Default Help me fix my window**

Never had a problem with this car in the 10 years I've owned it 04 CE coupe. Had been sitting for about 3 weeks. Went to drive it a couple days ago and the passenger window won't come down from either switch. When you try from the drivers side you can hear a clicking but that's it. I'm going to guess it's most likely the motor/regulator.

Any ideas would be helpful. Did a search but came up with a lot different unrelated things. Thanks in advance.

with the switch in the down position take the palm of your hand and rap the door panel about middle.

I had the exact same thing wrong with the passenger window on my 04. I fixed it this morning. Watch this video. Tap the motor with a hammer where he shows you. This should unstick the motor. This is what I did and the window is working as it should. Took me about a half hour. You do not need to remove the reflector or disconnect the window switch.

That worked for me. Only my window was stuck in down position. From then on I always brought it up a half inch and never left it in the totally down position, just to be safe.
