just stopped while trying to raise the window the other day. Fuse seems to be fine, and the driver's side still works. I don't hear any noise from the motor when the switch for the window is pressed up or down. Any suggestions? Hope the motor didn't crap out on me. Thanks.

Actually I replaced the ribbon about two months ago, it was more a test of patience than difficulty. I know it's not the ribbon, because the window isn't falling and I cannot lift the window with my hand, and even when the ribbon was broken I could hear the motor trying and I don't hear that now. Does anyone know if the window switches go bad or anything along those lines? Or how do I test to see if the motor is shot?

I just went thru this, if you pull the door panel you can test the plus for power. I think you might even be able to just get the door insert out without removing the panel. I just pulled it as I was going to upgrade to the new style regulators anyway. Hope that helps, but mine was a dead motor.

Sounds like the motor has seen better days. My window did the same thing.
