Power Window Replacement
The power window went out on my dad's C5, and he has asked me to replace it. I was wondering if there are any guides out there that could help me along the way? Also, where is the best place to pick up a new motor? It is the passenger side window, not sure if that's the right or left side. I know it's the window, because I've tried both switches, and the window will not go down. Also, the motor has already been replace once, while under warranty. Is this a common thing to happen?
Thank you for any help.

The problem is probably the cable binding in the pulley setup.
I have replaced both of mine with used units purchased off ebay. It is a very simple job to replace the entire setup, but I would not recommend trying to repair or work on the cable inside the main housing/pulley.
I bought one for $20 and another for $50 off ebay.
