Default Power window not working

Right power window on 1989 stopped working. Checked switch and circut breaker/fuse and that's ok. Is there any other easy fix or do I need new regulator and motor For $250.

Your post does not state if you have tried to operate the RH window with the LH switch?

Flip the switches last weekend. Left window works fine with either switch. Was hoping it was only a $7 switch but appears not.

No movement, hear a slight "click" from door but no results!

The right window motor on my '87 quit too. I took the assembly out of the door and inspected the motor. It was really corroded inside. The brushes were still good so I just cleaned everything up by soaking it in Lysol Basin, Tub and Tile Cleaner (good for removing corrosion). I oiled it and the regulator assembly, reinstalled it and it works fine.

If you don't want the hassle, check Ebay. There's a guy on there selling new window motors for most cars a lot cheaper than $250.
