Both power windows failed?
I'll try this again...Both my power windows are making the clicking noise behind the door panel. This morning I accidentally bumped the passenger side window and it actually went down (both windows have been stuck up for a week or two now) but I immediately hit the "up" button but the window wont go up at all now...been trying all day and it wont move at all, just clicks. I am assuming that this is the regulator/motor gone bad in both doors? So I go to buy a manual from Autozone or Advance tonight and neither of them even carry a manual for the C5...So my next question is how does the door panel come off? I removed the little cover behind the pull bar on the door and removed both of the torx screws behind it but the panel still seems to be held on somewhere? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your doors have a Door Control Module in each door. Each module is data linked to the BCM and if you have a problem, more than likley there is a DTC Code set. Please read the codes that are stored in the DIC Memory and list them here.
Once you write them down, clear them and see if they come back. Write them down again and post what comes back the second time.
It is very uncommon for BOTH windows to fail!!

I have had my passenger side window "freeze-up" several times. If you will hold down the "down" button and close the door a little harder than normal this will usually get it to work. I think the trick is to use the window often as it tends to get stuck.

I tried the slam the door trick and the tap on the window motor with the panel off trick and probably was more aggressive than most would be and had no luck. I finally got the panel off (panel removal = http://www.vetteessentials.com/instr...or_handle.html) and felt the motor. It was warm which indicated that it was getting power and trying to operate. I manually pushed the window up about two inches and it started working on its own. It still tries to bind up in about 3 spots though, so I will spray the cables and pulley's as best I can with lithium grease tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's help in this matter.
