Driver's side power window motor
The driver's side power window motor stopped going down on my 99 coupe. I bought a new motor from autozone. I tried changing it the other day. I removed the door panel. I took the 3 bolts that hold the motor in place out. But the motor is stuck to the cable.
The problem I am having is what about the cables that are stuck to the back of the motor? How do I take them off to get the motor out? There is a panel on the back of the old motor. How do I get it off?
I did a search for past posts on this subject. But I couldn't find anything on just removing the motor.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

In the GM service manual they do not show the motor being replaceable as its own piece. The regulator must be replaced as a whole with the motor attached to it. In '03-'04 they do show a motor as a seperate piece, but not for your '98. There may be a way to do it, but GM doesn't show it. Maybe somebody who has done it before will chime in.
