Can you hear it clicking when you are pressing the button? If you can hear it clicking, try the Fonzi method. Turn the car on, press the down button and then bang on the door right below the door handle. Most say that this is a temporary fix and that replacing the window motor is inevitable.

From what I understand it happens to Z's more than others. The motors actually suffer more if they're not used than if they are used alot. Z's have more of this problem because there really isn't a huge need to roll down the window's cause there isn't a vert top or targa to take on and off. Do you roll them down much?

I still have the same problem on my driver side. Before you start beating the door to make relays click , try this. Open the door all the way, and start to move the wire bundle (inside the black grommet) back and forth while holding the switch in the down position. Usually it is a loose connection in the door jam and its not getting enough voltage.

Glad you got it fixed. I had to have my window regulator replaced under warranty.
