Default Passenger window

Hey guys,

The passenger window on my 2003 coupe won't go down--neither the driver nor the passenger side control for the window will elicit any response. What do I do?

Default your window motor is more then likely burnt up.

By coincidence, I just replaced the passenger side window regulator assembly on my 2004. It has been working intermittently for months, but finally quit working completely. The door locks, everything else was fine. The window just would not go down.
I am not sure what happens to the motors on these things. They look fine when you get them out. They just quit working.
Put in a new one without doing anything else, and it works fine now.

You can get rebuilt window regulators on internet, or a new one at the dealer will cost you about $300!

Part number is 10344132 right, 10344131 left.

I am going to check this supplier if my other window goes out.
It is hard to believe they are exactly the same as the GM part. $140 is less than I would think the dealer could even buy it for. My contact in parts at the dealer showed me some examples where he got parts that "looked" exactly like the factory parts, but they were copies.
Did the packaging for the regulator you bought have any information on the country of manufacture? The last one I saw at a dealer said it was made in Germany.
