Passenger Window Motor
Well it has happened. 13K on my 2003 Vette and the passenger windon stopped working. Anyone have any ideas before I head to the dealership?
When I press the button I hear a click like it is trying and maybe the brushes are stuck. Is this common?

Good luck. My passenger window stopped working a couple of weeks ago on my 22,000 mile C5 and the dealer replaced the entire window regulator for $653.05. Since they had one in stock, I believe it must be a common problem. With all the others items they have replaced on my car, they've had to order the part and then wait for a couple of days , sometimes a couple of weeks, for it to come in.

I just fixed my driver-side window stuck problem with the good 'ol beat on the window motor trick. Also a low mileage car - 10K miles, Year 2000.

Just had the passenger motor unit + relay replaced in my 04 to the tune of about $550 ~ of course, just 2k miles outside of warranty!
