Replacing window motor?
My passenger side window quit working and wondering where to get a reasonable priced window motor for it. If you guys know anything please let me know where the best place to look for one is.

My passenger side window likes to stop working every few months. Have you tried sitting in the passenger seat, holding the button down and shutting the door.... kinda hard??
Last time mine stopped working, I held the button down from the driver's seat and revved the engine. I'm not sure if this is an electrical mis-engineering, weak motor or a moon phase problem, but something is causing the passenger side windows to stop working.
If none of this works...... and you still want to attempt a repair, you could check with Gene's Karshop (CF vendor). He may have a used one for you... but..... the used one may also be bad.

The Motor and regulator are one unit. The swap wasn`t too bad. Marking the window along the clamping frame with a marker made adjusting it easier.
Fred Beans is running a "Dealer Cost" Special till the end of the month, I think the assembly cost me 165.00.

If the C5 uses a typical GM motor/reguator unit, you can get a rebuilt one from NAPA for $67. They are left and right specific. Use someone's web site to obtain the C5 part number, then search for another popular GM vehicle. Turn your old one in to save the $ 25 core charge. It would be best to run 12 volt and ground jumper wires to the unit first to make sure it's not a switch causing the malfunction. I replaced my wife's drivers side unit last month. It quit working because a small segment of the Nylon worm gear lost the top of its teeth. Electrically, the motor was fine.
